This is a neat & fun concept, I have a lot of fun. The flow of the game maybe could be a bit faster but I enjoy the randomness. Great job!

Very sad when this happens D: Basically I get a lot of minus points. The total randomness of the game makes it extremely easy to get unlucky, and that drags the game out by a LOT. The most frustrating would be gathering the needed color circles to mix them into the correct color. It took me so long for those.

One of the ways to make the game less tedious and make the player feel less bad having to get rid of 6 value dice and get minus points is to increase the spawn rates of the lower value dice. Also, do something about the coloring as well - make it less tedious for the player to wait for too long for the RNGesus to appear and say "ok it's been 3 minutes, here is your red circle. Now wait for another 3 for a yellow circle so you can make the orange dice xd".

Or, maybe remove the minus points system entirely, since it only drags the game out.

The art is good, the audio is also decent, however.

Also I ranted for quite a lot because I actually got to 20k points, and it was a bit frustrating :v

Totally personal opinion, hopefully I gave you some good Karen-like insights (yes I am aware that this sounds like a Karen throwing a tantrum).

P/S: I couldn't give live commentary due to not being able to stream, sorry

Great concept for a frantic puzzle game! 

It felt really good to get into the flow of the game, running to combine dice while planning out my next moves based on the conveyor.

There's a few quality of life changes that I think this game could use, however:

Like other comments said, a way to discard unwanted dice would be good.

I think combining colours should work in all directions, not just with the dyes. For example, combining a red 1 with a yellow 1 should produce an orange 2. This would cut down on the time spent waiting for the right two colours to come by to make the correct dice, and add another layer of depth to the gameplay.

Lastly, a button to swap held dice without combining would be nice.

I think this concept has a lot of potential! I hope you keep working on it after the review period has ended!

I quite like the concept and the artstyle. Took me a while to figure out the ropes at first, but once i got it i really enjoyed it.

Really cool game, love the art style. The other comments have covered all the parts that to be worked on so I won't mention the same thing. This could be a very addiction mobile game!

Submitted

Interesting concept! Would love to see a way to manage unneeded dice more and maybe speed up the conveyor belt a bit to make it feel a bit more interactive and frantic, I could see this being very addictive!

needs a way to get rid of unneeded dice, LOVE THIS GAME though

Congrats on submitting - I have no comments for this game other than the fact I don't know how to get orange dice xD

Other than that this game is great - cool concept, slots are limited, looks good. Good job on everything :D
