How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you play as a die balancing on top another die while surrounded on all sides by other dice. The objective is also pretty dicey: maneuver the platform die underneath you such that you land on top a given die face - all while under a time limit and trying not to fall off of the platform die! This was a solo project.

The game is fun and neat.  I personally enjoy such kinds of games and I really love how the game looks like!

Nice job!

Nice and goofy! ... I enjoyed playing this. I seem to feel same as @joey G (below in the comments) ... Also I think you can make it a top down, isometric style camera to get a better visibility of the dice and adjust it especially when it is falling off to the other side... But really nice work!

I think this game works really well with mouse controls. It's fun to quickly spin the dice underneath the character without falling off! If you wanted to expand this project, it would be cool to see some more varied/goofy objects--like a crate you must walk around to find the correct face or label or something...

This is a really unique game, very chill atmosphere, whilst also being quite difficult.

Something happened when I clicked on controls to see how to play the game....then everything froze.  Let me know if you get it fixed

Really chill and relaxing game. I can see how this can get addictive! I had some issues with the web build that would lose input in the main menu after pressing a button and couldn't start the game. Reloading and making it full screen fixed it.

Wow! I gotta say I was not expecting much from this game, but the gameplay concept is really good!! Found myself falling into that good ol' "just one more try," loop. As I write this I kinda wanna go try again. The variety in dice helps a lot, keeps things fresh. And the background music is very chill, really helps make this an overall super chill, super fun game. Really great stuff!
