strong puzzles and polish set this one apart!

Very clean presentation, enjoyed the levels in this one!

This is a quite polished version of this popular concept. I really liked the mechanic of the falling tiles and that it seemed like you put a lot of effort into the level design :)

Submitted(+1)

This is the most polished and relaxing of the puzzle games I've played so far.

I love the clean, minimal art, the music and general atmosphere, you succeeded in creating a unique look and feel in 48 hours.  Really nice work!

Really cool style. This has the best look and style of any of the similar puzzle games I have played. The music was so calming and really fits the puzzle genre. I also like how you have to get the symbol face down, unlike a lot of the similar entries.

I would say that moving the camera just makes the game harder as the controls are not relative to the camera orientation.

Overall an amzing puzzle game.

This is the second game with this concept that I have played, but yours is the more polished of the two. I like the breakable floor mechanic, that is certainly unique to your game. Moving the die faces feels like it has a few tricks to it, and while I have only figured out a few of them it was still an enjoyable game to play.

A nice and challenging puzzle game! If I may though, moving the camera tends to make it really hard to control the dice, as the controls are relative to the game world not the camera orientation. Other than that it's a good concept and an even better execution! とても楽しくて難しい!

Thank you for your kind words! I really enjoyed making this game! Believe it or not, aligning the controls to the camera were on my todo list, but with the lack of time, I could not implement it before the deadline. I believe a lot of participants had to cut out some functionality to make it in time. At least the camera allows you to see what's behind the die, even though it's horrible to navigate from a different angle. どうもありがとうございます!

Beautiful presentation, loved the puzzles! It feels strange that you match the bottm face with the ground tiles and not the top face, but I guess it also works! Good job!

Developer

Thanks!!! Yes, I've been playing other similar games, that implemented your suggestion, and I though to myself: it is so much more user friendly to match up with the top face. But at the moment I was building this game, It felt more natural that you "STAMP" the tile with the bottom face. But yeah, too late for that ^^

Clever puzzles and I liked the atmosphere. But If you put some feedback to the controls, it may feel more responsive and fun.

Daisu, LOL. Love the presentation and atmosphere.  I got stuck on the 3rd level, but I am fully rubbish at these kinds of puzzles so I enjoyed it all the same!

Developer(+1)

Hehe, I am guilty of watching too much anime! Thanks for the kind words and for giving my game a try. This is the first puzzle game I develop, so the difficulty curve might not be the most smooth. Maybe I should do a walkthrough video!

Submitted

Really enjoyed the zen atmosphere. I also liked that the game did not punish you but instead encouraged to experiment and keep going.  Lovely, simple and clean artstyle. 

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game! Everything feels super responsive and smooth, and the music and art really set the vibe of the game. I enjoyed solving the puzzles, and I loved the way you introduced the different mechanics incrementally. I felt the camera controls were slightly unintuitive at first, and I would've preferred a more free-form camera rather than fixed positions. But overall, this was a really cool and fun game! Nice job.

I've seen a lot of screenshots of similar dice-rolling-puzzles this jam, but this is the first I actually played.  The presentation is great, everything is very polished.  I was able to beat all 6 levels, but the last couple really seemed to involve much puzzling.  It could do with a couple more "real" levels once everything is tutorialized, but I guess you ran out of time. Fair enough.

Also, "Juriasu Shiza" lol.

Developer

I feel flattered that you choose to play my game and I truly appreciate the empathy and for sliding in my shoes. Time is one of the most difficult constraints on this jam and so, decisions and compromises need to be made. 
And BTW, you are the first one to get the joke/reference, so thank you so much, it made my day!

Looks really good! But the controls don't rotate with the camera :(

Submitted(+1)

Cool game. A undo button would be nice in the levels where you can mess up, so you don't have to start over (Like level 5)

Submitted

Love the theming and presentation here! Wish there were more new ideas on display, but what you have was really well done.

Submitted

I really enjoyed and loved this! That red smoke animation when the face hits is so neat, the visuals and art were amazing. Most of the games like this I've seen make the player match the top face to whatever is on the tile, but it was nice to see another matching the bottom one! Really elegant and relaxing! :)

Submitted

A fun little relaxing puzzler

Submitted

Simple elegant game. Very nice!

Being able to rotate the camera was nice to check where each side is but it's still hard to track multiple sides mentally as you move about. An undo button would be very helpful for the later levels especially level 6 where it was hard to remember what steps I had already taken upon restarting. The aesthetics were nice; clean and minimalist is usually looks good when done well.
