Just finished testing the game! :)

Various on-the-fly comments:

1. Ah, I see the game really switches the screen resolution (first one that does it to me !).
2. Some texts overflow a bit out of the screen (such as what I infer is ‘progress’ in the instructions).
3. You even included a level selection screen, nice! :) I think the menu is nicely detailed, especially the instructions.
4. I think it is a bit harder to get the configuration of the die in top-view 2D instead of (pseudo-)3D, although the die net/pattern is a great help. Actually, I had thought (and tested!) putting such a pattern in my own game, and preferred the alternative pseudo-3D display of a cube (my version — which is a bit rough and could be enhanced — can be seen in the screen captures, if you wish to see what I am thinking of).
5. I think the red square showing what the next top side will be is a great addition. For the record, Marimbla goes out of its way to give the player the projections of the die according to all movement possibilities; your idea is also useful.
6. Ironically, the mouse control you decided on would help those people that have trouble getting used to keyboard controls in (pseudo-)3D perspective, but keyboard controls would have been totally fine in such top-view 2D. XD Nothing serious, I just got accustomed to keyboard controls. :)
7. Great that you put the main gameplay sounds, too (movement + defeat + victory). It helps understanding what happens.
8. Oh, because of the ending drawing, I thought you needed to have a 3, but you don’t! Maybe change the ending drawing so that there is no possible confusion?
9. Very innovative: most puzzle games I saw were asking for a specific value to be reached for some tiles, but yours asks for broader conditions! :)
10. The drawings are intuitive (value + comparison operator).
11. I am solving the levels on semi-intuitions. Relatively often, you can guess that you will have to roll on a 2x2 zone to get the right die configuration. (Guess what? The same is true in my game. ;))
12. Level VII (with conditions =4, <3, =5) gave me some trouble! Probably because of more possibilities for rolling the die on the initial 3x3 square area. I had to think more of how to get a correct state for passing the first conditional tile, although I still thought ahead on a semi-intuition instead of careful planning.
13. I realize this was the last one! XD So, the difficulty progression seems fair. :)
14. Technical note: quitting the game, I see everything went back to normal resolution-wise (including the desktop icons); I was afraid there would be a mess, as this sometimes happens with ‘true’ fullscreen. ;)

Takeaway: this was a nicely presented puzzle game, where I see the main idea and innovation is to use comparative conditions. The levels were also relatively difficult if you try to solve them legitimately/fairly, I think. Even through intuition / brute force, it was not that obvious.

Sorry you had this technical problem… <:( Since the voting is over, I give you what I think I would have chosen, for feedback purposes (so you can try re-computing the final result counting it!):
Enjoyment: 4 / 5 (the level design was fair to good; not 5 because maybe more variety or a way to have the player not use brute force easily but still be able to solve would have made it even more pleasant)
Creativity:  4 / 5 (because: clever core mechanic for the tile conditions, although several entries also thought of the classic rolling die with printed tiles; not 5 because of this latter classic aspect)
Presentation: 4 / 5 (the tiles are simple, but you managed to take care of a clearer UI related to how the die moves, the menu with instructions and level selection is nice, the sounds are functional, the tiles are functional including using an implicit colour code; not 5 because some solo entries were prettier — animation, colours… I am thinking of the beautiful diSe)

I realize these are (very) good marks, especially considering you were alone in doing this and this is your very first game! :) And this is yet a different take on die puzzle games; all I saw were different. (DOS, mindDie, Marimbla, Face Value, diSe, very good game, and mine.)

Great job, it was a totally worthy entry. :)

To all looking to review this game, know I messed up. I did not read the full rules for the jam and posted a link to a compiled version of this game submitted some 24hs after the deadline. No code was added the only difference being the font displayed to the screen as the compiler I used  was not compatible with the default font in pygame. Nonetheless, it is against the rules of the jam and if I am disqualified from the GMTK2022 game jam so be it. For me I took part as a bit of fun but posting links to a different project is severely disrespectful to all others in the compotation, and for that I am truly sorry. I have been humbled by words of encouragement from other game developers as this is my first time on itch, taking part in a game jam or indeed making a game at all. If you still wish to play the game after reading this you will need pygame and numpy installed, please only rate this page and the work that I submitted to it. Thank you to all that sent me kind word and left feedback, it means a lot.

This game's awesome! All the levels are extremely cleverly designed -- I'm not great at these block-rolling puzzles, but the way the trap tiles are set up naturally lead you to the solution without making it feel frustrating. The sound effects are super satisfying and the graphics are nice. I really love the dice net feature, which made it so much clearer as to how all the faces were related and which would come next. If you don't mind me asking, how did you calculate the rolling of the die? I wanted to use something similar in my game, but between all the different faces and rotations I couldn't figure it out.

P.S. I appreciated the executable version. There have been some other pygame games that were a pain to get running, but the exe file made it trivial. What library/program did you use to compile it?

Really good idea, and the levels where incredibly well designed. My only problem is that I was able to brute force most of the levels by repeating sequences of movements until the dice fitted. Perhaps it isn't possible to make levels where this is more dificult but maybe giving more open spaces so that there are too many routes to repeat them all would force people to find the correct route.

Cool you be able to share a .zip, fun game, specially for a first try ^^. 

https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1619517 if you want to try our game :) 

Unfortunately, even if one downloads all of the provided files, the game does not appear to be playable. There are build-files/dependencies that aren't included (My attempt to play it failed at attempting to import numpy). Good learning experience for future Jams though!

You may also want to look into compiling your python program into a single standalone executable. There are tools available to do that for you, that would make it easier again to run your game. Just an idea for next time

Please put these files in a zip so people don't need to download each individual asset
