I like the concept, but I felt very confused with the controls, even explained 😅 Otherwise, as other said the game feels relaxing but I think having an objective for each would have made it more entertaining.

Nevertheless, there are many maps, congrats on delivering so much in the timeframe!

All 5's from me! That was a very enjoyable game, I like the city builder style. The art is good, but some times it is hard to differentiate between the dice that are already placed and the dice that still haven't been placed. Nice game though, I really like it.

Developer

Thank you very much !

Cool game! Clever twist on the city builder genre. 

One note is to think about adding symbols to the dice as the colors aren't very colorblind friendly (the blue/purple in particular are pretty difficult to distinguish)

Developer

You're right ! From the start I knew the game wasn't very colorblind friendly, and I wanted to add options to correct that, but I didn't have the time ! :c Thank you very much for your comment ! Glad you liked the game !

The City Builder combination with Dice twist is really clever!

What I liked?

- The different type of dice effects on the city

- The controls felt really smooth and nice to use

- The pretty minimalist style

Other comments:

- I found an "exploit" where I could put dices outside of the tiles, I just needed to hold left click with a dice outside of the tiles area

- It would have been nice to have a little music while playing

Overall great work!

Simple but appealing. Interesting concept. It would be nice if there was some sort of casual theme music playing in the background.

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the game !

Nice, relaxing, city building game, awesome!

I like the games simple art style although you could make the dice actually look like dice.

Developer

Thanks for playing, and for your comment !

Really clever and a nice, chill game. The only problem I had was the general silence from the lack of soundtrack and my terrible luck getting transport blocks. Otherwise, really clever premise and design choices all around!

Developer

Thank you ! Sadly I didn't have time to design a way to stop bad luck from being too damaging to a game :/ Glad you liked the game !

Developer

Very nice little city ! Thank you so much for playing !

It looks like you and I had similar ideas! Kind of. I really like your approach of actually building the city with the dice directly.

Developer

Thank you ! It's cool to see the similarities between our games ! Hope I'll see you around at other jams !

This is the dice-themed 48hour version of Dorfromantik. Really liked it!

Developer

Haha ! Thank you ! I didn't even realize it, but it was absolutely an subconscious influence !

Its a nice calm game I like being able to build it but I had terrible luck getting the transport blocks lol. Really chill experience.

Developer

Ah, sorry about that ! Glad you liked it !
