The balance struck between chance and out-of-controlness is very nice. The game encourages you to take risks, and penalizes you accordingly. The upgrades all made sense. Very addicting, watch out.

I spent way too much time on this game XD

This is a really great tycoon game. Love the risk and reward thing of the 6, but I got softlocked when a dice fell off, and I got some 6.

Dear gamedev, I would like make a police report of a case of missing time.. all I remembered was clicking onto your page, and suddenly lost a lot of time! :P This is my favourite game in the jam so far! Slick and smooth gameplay, relaxing music, yet superbly exciting and tense at the same time! Never know when those chain reaction explosion are going to happen pushing dice off the table... and yet I still try to make them happen... accumulating all the dice up in the corner, and ricocheting one lucky die from behind in there! The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward! Muahahaha! I'm also impressed at the physics, they felt natural, and I haven't encountered any stuck die situation! The icing on the cake were the satisfying sounds of dice rolling on the table, hitting each other, and exploding.. pretty awesome that you recorded those yourself! Very well done, for a fantastic game! :D

wow i didn't expect this game to get this addictive. The sounds and animations are perfect, hearing that sound of the dice hitting each other is amazing. Getting multiple 6s in a combo feels so, so good (until the last one falls in the hole and you lose all your dice damn it!). Really I didn't expect much when i started the game but i must say it's really addictive. Very nice job

Very chill game ^^

I enjoyed that, got myself a trophy. Satisfying to throw dice and potentially get an exploding chain. Sound effects were on point. The only potential issue is that holes were rarely bothersome since they were so cheap to fix.

This was a lot of fun! great work on the sound design! I also had a combo of six like 4 turns in a row hahaha. Felt good

Super polished game, I wish I could come up with simple ideas like this more easily. Just needed faster pacing or maybe more challenge like randomizing the holes!

Simple but complex, love all about it. This is a great game that really has that 'just one more time' feeling coupled with the tension only exploding sixes can provide when that collect has reached high.

A masterclass in game design principles -  simple mechanics and excellent progression system, risk-reward balance and replayability. The maximum exploding dice distance could be reduced a tad!

Very simple and fun mechanics!

Awesome and simple concept, but surprisingly really fun! I love the satisfying sound effects, the cute music is pretty fitting, and the potential of exponential explosions with chaining 6's is a genius mechanic. Also, that pixel art effect for rolling the die is brilliant, I couldn't figure out a good way to do that in my game but you nailed the tradeoff of complexity and showing the 'roll' effect. Great work! 10/10

Fun game, cool theme.

Fun game. It's very satisfying rolling a dice into a big dice pile and seeing the 6's explode to more dice.
