Just played through the game, some remarks ensue.

  1. The keyboard controls are QWERTY, but you could make them layout-independent. (I have an AZERTY!)
  2. The idea is super creative. :)
  3. The camera movement is a bit slow, especially when the dice are sparsed.
  4. You should make it clear that even if the die number would make a die go beyond, it will in fact be stapled at the end. I got to a point where I was near the end, with a 3, and I thought any move would make a die fall! :o XD

    Fun fact: I made a screen capture right before by coincidence, and the value was 3 right before the pseudo-stuck situation and also right after it; this is a montage where the ‘upper’ red row comes from the ‘after’ step. X)
  5. Some moves feel a bit too random, especially in hard mode with only two dice (that’s how I lost one of them, actually: there had exactly the same progression and I could not see far enough). This may be an intended aspect of the game, nonetheless. ;)

Very innovative and pleasant (and easy on the eye), well done! :)

Double epilogue:

  1. Succeeded to save all dice in ‘Normal’ mode at my second attempt! :D And I had started randomly for the first one because I had then not totally understood how to proceed, so that does not count. ;p

  2. Managed to save one die (the other fell not far from the end, on a pure 50/50 chance) in hard mode on my very first attempt, going rather fast! :) (Since I am trying to test and review games way faster now, I am too slow. XD)

PS: the clickable buttons from the interface were very slow to respond; I am not aware if this is caused by the software itself or my computer. I have noticed that Unreal Engine games tend to run slower on it, so, there may be a connection.

Cool game! I liked the lighting and look of the game a lot. One thing that I found a bit frustrating though was that there was a little too much rng involved, and often times I'd run into a situation where I wouldn't be able to look ahead without sacrificing another die. Regardless, the concept is really cool and I enjoyed playing. Great work!

Developer

thank you very much. We thinked about adding like it a button on where you can reroll about 3 times

This is a super cool puzzle concept! It took me a minute to realize I could use one cube to scout ahead for the other! Really clever and well done!

Developer

Very cool idea! Super chill to play. The bloom is a little bit high, or maybe it's just the light being so bright, but some dice are so bright it's almost completely white. Other than that little complaint it's really well made! :D

Developer

I see your point, thank you!

Game was fairly well polished. An in game tutorial might have helped but the descirption on the game page was sufficient. Overall a fairly good game.

Developer

EXTREMELY laggy, but i did find it sort of addicting

Developer

Sorry for that. We hav obviously had not enough time to test the game performance wise. I had no problems my self. Maybe you could try to set the .exe file to compatibility mode. But thanks for your comment =)

Had problems with it on a old graphical board. Was super laggy...

That is unfortunate, because the game seemed pretty interesting to give some more tries and try to get all dice to the end :)

Graphics are excellent how ever it took me a couple attempts to figure out the rules, A tutorial or rules screen wouldn't have gone amiss. I also found that sometimes you can't actually make any moves without your dice dying. Overall excellent presentation and graphics. Great Job!
