I like the idea. Maybe adding a button that allows you to see what face has the side your looking for would be helpful for many times I lost where the dotted side was relative to me

It’s a cool idea that player trying to rotate the dice to match what’s on the ground. However, the dice rotation is a bit weird, and there’s no easy way to make sure.

I feel like we have technological progress for a reason. The reason for Atari games looking like your game was that they didn't have the tech to do better. You do. Use it. 

This resembles bloxorz, a flash game. The heyday of flash games was ten years ago, yet this game shows a regression in quality compared to that time.

The pips don't move accurately. The fact that you can't see the rotation of the cube because of art style and tech makes things harder than they need to be. There's colour involved for some reason (the pips on the ground are yellow while those on the die are black, and that difference is remarked upon by the game.)

What I think you should have done: 

  • Choose a crisp 3D setting. Something with the visuals of Monument Valley might have worked nicely. Make it somewhat pretty.
  • Show the rotation of the cube happening.
  • Whatever you do, have the cube rotate properly. This cube did not do that.

Good luck next time!

Hi there. I like the art of the game as it has a retro aesthetic, but sadly the text colours are difficult to read (not colourblind friendly) and mechanically the game does not work (The dice pips weren't changing on the first level)
