How does your game fit the theme?

Some on-the-fly observations; otherwise, I tend to agree with many other comments.

I think your idea is great, but it would require extremely refined crafting of the dungeon’s architecture so that the player does not get lost and can circumnavigate the cube in a logical manner towards the objective. Quite ambitious for a game jam! Actually, I think you could have taken a 2x2x2 cube and already design a more workable yet challenging dungeon.
An original and audacious entry! :)
Question: so, what is the big deal with Probs’s behaviour? What’s the epilogue?
Wow that's quite a dungeon puzzle. A zelda like game with a rubix cube puzzle is a very unique idea for this jam. I must admit though I also clipped through the wall in the last room to get to the King's die.
OK, so I do love this idea of this confusing twisty turning dungeon that's a rubik's cube, but I did feel more lost and confused than anything else. Eventually I clipped a wall and made it to the end accidentally.
But again, I love this idea itself. I think if the idea was introduced gradually, with you first restricting the player and slowly exposing them to more and more options -- then it could work. Start puzzle-y and then slowly become more chaotic. There are some free downloadable sokoban games like Corrypt or Promesst that are like this if you want an example -- the games start in small spaces but then by the end everything is super chaotic, and I imagine that'd be the design you'd want to go for rather than something that just feels maze-y.
also plz have a longer music loop (it's not bad, I love chiptune, but that music bar has now been pounded into me)
This game reminds of the legend of zelda on the NES. Very cool game!
Great game!
I love the retro art style and the music really fit the game. The movement mechanics could be a bit faster and mabye don't stop the player when they swing their sword.
Apart from that, excellent game!
Nice game, slightly too difficult to navigate, but I enjoyed it
The Rubix cube idea is nice and the visuals look cool.
a bit frustrating but I guess so is every dungeon crawler game 😂
I guess more polish and making it a fast-paced game would make it a bit more fun
the sword swing was a bit too slow and super accurate that hitting enemies felt less rewarding than it should be.
But it's a nice game, good job!
The idea of being in a rubix cube is really impressive. The 3D asset reminds me a bit of Zelda BOTW dungeon maps. However, it was quite difficult to navigate through this moving dungeon. I think you did a amazing job implementing the jam's theme.
The rubic idea is really cool, but it just so frustrated to get to the finish.
The rubix cube minimap and dungeon layout is a really cool idea! Albeit, a bit hard to navigate and figure out :P
Music was sadly way too repetitive, and took away from the experience. But I enjoyed the concept nonetheless!
