Very nice presentation for a pico8 game, well done. I just can't wrap my head around the whole dice matching mechanic 😂

Soul DealerGreat use of the PICO-8 system to create a simple, fun, and stylish game! Felt like most puzzles could be solved by going in circles randomly, but I feel like that fits the theme :D

Dice RollerI had a blast cheesing my way out of every lvl just rolling until I got the number I needed, maybe with rewards for moving less than x quantity of times it would be more strategic.

Priti and the loaded diceThanks for the comment. At the moment the only reward is getting a compliment when finishing the level with few enough steps. But you're right, it would be nice to save best results and have ratings or medals based on how well you do. While I don't mind players cheesing their way to the solution on their first playthrough I would like to encourage players to try to optimize their runs. That's where most of the fun is for me at least. I'll keep this in mind.
Seen this style of game before a few times now, but I enjoy the freedom in your version. Being able to use other dice to match, and having to land on any adjacent square instead of perfectly on one make it much more enjoyable to play. Visuals work well, and UI is simple and effective. Well done!

Thrown OverBoardI really liked the atmosphere of this game, either in the sound effects or in the design. You took the 8bit approach and that' s cool. The music is a bit repetitive but it's still in the game theme. As for the gameplay, simple and effective, it challenges you by making a better score for solving the levels.
Really good job in such a short time!
Really interesting puzzle system - being able to match dice with other dice as well as with yourself opens the possibilities up for different puzzles and different solutions. Nice work!

A Dice Meal"You can do better" Whaaat, how would you know that game? Its not like I completed it through running around randomly, right?.... Okay, maybe I did. I just have trouble understanding the dice as a 3d space still, though the indicators on the side do help a bit haha. Overall the visuals look super nice I must say, it has simplicity but accomplishes a lot within that simplicity. The game is very well done.

Rig Rat RushA very clever puzzle game! I loved the challenge that these puzzles bring, and the "you can do better" when you don't get the optimal route definitely made me restart so many times haha. I felt the text was a bit hard to read at times, and like X and C aren't your typical keys for selection and restarting, so if I had to nitpick, that would be my only issue. But I mean the description covers it pretty well so honestly that's not much to complain about. Overall I really enjoyed your game! Good job!
