Nice minimalist implementation, and a fun almost rhythm-like component to it! Gets pretty hard when the tempo speeds up, but I'm sure with some practice I could get some pretty long runs in this. Certainly a unique take on the theme! Also nice to see a fellow Godoter :)
Thank you! It actually came to a point where it feels too easy for me to play, but it's because I had to play it a lot while developing. Yes, Godot is great, especially for these kind of short game jams!
Very slick visuals, good controls and nice idea. One thing I would add is sound when you miss or score a point.
Thank you. That's something I intended to add, coupled with a visual effects, but didn't have time.
Really striking visuals! Snappy controls allow you to rotate the die with ease. The SFX and the visual effects clearly telegraphs everything so you don't have to worry about randomly running out of time. Overall clever design!
Thank you very much!
Really solid game. Visuals are clean. When you get into the flow on a fast combo its great.
Thank you.
Kinda reminds me of that Wii game where you turn your Mii to fit through a hole.
That's cool, can't say I know the game though.
Very elegant game, both aesthetically and gameplay wise! It surely remembers me of good, old arcades. I've particularly enjoyed the fluidity of the dice movement: being this a game about reactions I think it was very important to make feel right and you nailed it. I tried other similar games that were much more fiddly or kinda laggy, while this is much more enjoyable.
Two minor notes of other things I've appreciated:
1) the fact that when you make an error, the time slows down (at least I think it does haha!)
2) the small hints you added. A simple thing, yes, but the "sum of opposite sides = 7" really helped me and was crucial when dice pips were not visible.
Thank you very much for such detailed comment and for playing!
The game indeed slows down after each error, there's also one of the hints about it.
The hint about the sum is actually guaranteed to be the first one you see, since it's integral to the gameplay.
Oh well this confirms that you were aware of the importance of the "sum = 7" rule, good job on the decision to make it clear from the very start!
Fun little game, simple but well made! Well done :)
Thank you!
Really good game. after a while it gets a little difficult for me, but it also enjoyable
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Neat! Nice and simple. The little tip that said 'each new number is always one turn away' helped boost my score a bit. It gets repetitive after a while, but that's to be expected. I wish it was a little clearer when you failed; it took me a moment to realise what my health was and how I messed up.
Who knew you'd start to intimately get to know every side of a die thanks to this jam :)
Thank you! Very valid critique, I wanted to properly indicate the failure, but didn't have time in the end. Right now the clearest way to tell if you failed is from the timer slowing down.
cool game took me a second to figure the game out
Thanks for taking the time!
Very simple, and incredibly unique. Love the concept, and wonderfully executed. Great Job!
Thank you! I'm very happy you think it's unique!
Wonderful! Easy to understand, enjoyable to play. Made me realize I'm not that good at visualizing positions of numbers on the sides of a die
Thanks! It definitely takes some time to get used to.
This game is simply great. Perfect game to pass the time! :)
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Simple, polished, and very engaging. Like many others have said this would be perfect on mobile.
Thank you. I guess now I have to seriously think about porting it to smartphones.
Simple but incredibly polished! Kudos to that!
I also think that smartphones would have been the best platform for this.
Thanks!
Yeah, touch and mouse drag controls is something I thought about.
Simple and well executed game. I love how fast it gets over time. It requires fast reaction time, or knowing where the numbers are on a 6-sided dice. Overall i think this is a great game. Good job. It would fit perfectly on smartphones.
Thank you! I actually thought about implementing touch and mouse drag controls, but discarded the idea since it would've taken me too much time to implement well.
very nice game, took me a few seconds to realize what was going on. But very nice implementation of the theme.
I also like the balance where the speed picks up and slow down based on how good you're doing
well polished and executed.
Good job!
Thank you very much!
I'm glad that you found the speed balanced.
Simple and nice. Clean execution of a single mechanic. I like the balance on the raising speed. Good job!
Thank you!
Fun game with simple-yet-effective art, however i felt that there was too much of a delay between each dice roll so when it gets fast you sometimes cant get to the target dice. other than that i thought that it was a very well executed game
Thanks. It is intentional - you can always match the target in one rotation.
Game is really fun. My record is around 1800. I haven't encountered any bugs.
Good work 🙂
Thanks. Good try!
