Very good puzzle game! I enjoyed my time trying to figure out how to solve each one. The difficulty was also very well made and kept me on my toes.

Developer

Thank you! :D

This game is great! Snappy and fun. I made it to floor nine but am going to have to come back as it's teasing my brain, lol. I can do it! I just might need some food first. Love the music and the art is fantastic. Awesome entry!

Thank you so much!! :D

I played this game the day it came out and I had no clue what was going on. It started on level 33 and there were just a bunch of red dice and nothing else and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to do anything.

I'm glad I came back. Although there's not any kind of tutorial, I've been able to figure out all the mechanics because the levels start simple and increase in difficulty over time. I had a great time playing and beat every level with the treasure chest.

One bug for ya - on level 10 the level is already solved when it loads in. And I would LOVE to see this game expanded more - with new levels full of new kinds of mechanics to spice things up.

Lol I uploaded a fix for level 10 and glad you gave it another chance -thank you for playing and for your kind words! :D

Aesthetics on point!

Pretty cool! The idea is nice and I think with some polish it could make for a decent game. Some quality of life features like having the fire not reject the dice but just exclude them etc, being able to directly swap one die for another, having the music not restart each level entry, something to spend the treasure on or some unlockables for collecting it etc. A little bit of narrative to build the story/world a bit and I could see it working out well. Nice job!

I should note though that I couldn't work out how to solve level 10. I can't figure it out or am missing something haha.

Developer

Thank you so much!  There was a lot I wanted to do but ran out of jam time xD .  I love some of those ideas though like swapping the dice but I prefer the fire to send back the dice as it requires more thinking ahead.   Thanks again for all your kind words and awesome feedback!! :D

I'm usually terrible at puzzle games, but I breezed through about the first half of the tower before I started to get stumped. There was a glitch with grabbing the dice that became pronounced while I was pecking away at one particular level...sometimes it would grab the die, sometimes it simply wouldn't, and other times it would grab it and then wig out. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the atmosphere! The music was catchy.

I also couldn't figure out how to get into the chests, so I just didn't even bother with them. Nice work though!

Developer(+1)

Awesome!   and I haven't been able to find that glitch -will watch for it though -thanks for letting me know!  :D

Good puzzle! Good atmosphere.

Overall, I felt that there was not much explanation. The first floor just ended abruptly as a result of random manipulation, so it took me a while to figure out what happened.

On floor 9, I noticed for the first time that I could place panels directly on the spider, but I eventually gave up because the spider would be hidden by the panels and every time I replaced the panel I placed on the flame switch, everything would reset. I was able to capture all the floors up to that point, including the treasure chests. It was fun!

Thank you!  Also thank you for letting me know about that!  got that issue fixed in the update ! :D
