I really liked this game, and it grew on me the more I played it! The music was good, the visual effects and models were great, the controls were intuitive!
I have a few small gripes with it: I found the recipe board to be frustrating, and I abandoned it very quickly. I also had some difficulty telling which icons were meant to correspond with which objects on the cube (particularly the various forms of green foliage). I'm not certain, but also think it was missing recipes: There was one level, in particular, with the pink trees, where I only saw two recipes that could effect the pink trees, but the level required you to use a recipe which was not present on the list. I also found the recipe list to be a little long, which added to the overwhelming feeling. I would suggest just doing away with the list entirely, and have learning and remembering the recipes be part of the built-in challenge of the game. If the recipe list were to remain, I would love to see: the list auto-update to only show recipes for the possible objects that will be on the cube for a given level, and the icons, or uniqueness of the models, be reworked a bit in a couple areas. I also wish that the correct solution required the objects to be placed in the area on the cube as shown in the picture (Placing two diagonally works, when the reference shows them placed vertical/horizontal)
I might be biased because I used to be a bit of a Rubik's Cube Fanatic, but I think this is my favourite game in the jam! I just started game dev this year, and since I've started, I've been trying to think of how I could make some sort of game centered around Rubik's cube mechanics: I'm so jealous of the idea, and the execution. I'm so interested to see if you build on this further. AWESOME GAME
