Probably my favorite game of this jam so far! Although it took a little bit to figure out, once I got into a flow I was hooked. It's unfortunate that the itch download doesn't work and I hope the game still gets the recognition it deserves.

I struggled a little with how to handle this. When you jump into the slot the number on the top of the die needs to match the number in the slot. Originally I had it so it would actually need to match the number on the back of the die, since rolling forward would change that number to the top, but it was too hard to play because the user would need to keep track of which number was in that position. If this were a 3D game, or even a 2.5D game, where you could see the back of the die at all times it would have worked better that way, but because it was top down 2D game it was just too difficult to play in that configuration.
I appreciate you giving it a try though. This was really just a learning experience for me. I've been a developer for a long time, but have never really done games. (well not in 20+ years) I thought this would be something fun to try. I'm mad at myself for screwing up the upload, but after a night with very little sleep and two very long days mistakes were bound to happen.

oh well, with the original being completely unplayable I might as well be disqualified anyway. 😕

Yeah as mentioned this was my first Unity game so I didn't realize I needed the whole folder. I should have tested the download but it was the middle of the night and I was tired. I uploaded a complete copy here if you want to play...
