I really, really like the puzzles here! It's all executed very nicely, and under any other circumstances it would have been 5/5/5 for me. However, I think the connection to the theme is a bit loose to justify such a high rating. As a standalone game though, it's great, so good job :D

Incredibly clever puzzler. Great amount of variety in the environmental hazards and felt very rewarding to play. Excellent work!

WovenguardA really cute and nice game.
I think the biggest compliment I can say that it is probably the most intuitive game I played the whole jam, the visual language is top notch! i didn't even stopped for a moment and thought what a thing is goanna do in the game which is super important in a puzzle game.

Dicey situationvery nice.
The only thing missing is more levels.

roll of the survive - 48h game jamOh man, this is exactly my sort of puzzle game. I love the working out how each new mechanic works, and the ease at which you can restart levels means you can experiment with ease.
Love the general vibe, both the sound effects and music mesh well for a relaxing puzzle-solving experience.
I'd prefer if the puzzle configuration didn't reset whenever I reset the puzzle, so I can iterate on my solving process without having to set-up my last solution again!

Roll for SafetyReally neat idea! It would be really cool to actually make the islands have 6 sides and perhaps make the challenge 3D? I can see it now, and it could probably be made into a full game! Great effort.

Snake Eyes (Try Your Luck)Really cool puzzle game!
The presentation is really good and honestly it is just fun to play!

Snakes and CheatersSuper tricky puzzle game. There were a lot of red herrings here that made it tricky to sift through the visual noise, and the different objects could have been introduced more gradually (I still don't really know what some of them do), but with a few more tutorial levels I think that'd be easy enough to fix. Very well polished and thought out, though. Great work!

Dice to Meet YouShort and sweet!
With more work on the current levels and new ones, it could be a very nice puzzle game.

Untitled Dice GameVery Juicy!
Path puzzles are one of my favorites and this one is very nicely done. It could've been better if the functions of the different blocks were stated right away.
Anyways, good game! Cheers!
