The difficulty curve was nice, though I found the multiple blocks that can be deactivate a huge difficulty spike (in a good way, I think). The only thing that bothered me, was the fact that I was constantly somehow programmed to step on a plate with corresponding number instead of it being on the top (don't know why, it's a subjective thing though, objectively this game is really cool puzzle ;))
My game uses a similar idea, and even has clouds on the background, too :D
Fun game. Nice level design, although sometimes you get lost and start brute-forcing the solution by randomly running around. Interesting cube coloring mechanics, forces you to move a bit more carefully. The cube’s center seems to always stay at the same height which make the cube’s edge go through the ground when it rotates, - not a huge problem, of course, just a small visual quirk. The UI style feels like it doesn’t match the game’s visuals, although that might be just me :)
Anyways, nice game, good job! Consider trying my game if you want.
Right on. This has a good mix of challenge and relaxing vibes. Had a lot of fun playing this and played it for a good deal more time than I originally planned.
Well since this is the first submission I'm trying it seems like a creative idea to me 😅
The inclusion of a normal/hard mode felt great to me having to admit my gamer skills weren't enough to have me wanting to think once I got to I think level 5 then switching to normal.

I understand how common this idea was implemented in several games, since it was also my first idea that came to mind when finding out about the theme, but decided to drop it due to predicting how common it would be. Still, I like your game due to simplicity and the sounds & music, especially when the level is completed.
My game had the same idea as yours, but yours seems a lot more polished.
But since we basically had the same idea, I'm curious about how you went about the level design. I tried to design my puzzles such that each puzzle only taught one idea, which could be used in future puzzles.
I wanted to introduce a mechanic and give the player a few levels to try it out and get the hang of it. I then add a new feature and continue doing that. Some levels are just stupid easy simply to teach a new mechanic. There are 12 levels in total and this is the layout:
1 - core game
2 - core game
3 - multiple tiles (easy)
4 - multiple tiles (medium)
5 - multiple tiles (hard)
6 - colored dice tutorial
7 - colored dice (easy)
8 - colored dice (medium)
9 - colored dice (hard)
10 - mix of all game mechanics so far (medium)
11 - teleporter tutorial (easy)
12 - teleporter (medium)
While designing levels, I would play them multiple times to get a feel for how hard they were. If I felt the level was too easy, I made the level even easier to avoid frustration. I could have made more levels, but I felt like 12 was plenty for a game jam game.
Hope this helps and is the info you are looking for. Thanks you so much for playing!
Feel like there should have been more mechanics/gameplay features, but the presentation was pretty good!
Simple and polished game but I saw many games with same concept It can be better to add some different mechanics Nice work ! ^^
In later stages I add a color mechanic and multiple tiles that can be turned back off. I even have teleporters on the last two stages. I tried to slowly introduce the new features to not overwhelm players, but I might not have introduced them fast enough. Thanks so much for the feedback and for playing!
simple relaxing roll the dice game, took the theme literally just like me
