super fun game, i loved trying to figure out how to move my die to get the right number to face up, may have been nice to have a bit of the third dimention in there to give me a bit more read of which numbers are where, but still fun

Pretty cool game mechanic!! I thought it was going to be a slow burn puzzler, turns out it's a quick thinking dice rolling action game!! Trying to visualise how to map the dice's face still boggles my mind, but the animation of the dice rolling sure does help. Well done on making the game! :D

Thanks! Sorry I can't play your game, but I can't download it.

As others have said this is a very inventive way to approach the concept. While other puzzlers have static levels this one has a constantly changing objective so you can't just keep rolling until you get it right through chance but rather by actually thinking about it and making routes to most effectively get as many numbers as you can at once.

Hit the nail on the theme, crushing saws feels satisfying too. Good work!

Cool concept and game.

I’ve seen this type of puzzle a few times now, but you’ve brought it up a level by forcing the player to constantly re-evaluate their next move with multiple numbers to track and deadly obstacles to dodge, well done!

Really inventive and unique concept! I feel like this type of game has heaps to teach the player with all of the different patterns available to hit the right number! But nothing quite hit the same high as hearing the game over sound! That was next level! Great work :O

It's a really fun idea ! It fits the theme absolutely perfectly ! 
It's just so hard to get the number you want...

That game over SFX though XD

Really fun game.  I actually learned some patterns to get the number I wanted which other games haven't been able to.

It took me a bit to get used to the controls but its was fun once I got it :)

I found a minor bug, if you roll on top of the saw then away when it is still visible you die, not sure if that was intended.

Good job!

Developer

Thank You! I wasn't aware of that bug, So thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I liked the concept and the presentation is really good.

Some audio effects felt a bit random tho (the game over one)

Overall I had a blast and the saws added the tension that makes the game a lot more fun to play, especially once you have saws with different numbers!

Developer

Thanks! The game over sound effect was random and out of place intentionally to add a sense of humor. And I'm glad you enjoyed the saws. I originally was going to cut them but when I figured out how fun it was to crush them, I decided to implement them more!

This is a simple game that is very fun once you can get hold of the mechanics!

It took me a while to visualise the dice, so the difficulty is a bit hard but that's fine!

Apart from that, awesome game!

Fun game! Took me a quite a while to get to understand the mechanics of the game but I managed to understand it quickly . Good job on your game :)

Neat little game! I suck at visualizing the dice in my head to make the correct movements, but it was fun nonetheless. The tutorial is well made, and great music selection. The death sound gave me a good chuckle.

Developer

Thanks! I was worried that it would be too difficult to wrap your head around the dice. And I'm glad you recognized the tutorial because it took way too long to make for what it is.

I have mastered the art of moving so randomly that all numbers all collected and all saws are destroyed. Goofy SFXs and decent idea, good work!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the Goofy Sound Effects, that's one of my favorite parts about it.

Really like the idea!

Was definitely hard at first but eventually I got to get used to how to roll the dice to get the number I needed 

Developer

Thank You! I'm glad you enjoyed it

This game is a great way to stimulate the brain. Really gotta think about how the dice moves and what numbers are where. 

The funny noise when you lose is funny.

Nice use of the theme! Really liked the real time aspect on top of the puzzle concept. Spent a while playing... 24300 high score.

Got into an issue where the saw is stuck under me, but it doesn't count as a squash. It's kinda on the corner and is bouncing back and forth. Also had one lucky encounter where the saw should've bounced off, but it decided it should be squashed instead 🤷‍♂️ I'll take it guess

Developer

Thank you! I was worried people would give up because it would be too difficult to understand, so I'm glad you stuck around long enough to get that high of a score.

I was aware of the corner bouncing glitch but couldn't find a fix. I figured it wasn't game breaking enough to stress myself out with solving it. However I've never encountered the one where you crushed it when it should have bounced. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)

Intresting idea, fits with the theme
