For me, it wasn't as fun because usually after struggling to get the right face up (which was fun), I'd just have to wait for the right tile to come, manually getting to it would've been a lot more frustrating. I think maybe you could change it so that you just have to get on the right side up and the place wouldn't matter.

Thanks for playing! Sorry to hear you didn't have so much fun playing but I understand where you're coming from. We lost a day of work which made us flush for time and didn't let the mechanics fully develop. Alternatives, I'd thought of to resolve that issue was allowing the player to control the rotation speed of the wheels so they could more easily move forward if they have the die up on the right side. Regardless, thank you very much for playing and for the criticism!

What an interesting idea! Your game functions well and feels well put together. I found it to be challenging and fun to try to stop on the indicated section. Your physics also work well.

How was the jam? Did you enjoy yourselves?

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, we both had a ton of fun putting this together. We both went to school for game development and have been looking for a way to stretch our development muscles again, figured this jam was a good way to go about it. This was the first jam either of us had done and I have to say, for me at least, I will definitely be doing something like this again!

Thanks for the comment and appreciate the kind words.  It was a good jam, though ran into a few hiccups since I contracted an illness right as it started that I had to suffer through whilst developing. What can yah do lol. Look forward to participating in more jams in the future!
