How does your game fit the theme?
The game incudes puzzles where the top of the dice neets to match with the tile shown. So you have to move the dice with controls! This makes the dice roll.

Looks great, plays great and is fun. Great job!
Thank you for your feedback! We are pleased that you enjoyed playing our game!
BEST OF LUCK
This is a nice game. It reminds me of Bloxorz from Coolmath and its a very cool concept having to think where to go next to pass through the tiles. Good job!
Great game! I enjoyed the tiles that made you land on a specific face, it added a lot of strategy to the game. I also like how the three sided tile makes you match up with it directly instead of just the face. Overall a great idea perfectly executed!
Very nice and well made! Feels great to play and the levels are fun! One of the best of this kind!
It's funny how our games are so similar, yet so different. Moving the dice feels very responsive and satisfying and the level design is very inspired.
I would have liked to have a way to know which face were on the left/right/up faces of the dice. It's sometimes hard to keep a mental image of the dice positioning.
But anyway, nice work !
Really good game! I played it up until the end and gotta say nice end credits and also the hint towards a new mechanic, the music was chill and the gameplay felt smooth, especially liked the animation for moving. Undo is a great feature too.
Not a hint, more like an unused mechanic I didn't use because of time constraints haha! Thanks for playing.
Cool mechanics and cool music. I enjoyed the gameplay
That's got some polish!
And I am also slowly getting better at dice-rolling puzzle games, the more of them I play, lol.
Cool game! It could definitely be expanded into a full release with more levels after the jam ends. Also, it'd be nice to see the other 4 sides of the dice while playing - maybe add a transparent cube projection to the top left of the screen to show all sides of the dice at once? Anyways, great entry overall.
Yup, just what I wanted to add. Thank you for your feedback!
Wow our games are almost exactly the same, except that yours is 2D instead of 3D. Your puzzle design is way better than mine, but your graphics could be improved a little bit. But great job!
Yup, graphics were quickly scrapped. Thanks for reviewing this little game, have a wonderful day my dear jammer!
while I have seen this same idea before, I think yours executes it the best out of all I've seen, the music is very chill and fits the game quite well, the animations and movements are smooth and the level design is smart, overall great job, I loved playing this game
Props for adding an undo button!
No problem! Such an essential feature.
Solid idea, very well executed concept.
It might need way to know what side of dice is where?? That is problem with many of these games, memorizing dice is hard. No other gripes.
I wonder how much time of went into designing puzzles. I was not able to break puzzles even if I tried. Those additional dot tiles are very well placed, keeping solving puzzles tight.
Not much sadly went into the puzzle design, but I did learn a lesson from my previous entry about puzzle design, and this game was kinda fun to design puzzles for anyway. Thank you for playing!
Surprised by that, would have thought there were much time dedicated for puzzles. They feel finished, not regular jam stuff.
The idea is thoroughly explored in this jam. Despite that, this particular implementation is highly polished and fun to play. The use of the numbered tiles as intermediary goal instead of a final one is also a clever mechanic that helps create virtual 'checkpoints' that can lead you to the solution easily. Good job on this one
Nice game! I've seen a few games with this mechanic now. But I think you've pulled it off very well. Good polish, and very clear. Love how there's a clear start and end to the game. And cute music in the end :)
Wow! For a 48 hour game jam, the level of polish in this game is amazing! While there are other games submitted with a similar puzzle concept, this one is easily the cream of the crop in terms of polish and fun.
One potential improvement could be to have an 'unfolded dice view' (i.e. showing a preview of the dice face you will have corresponding to the direction you move), but I understand if you feel that it might make the game too easy.
Your capsule art shows a turn tile and it's a shame that didn't make it in, but it's a good idea.
Art and polish, all very good and I like the sound and music, too.
Other dice rolling puzzlers have used a 45 degree perspective and this not using one does leave the player with less information, but also seems to make the visuals more clear. Still, I didn't really find myself struggling so maybe it's not needed.
Puzzles that involve rotating the cube into a particular configuration shouldn't generally have long runs like in level 2. It basically reduces to the puzzle shown below, but forces more button presses before trying solutions. Reducing the level sizes would focus the game on the fun part (trying to figure out the right move) and less the tedious part (testing the solution) while still teaching the player lessons like how to rotate a die given four spaces.
BTW, that was a super cute credits sequence. Loved it.
I was thinking of using isometric perspective, but I thought it'd be more confusing since you can't really tell which direction is up or down, however this somewhat reassured me that it could've been a good idea. Thanks for the review my dear friend. The long lanes weren't really added for the tedium more it was added to match sides correctly, in level 3 there's a long lane at the start because having the starting tile closer allowed for an exploit, frankly it could've just been fixed by being able to set default dice rotation and having one-way movement tiles, but I didn't have enough time.
I've played a few of these now, but this is probably the cleanest execution so far. It's hard enough to visualize your steps, so I appreciate the simpleness. Whether intended or not, the dots you have to match up feel more like hints instead of an hindrance. This is especially appreciated when rolling over longer tracks, where it becomes more difficult to remember exactly what side should be facing up at what tile. Good job!
Love this game, the audio is great. Really love it
Great job!
An Absolutely solid game
