It's a really well done puzzle game. All the solutions were very clever, even if it had me stuck on the last level for an hour. Really impressive that you got this much content in within the 2 days, really good work!
I haven't figured out the second-to-last level yet, but it's good!
Also I think "dice" is singular is British English, whereas "die" is supposed to be the singular in American English, but I've been saying "dice" anyways (even though I'm American).
Such simple idea executed so well! With relaxing music and clean design. The top levels were satisfying puzzling.
Solid puzzle design and great presentation make this one of the top entries. The last levels kept me thinking for quite a while and had nice a-ha moments. Great job!
Great puzzles and presentation! Amazing work!
Had a lot of fun with this one. Very well done!
Loved the simplistic art style and the puzzle aspect of the game. Great entry!!
YUMMY PUZZLE! wow the game feel is on point
the mechanic is smart and the puzzles are well designed, Amazing entry!
Thanks a lot! I'll check your game out tonight.
very solid game!! I loved how smooth the screenshake was. it was my favorite part for some reason lol. as for the puzzles, they are well designed. only thing i would say needs work is the art. just pick out a palette on lospec or something if you are stuck and i promise you it will improve your art 100x - colors are so important
Hey man thanks! We did start with a palette of 5 colors from colormind, but then kept adding colors because it was difficult to differentiate between the puzzle elements. Now it's probably a bit all over the place. You are right, artwork is my weakest link right now.
very fun! interesting twist, and it's more like one of those math/flash games than a game jam one.
Is that a good or a bad thing? 😅
a good thing, it looks so polished
Thanks, appreciate it!
Nice game! I spend so much time thinking how to win last two levels.
It's probably just me but i was distracted from time to time with a thought of why in this cube world the player is a ball. :D
Keep up a good work!
only to make the "dice'n'sphere" pun
Guilty as charged 🧑⚖️
A good puzzle game with dices. I haven't encountered any gamebreaking bugs, belive in yourselves. If I had to point something out that should be improved - the look and feel is a little bit rough. Having said that, it's so subtle that I can't put my finger on it right now.
very well made and polished game, loved every aspect of it, music , animations, puzzles ,those quotes are also nice way of mocking player and in starting levels i think quotes were used as tutorial and I dont know how to do that last level , tried for half hour got frustrated
Thanks for checking it out! The final levels are really difficult, a lot of playtesters had issues with them, don't feel bad!
Wow, i've seen many puzzle games in this jam but this one is the greatest one and i love the style !
Thanks a lot!
Best game I've come across out of the 60 something I've rated, mostly focusing on puzzle games
Thank you! What other Sokoban style games did you come across? The most similar I found so far was this: https://mrld.itch.io/pip (It's also really nice, check it out)
I liked this one: https://foxtrot-roger.itch.io/rollypolly
also came across this one: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1618577 but this one didn't work out as well imo,
they're only loosely sokoban like but I've been playing all the die rolling games I see
Nice stuff, got up to level 14. I like the take on dice + Sokoban. I like the little dice facts.
Coming from a puzzlescript background the input took me a bit to get used to because there's no hold to move, and I didn't even check for undo other than 'z' (whoops).
Great pun name.
Haha, we actually had hold to move in the game, but it created issues when pushing dice through modifiers, and I never got around to fix them. Thanks for checking our game out!
Really cool puzzle game, I love it!
Thank you!
So nice :D I enjoy simple puzzle games like this where the goal is very obvious and deceptively easy to achieve. I so wish the dice rolled so that it would be a like a visual gag take on the theme but in my head cannon they are rolling them :D Nicely done
Thank you! It's the player - a sphere - that is doing the rolling.
I really really enjoyed this! I definitely spent more time playing this than any other jam game so far. Simple puzzle concept but taken to a great degree. The mechanics make intuitive sense and you make great puzzles out of it (couldnt do the last 2/gave up haha). The music gave a great atmosphere with the SFX and I absolutely loved the little dice facts too haha The overall juice was great too. Awesome job!
Thanks a lot! The final levels are very hard, a lot of people had issues there. Maybe I should make a video walkthrough haha
This was fun! I'm can't believe how juicy you were able to make a puzzle game! I did think that some of the later levels were a bit hard, but I didn't mind it that much. (Oh, and the trivia was cool too!)
