Very unique use of theme. I love the dice weapon mechanic. I would be interested in seeing an expansion of this game with more levels, mechanics, and maybe enemies. Great job.

Dickie RollemNice game, the mechanic is worked out well enough, so that you sometimes need to think in different ways of using it, to solve the puzzles.
The art looks cute too!
Overall it's a good demo that you can build upon. Only thing that came across negatively is, that I managed to get stuck in walls, and also managed to completely go out of bounds.
At least there's a restart button : D

Frimbly and the Cave of WondersAn original take on the theme and a really unique idea, and I mean it, haven't seen anything close to similar among many entries I've seen. Right now it's very short and on the easier side, but the core mechanic is very thought out, which makes it enjoyable to figure the puzzles out. Overall a solid entry, you should consider building on it post-jam.

Roll or DieNeat concept!
What I liked?
- Clever usage of the Dice theme, each throw needs to be thought wisely, otherwise a crystal can be broken
- The graphic style is nice
- Breaking crates felt satisfying!
Other comments:
- The Roll SFX is a bit strange for my taste, it didn't feel quite right
Honestly great job! I saw that you felt de-motivated at a moment of the jam, but you can be proud of your work, I had fun!

Roll On Dice - Jam VersionI like how it's actually becomes sophisticated as you go along. The grenade is quite an interesting mechanic.

Roll RacerShort and sweet game! Maybe my favorite puzzle game of the jam, it's clever but not overly complicated, and I really dig the color palette : it was a lot of fun to play, congratulation!

Untitled Dice GameWow this is a very creative puzzle game. I love that you basically only have one mechanic, but it's implemented creatively in all levels. I wish there were only more levels, but I understand that because of the time constraint of the jam. At first I had trouble understanding how the mechanics of the game worked. In the first level, I was standing in front of a box and wanted to roll the dice. But then I understood relatively quickly that you have to position yourself correctly. Maybe it would have been better to show in the tutorial where you have to stand to understand how the mechanics work. Despite that, i think this is a amazing submission. Really great job!

Dice GunThis was very well designed ! sort of Bomberman turned into a puzzle game. Really liked the challenge presented on the last level, took me a few moments of pause to see on how to solve it, and after it clicked, it felt very satisfying !
Congrats on finishing the jam !

Simple Ogre LuckA puzzle game I can get behind! I really enjoyed playing this kind of games. You could really evolve this game after the game jam and probably get a lot of puzzle fans into it! 3/4/5
Stay crunchy.

Coastguard Radar - HuntVery fun! I love the basic mechanic and I could tell that we were just beginning to see your puzzle design come alive there on the last one. I absolutely would play more levels of this game!
I honestly would appreciate your feedback on my game just because I was impressed by your attention to detail so much!

Snake Eyes (Try Your Luck)Really neat concept and great execution! The game really uses the dice theme well without involving any kind of randomness which was cool to see. Could definitely do with some more challenging puzzles - only the last two levels really had much challenge, but obviously as a game jam game time is limited. Visuals and sound a great too!

Pip-SqueakCool game! I liked the idea that the explosions grow with how far they go. I could totally see more puzzles being introduced with a bunch of different mechanics. I think the controls were a bit weird, involving both the arrow keys and WASD. Maybe you could have it be like holding will enter firing mode, and then aim, and releasing will shoot the bomb? (You could add an indicator then too!) Great work overall!

Out of PocketGreat job with the puzzle designs! To me, it felt like they hit the sweet spot of difficulty. The puzzles were challenging enough that I experienced the "a-ha!" moment a few times when I found the solution, but not too challenging - I never felt like I was completely stuck. I think I was stuck the longest on the 1st level, when I was still figuring out how the dice grenade worked haha!
The puzzle mechanic itself was unique and creative. I had fun playing! Great job with this!
