Slick visuals! The animations look great too and love the format of different challenges presented on each side! The randomness aspect is used well here with the difficulty, my only suggestion would be to give the boss more telegraph time on the red whip attack, it felt like I barely had time to get in a single attack before I had to rush back out and have it hit me. Once it started the red whips before the previous attack even ended! I feel like that one is disproportionately more difficult than the other attacks. Otherwise this was quite enjoyable!

Really like the visuals! The game has a nice palette, and neat animations.
The global idea is cool. A dungeon with several mini-games on each face, it's pretty nice to explore. Unfortunately most of the challenge face the same issue: imprecise hit-box. :p I was frustrated a lot of time because I was hit by something that did'nt look that close, or because the range of my sword forced me to take a damage. Combined with the punishing difficulty, it makes the game a bit too challenging.
Also I didn't saw the difference made by the effects. Some way maybe too subtle. And most of the time I was focused on surviving anyway. There are also some rooms I didn't understood very well. Like the labyrinth with walls, or the one with the Operation room (I mean the goal is clear, but sometime one piece start next to the electric bar and is impossible to move, other time I got hit for apparently no reason). There's a lot of ideas, but some don't work really well with the rest and make the game more confusing. Since I died a lot, I didn't have time to familiarize myself with a particular room before having to learn a different one.
But the game was still nice to complete! I particularly appreciate that you can skip some rooms to only complete the one that seem managable. It was a fun dungeon to discover, quite challenging, but in the end still beatable. Good job!

Pachinko SuitesAn excellent entry, it was a pleasure to test. Very juicy, good art and sound design/music, and I liked each side of dice - except the one where you have to push items in their respective holls, which was a bit long and easily softlockable. But that is actually the only weak point I managed to find during my play test, and this isn't much. Conclusion: you guys submited a great entry :D

Evil DiceNice concept!
I like that there is some replayability in the game, and it won't be always the same things to do each time you play. It makes it way less painful to lose!
Also, I really like the aesthetic! The art is really nice and the music fit the action very well!
The challenges are all interesting and fun, except for the one with the walls and numbered buttons, I never understood how to go through the walls!
Also, the challenge with the objects to place in the correct spots can be a bit frustrating when the object don't go in the right direction.
Last thing, at first I did not understand that I needed to get a certain number to win, and I lost by clearing every room. Maybe you could make the number required a bit more obvious at the start of the game.
Good game overall, well done :)

Re[rol]loadThanks a lot for your very long review!!
We'll try to update the game in post jam to fix all theses issues.
For the room with wall, you need to enter it from the good side to press the buttons which will destroy the dominos that have the same number (we know it's not well explained at all, apologizes us...)
Thank you again for your review ^^
I quite liked the art and the concept. Walking on a dice is a really neat idea. Got frustrating at times with the room transitions.

Dice Loaded Audio GunReally great! The idea is very original and the amount of enemies and puzzles are really impressive.
I wasn't sure how to solve a few rooms, maybe a short explanation for certain rooms would help.
Good job!

Turning IslandsA wonderful style that I've not come across. Love that each side of the dice is like a level from a dungeon!
