There really isn't anything to criticize. The visuals are appealing; the music is fun and bouncy; the gameplay is engaging, and the idea is completely unique and intelligible. This game was polished across all dimensions. The only thing I can think of is that it may not hit the theme completely but I'm uncertain. Sure, you've got a six-sided dice but then again the mathematical term and its solution could be interpreted as two sides. Anyway, this shouldn't concern you, your submission is of top quality, great job!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Hey mate. Some feedback:
- Your game doesn't fit the theme 2 sides! It fits the theme 6 sides! ( lmao )
- Love that your game is 1-bit too. 1 bit ftw.
- Once I got to a corner and couldn't move for some reason.
- I wish you'd increase my time by a bit more whenever I scored.
My high score:
Like Dow said, congrats on making a small math game fun.
That happened to me once but I couldn't recreate it so I don't know how to fix it. I guess I'll just do some more testing and debugging. I'm also going to change the player movement to be more optimized.
I made the movement quite a bit faster so I think that should help and I'm gonna make the win time a bit higher and I'm making it so you get extra score for the time left when you score so that could make it easier for new players and experienced players can play well and get to the harder part.
Great job with the gameplay. Short and sweet, and somehow made a small math game fun.

I personally like math, but I'm glad you enjoyed!
I love math, I think that's evidenced pretty well in our own game. With that said, it is incredibly hard to make a game where the 'fun' part is math.
You balanced it well.
Solid entry. Really well polished, and I really liked the art and music. I wasn't the best at this game lol, but the concept is pretty unique also.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Probably a strange remark, but such music interferes with thinking in logic games.
Good work overall!
If you want you can also rate our game. Hope you will enjoy it!
Most people seem to like the music, but if you don't you can mute audio on by going to the right in the menu.
This game was a lot of fun and well polished. I really dig the music.
I was contemplating a slow song vs a fast song but I decided because of the timer I'd do the fast music.
Very well made and polished. Good job!
Thanks!
Oh man, this game was fantastic! The graphics were top notch and the audio was surprisingly very fitting! I also loved how you managed to combine dread, dice as a mechanic, and two sides into one game!
I do feel like the time limit was a bit too fast, but then again, I can't do calculations quickly, so that's probably a me thing. I still had fun and played it a few times to try and get a good score, though!
Thanks! The timer starts at 20 seconds, them gets lower over time so I was hoping it'd start easy and get harder over time. I could make the timer to go down slower?
Might be good as a difficulty setting. I honestly can't tell if the current timer is alright or not because of how bad I am at quick math, haha.
Really good !
Thanks!
Fun Game But i am not good at Math XD
Please rate m game also
I rated yours. Thanks for the comment!
pretty fun and i like the pixel art.
nice game.
Nicely done.
The graphics fit and look good. Especially the cube animation looks fancy.
Interesting way to tackle the subject. Interpreting "two sides" as two sides of an equation.
The only weakness is that the cube animation sometimes takes too long. While that might be related to me calculating too slowly, I'll just blame that on you :D
Anyway, good work!
Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into making it faster! I'm glad you enjoyed.
I implemented the faster movement in the post-jam version and it feels a lot better, thanks for the advice!
