Have a lot of fun with this kind of puzzle, you cant dash mindlessly but you dont have to hit all the enemies either, its just an extra reward, love it. I suggest add a time limit for certain stage too, so player cant just slowly dash with the number 1 dice value.
The whole presentation is slick & simple too, really cool entry, nice job!
The aesthetic, the game play , the strategy required to solve /100% stages. This is pretty much a perfect entry for this Jam! Great job!
The dash changes everything!
I've seen multiple games on the jam where the distance of your move is defined by the value of the dice, all of them were, obviously, puzzles and I liked them. But what botherd me with that idea was how unintuitive the puzzles were, at times it felt like you're just doing random actions until the proper result would come and I didn't really know how to solve this issue from game design standpoint.
Well, you did it! It finally feels like I am playing a puzzle game made for humans, not robots. Another popular puzzle idea was rolling the die to get the right value on the right square of the grid. It was arguably even more unintuitive, then the first one. Yet by combining the two ideas you have pretty much took the best from both words, the player still has access to convinient roll movement, and if you want to use dash you have to place the die on the proper side, solving mini puzzle in the process.
Two movement mechanics are beautifully tied together. This is a game design gem!
The best implementation of both ideas and one of the best games I've seen on the jam, if not the absolute best. Great job!
Thank you for the in-depth analysis, and I'm glad you enjoyed playing our game!
100/100
this game is AWESOME!!!!
I played 10 LVL-s and that was so enjoyable
art best
music best
mechanics best
i love the art style that reminds me ps1 console. very nice and smooth gameplay and I liked all 12 levels. one of my best experiences in the GMTK. I'm sure you will be one of chosen. i also will be happy if you play and review my little game too.
nice and clever little game. the dash mechanic makes it stand out from all the other dice rolling games, the juicy sound effects are also really well done.
good job!
Clever concept for a puzzle game and good use of the theme. I liked the variety of levels and the extra challenge of eliminating the enemies. Enjoyed the retro visuals, music and sound effects.
Really enjoyable puzzler with good music and very nice art-style! 4/5/5
Stay crunchy.
The idea and concept are really cool and for a jam game, it's really impressive. Nice job!
Very cool game!! The dashing is a creative way to dice, and that really makes it unique from the other dice turning games. Has good potential
I really wasn't expecting that, I love that it's about sliding and taking out the enemies. Of the dice rollers I've played so far, this one has been the best game.

Gameplay mechanic was really clever! Really enjoyed the accompanying level design as well. Really easy to understand.
Would love to play a full version of this or speedrun my old times. It would be cool to see a "number of times rolled" with each level in addition to the time.
a very sweet and unique puzzler! Reminds me of some of the unique weird puzzle games on ps1, like kula world and intelligent qube. very nice!! : ]
Surprised to see a 3D game, reminds me a bit of PS1 games
as long as it's been since I played any...The perspective confused me a little at times, but I had fun~
Even if I threw myself off the edge half the time XD
Very interesting idea! the keys felt a little sticky at times but overall was super cool. I found the blurry graphics a little hard on the eyes but still looked nice. Great job
Loved the graphics, the idea is very unique, once you figure it out, super fun to play!
One of the most fun games I've played! the mechanic is so simple yet super well executed, My favorite part was level 10 where you could do a combo kill of 3 enemies using a 6 boost, it felt really satisfying and was set up greatly.
Good job!
Love this! Satisfying blend of puzzle and action. And I really love the retro vhs type aesthetic
This is pretty awesome, I love the low fi polygon aesthetic and it works so well visually, and you have music and sound to top it off. The only thing that confused me was how the dashing worked, sometimes I would dash far and sometimes only a short distance. But overall well done, loved playing.
A simple and fun little game, I really like the PS1-esque 3D design.
The dash cooldown was a nice touch, lots of tense moment when the enemies are near.
Congrats on finishing the jam !
