I like how you focused on the rolling part instead of the randomness and dice rolling. Great game!

i really like how it was a turtle instead of a dice, very cool idea :D

To your credit- turtles are objectively better than dice (and I do agree made way more sense given the direction you took the game in- yah made a good game that's the important bit). Also "Roll of the turtle" would have been a much better jam theme anyway. 

Theme commentary aside, the game is really good!! As said- the turtle is super adorable, the puzzles are well designed- tricky but not impossible, the difficulty progression is nice, and its a good length too! I have no complaints, excellent game!!

Very fun little game. Love how the environments change.

Great difficulty progression. The game introduces new mechanics well and I like how it was short and simple so I could play to the end and was never tempted to skip any levels.

You fooled me! I thought for once I wouldn't play a die rolling puzzle when I clicked the thumbnail, but it turns out I still did!

Anyway, really cute game! I really liked how each level had its own visual style. Using a turtle as a die was a really neat idea to make the game feel more alive.

As usual, I am a bit torn on die rolling puzzles, as I find myself tending to solve them more by accident than by reasoning. Most of your levels avoided those pitfalls, but I thought there were a few that felt a bit too trial-and-error-y for my taste. Only disallowing one side was a nice touch, though. The additional elements were also nicely done and fitting.

I cannot blame you one bit for changing the die to a turtle, even if it loses out on the theme slightly. Lovely difficulty curve with some nice 'Aha' moments.  Can't stop playing!

This was my favorite variation of the "roll the die on the grid" style puzzle ive seen! The turtle is a refreshing sight after many D6's, and I liked all the different mechanics that were included.

Surprisingly tricky puzzling, lots of different mechanics, maybe not the closest adherer to the theme but very fun, cute and whimsical!

I started with a rolling die, which turned into "you shouldn't let one face get on top", which turned into "but why not turtles?"

Thanks for playing!
