How does your game fit the theme?
My interpretation of the theme was an industrial die - a tool used to cut or form a specific shape. You must create all the imprints, but the dies can only roll in one direction!

Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?

No

We used pre-existing art

Did your team create the vast majority of the music during the 48 hours?

Very clever concept ! I'm not a fan of those kind of games usually but I got hooked!

Incredibly clever idea and design! I very much enjoyed my time playing through to the end to see the different ways it would be expanded upon. Aside from what others have said that levels 4 and 5 should probably be switched, my only real comment is I want more levels, with how intricate the solutions became by level 6 I could only imagine how crazy they would get if you had different die designs (that either match to specific blocks, or that build on top of other die designs towards a target image similar to woodblock printing)

Amazing game!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah I agree there are lots of ways this idea could be extended.

Really interesting mechanic for a puzzle game! I think the puzzle design is actually amazing, I had a lot of fun figuring what way I had to stamp the things and in which order! Like a comment says - level 4 and 5 should be switched because level 4 uses a mechanic that level 5 just teaches you and I didn't know that you could do that, so it took me a long time to figure out level 4, but other than that the character and die feel great to control and the puzzles were very fun!

This was a really fun puzzler!  I loved the bridges, they were so coool.

After the first two levels, I was worried the mechanics here were overly simplistic, but having multiple levels with bridges created more possibilities, and the mechanic of being able to create a bridge by stamping a gap added a lot more depth to the game -- however, I do think that concept could have been introduced a bit better. Level 5 has a very clear setup for teaching the concept wordlessly -- you're on a small platform with the only real thing to do is to push the die forward and learn the mechanic -- so that setup probably should have been in level 4. But idk, maybe level 5 was initially first but you rearranged it because you thought it was a harder level. Anyway, level 6 was a pretty satisfying level that combined all the game's mechanics together!


Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I thought 5 was a bit harder than 4, and thought it might be fun to discover it in 4 without being forced - a bit of a gamble for sure :)

Clever puzzle design. Fun little experience :)

Amazing! The presentation is unfortunately lacking, but it get's the point across. The puzzles were really fun, I wish there was more. I got stuck on level 4 until I checked the comments.

Didn't thought of those dies. Great puzzle !

great puzzles again! i love level 6

Submitted(+1)

Isn't the order of level 4 and 5 backwards? Anyway nice short game!

Developer

You're right, I originally designed 5 to introduce the mechanic, then made 4 which I like better as an introduction and didn't bother remove the starting forced part of 5. Thanks!

My favorite game so  far! Great and clever puzzler. There were multiple "aha!" moments as I went through. Great job!

Developer

Thanks, that’s great to hear! :)
