I really like the concept and the art! :) One thing i would change is level 3 and the overall difficulty spike, since i feel like theres too many die and too many new mechanics for that early of a level. It honestly got me pretty overwhelmed @_@ Other than that, pretty good game with a unique concept! :)

Loved the art work and vibe this game gives off !! Good work all in all for a 48 hour game jam  :D

Really creative idea! I like the music and sound effects and the game felt pretty good to play! Not sure if I should comment on the difficulty since I'm bad at puzzle games and got stuck on level 3 lol

Developer

Well most people do take a little longer on level 3 and just in case you still want to give it another try, here's a hint I dropped earlier on in the comment section. "Just in case you're still stuck, I'm just going to drop a very minor hint here to level 3. The solution is way simpler than you think. That's why its so early, because its pretty simple once you figure it out. " Anyways, I appreciate you trying my game and I'm happy that you liked the overall feel.

Nice work, big brain game ! I didn't have the patience yo finish it but smart idea. (maybe the difficulty has to me reduced?)

Hey nice work! I really the lateral thinking puzzle aspect of this. The difficulty spike on level 4 was a bit much for me, but I enjoyed my time getting there. Great work releasing a genuinely creative idea on this jam!

A nice game with good mechanics and the puzzles were actually easy, but made me think a lot! Maybe because of my own game! That might be the reason! But I liked it!

BEST OF LUCK:)

Nice game mechanics, very creative! Level 3 got me to be honest, maybe the number of moves for this level is too low and requires only one (or few) way to solve it. With that much movements to play with, it really spikes the difficulty up.
Anyways, this is still a solid game! Congrats!

Just in case you're still stuck, I'm just going to drop a very minor hint here to level 3. The solution is way simpler than you think. That's why its so early, because its pretty simple once you figure it out. Thank you for trying my game anyways though and I'm happy to hear that you liked it, albeit the early difficulty.

I'm gonna try it again :D
Edit: Ok i just got it now, note to myself : Do not overthink.

Cool puzzle mechanics, level 3 shocked my system a bit! I didn't end up finishing the game, but I had fun with what I played!

Developer

Honestly, I would be surprised if anyone did completely finish the game. Based on my testing, it takes the average person between 30min-1 hr to play the full game, and I definitely wouldn't expect anyone to spend that much time on one game. Still happy that you gave it a try!

Fun and challenging game! The mechanics are great and very "dicey" the puzzles were amazing and enjoyable. Overall, I love it!

Submitted(+1)

nice game with unique concept!
i enjoyed playing it
however, lmao, the spike in perceived difficulty in lvl3 is a whole shock. 
i got stuck at level 10, so i can't review much about the levels afterwards, but the ones up to 10 were quite enjoyable once i got past lvl3.
if you want to continue developing this game, i suggest you add a couple of levels to help the player get comfortable with the mechanics of the game.
i would also recommend improving on your art. 
picking a limited colour palette with hue shifting for your art is imo a good way to achieve something that looks solid.
the symbols you used conveyed their actions well, but for me they sometimes looked quite similar, partially because of how small they were (in windowed mode).
all in all, for 50 hours you got quite a unique puzzle game with an admirable amount of levels.

One of the more interesting dice-related puzzle mechanics I've seen in this jam. Had a lot of fun with it and it didn't take very long to understand how everything works. That level 3 was brutal, but the ones I played after felt like a better progression going forward.

A fun puzzle game! Sound and art were neat, though the background with the falling pieces felt distracting, somehow it made me more tense while looking for solutions. Another minor thing that bothered me was that the first levels mostly felt like you just had to use the dice replace movement, then it got hard way too fast.

I love it!  Great little puzzler.  No notes, could probably ship tomorrow.

Like the puzzle! Hard mode was on. Great entry!

Submitted(+1)

This is super tough, wow! Or maybe I am thinking too hard about it. xD

I personally would've probably gone for some cleaner aesthetics, but it's nicely done and very challenging!
