Very well made game. It's fun when the solution falls into my lap, which happened often in the early levels since my choices were limited, but finding that solution comes down to a lucky guess (a roll of the dice if you will) when the possibility space branches just a couple of times. The gameplay is essentially trial and error because it's not feasible to plan more than 1 step ahead. I don't feel like I have the ability to find the solution through thinking alone.

The sound effects add a nice emphasis to the steps. Makes me wonder if there are more "mnemonic" melodies or rhythms that can be associated with each number. Not explicitly suggesting this but an anecdote that comes to mind is the idea of rhythmic solfege, which associates different sequences of syllables with different rhythms (say "ta-ki-ta" for triplets or "ta-ka-di-mi" for a group of 4 notes, etc.) A melodic approach might be:

1. root
2. root-fifth
3. root-third-fifth
4. root-third-fifth-octave, etc.

Or maybe there is a pre-programmed song in the steps and the player essentially controls the pacing of it through the act of walking to the goal, which would add some tension and release to the gameplay, increasing the satisfaction of reaching the goal. Anyway, neat submission.

This is exactly the sort of game that I was hoping for when I read that the theme was "roll of the dice"! I love puzzle games where you have to figure out routings and there's modifiers to movements/placements so you can't just trace the easiest path all the time; the use of the faces for the number of tiles moved was wonderful because of how easy it communicates that important bit of information within the game instead of needing a tutorial! Most of my complaints are regarding it being too short (when I beat the last level I just sat still for a few seconds, going, "Wait... that's it? NO! I wanted more! q-q"), the first few levels being a bit too simplistic even for tutorial levels (but I'm an old grognard and comparing to when I was a kid, not kids nowadays, so may be being too harsh there?), and that the tiles/pads that modify distances don't have any visual differentiation other than just the + or - beside a number; some way to tell them apart more easily visually would be appreciated, with a mono-colour scheme like currently exists being something used in a challenge mode perhaps?

I absolutely LOVED that you could finish some levels without using all the pads, too, so while some were "figure out the exact pattern you need to move in", others were, "try to find the solution on your own", so it never got stale and always felt fresh changing between the map types. I also really liked the harp-like sounds used when moving, and how each face had subtly different notes from each other, too. Just all in all, very fun. I really hope you decide to take this game and fiddle with the visuals some, make it more your own thing, and expand on it greatly!

Clever and fun!

I enjoyed the visuals, although I think that some sort of more stylized... style might've worked better [perhaps using a sort of cell-shaded shader] as the textures did look a little cheap. I enjoyed the notes that played when the dice rolled, although I think that sometimes the note was double played when dying, which was a bit jarring. The UI was simple, but quite effective, I liked that you had scaling for different resolutions and a fullscreen option - just some good ol' QOL features, which are often missing from gamejam submissions.
The main mechanic was clever and quite intuitive, and I enjoyed the puzzles, however I often had to resort to just guessing, as I often just didn't know what side I would land on because I don't have the numbers on a dice memorised; perhaps allowing the player to rotate the camera, or to have a floating cube model which you can rotate and look at all the different sides without having to guess would greatly improve this game's fun factor as it would allow for the player to actually thinking about their movements. Regarding the difficulty curve, it felt like lvl 3 should've probably been the final level, as, at least to me, it seemed like the toughest one with a lot of ways to fail and it and it also felt quite unique and different from the other levels, with it being so compact. I did also feel a little cheated when I worked out a solution and ended up not using half the addition/subtraction pads, although I do understand that they server a purpose as just showing only the needed pads would make the solution quite obvious - a not so easy solution to implement would be to focus more on non-pad levels and just designing the tiles in a more tight way, but I do understand that that is easier said than done.

Overall I really enjoyed this! Thanks for making this, and good luck on the jam, I hope you get somewhere high!

Pretty cool gimmick, all things considered. I may have stumbled onto the solution after just guessing random directions and hoping it worked, but this is still a pretty fun puzzle game.
