Really amazing game design, I played the game all the way to the end. The gameplay was fast-paced and I was engaged the entire time; it really is a work of art. The visuals were also super well done. My only critique is that I thought only the red dice could be fed into the furnaces because of the colors, so maybe making them a little more different would be better. Overall a really great submission!

I believe this is one of the best-designed games I have played in the Jam so far.

Roll With It!Wonderful theming, interesting mechanics, overall really well done. Would have liked the gameplay to get mixed up as it went long, but it is a jam and you can only do so much.

Roll of the SamuraiVery chill game. Are the game moments scripted or did everyone die because I was bad???

Keep it Rollin'Loved the art. The gameplay reminds me a bit of dicey dungeon with the swap increase and split effects

Fudge The DiceGreat game, lovely visual, very enjoyable. If I had to find issues it would most likely be the lack of feedback when picking up a die and maybe not knowing the rules on respawning dies.

A Plate To RememberGreat atmosphere! I think you can start with the harder challenges (=2, etc) earlier, the first 3 minutes weren't very interesting. Once it picks up and you need to start using the tools, it's quite fun! Nice job :)

Jamba JumbleThe game has really good balance of relaxing atmosphere and time pressure to keep me playing quite some time. The art is beautiful and the game mechanics is easy to understand, but at the same time it makes you feel smart when you change values on the dice. Also the visualization of how far you are to losing is simple but effective. And occasional "cutscenes" makes the game not just about putting cubes to some slots, but they add depth to the game.
