Congratulations on your game  Maverick, I had a very enjoyable and inmersive experience. I could feel the anxiety every time the train was about to burn. This game has a lot of charm. I was surprised that I found the gameplay very similar to my game even though the styles are completely different. Great job, keep it up friend.

Nice take on the theme, I like the way the difficulty ramps up. The visuals are stunning!! That in combo with the music makes this a gorgeous experience to play :))

Really fun concept, gets tricky at the end!

Wow.  This game has a great art style, and it is a very cool concept.

It took me a while to understand how to the fire and movement system was affected by the dice.  But once I figured it out I started to really enjoy the game.

I love the visuals and just the atmosphere of this game, though the gameplay was not what I expected it still felt fun and surprisingly challenging! I would recommend that you add a simple tutorial to explain the mechanics a little better because at first they are a bit confusing. Overall great entry and I hope to see you next jam!

Looks great, plays nice. Great game!

Such a nice looking, polished game. The concept was really good and it was a good challenge trying to balance out the dice. Awesome!

You definitely nailed the art, this is pretty much perfect in that department. I was a bit lost at first with the gameplay but then I quickly got it. It's a maths puzzle!

Submitted

Love it. I think you nailed the atmosphere and art.

Very nice art and gameplay!

Nice art, I like how it starts simple, and gets complicated quickly
