dice burned, but the scene is still open. Very loud sound at the beginning, I almost lost hearing))

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing !

I think here the dice may be just at the blue checkpoint, but hidden by the bad camera angle...

I apologize if this is not what you wanted to hear but... Your game is the best I played in this jam for now. I mean, seriously. You sure did use outdated fonts and graphics, but THE GAMEPLAY!!! How did you even came up with this idea??? I didn't quite get that the floor was being "printed" on the die faces, but as soon as I realized it I was shocked. That's one of the most clever ideas I've seen.

 Congratulations on your full mark for your Creativity.
Keep up with your AMAZING ideas!

Thank you so much for this nice comment, we really appreciate it ! We will keep working on this game and hopefully release a full version !

I'll be honest with you, I've played a lot of "rotate to match the die face with the ground/the goal" games so far and yours is the best so far. Presentation is top notch (except for the music in the main menu lol). It's just too short! All the mechanics were introduced beautifully and then there were no puzzles with them.

Developer

Thank you for your nice comment ! We also feel like the game is too short, but we didn't have the time to do more. Hopefully we will keep working on it and release a full version with more complex levels ! Thanks for playing !

Really cool! and great step-by-step tutorial-like gameplay

Developer

Thanks a lot !

Wow, I love the concept! It's using the theme very well :) 

Small tips: using "WASD" for moving is a standard in video game! To have all your controls close to your hand, you could have used WASD for movement and Q/E to rotate the camera. :) 

Good job for your game!

Developer

Thank you for this nice comment !

 
Unefortunatly, we are from a country where keyboard are not QUERTY, and it's tedious for us when a game only use WASD because it should be ZQSD on our layout .  At least arrow keys are universal :) (But if we had more time we could have implemented a clean version where you can use wichever keyboard layout you want)

A really cool set of mechanics. As soon as I rolled over the first set of squares and saw them pasted onto my dice, I was intrigued. I would love to see this go further

Submitted(+1)

Bloxorz meets fireboy and watergirl(?) lol. would love to see this more fleshed out with more puzzles! Awesome concept! Would appreciate it if ya played and rated my game!

Submitted(+1)

I like the additional elements you added to the dice rolling like the fire and ice, good job!

Submitted(+1)

Nice idea, and interesting puzzles. Would love to see more levels as it has potential :)

Submitted(+1)

Great puzzle concept! The fact that you reset the dice at the start of the puzzle is a great idea, and I can see how you can expand this game a lot with more levels and interesting puzzle mechanics. The last puzzle gave me the feeling of "thinking outside the box" too.

Developer(+1)

Thank you, we are glad you like our game ! We'll keep working on it in the future to polish it and add more complex levels with new mechanics !

Submitted(+1)

a short but fun experience, felt the mechanics were well designed and the puzzles nicely balanced. left the game wishing there was a bit more which is always a good thing haha.

my only criticism is that the camera made it hard to see sometimes even when i'd try rotating everywhere with the camera angle and high walls.

Developer

Thank you for this nice comment, we're glad you like our game !

Yes the camera angle is sometimes not the best, we'll keep that in mind if we keep working on the game !

Good job. It's interesting that sides have not just numbers but also properties. And there is a visual bug, maybe for me only. When spikes are hiding it becomes very shiny, like white sun there and can be seen

Developer

Thank you for playing our game !

The bug is weird, we don't see it :/ But there are some weird things happening depending on the web browser... Sorry !

The art and music are excenllent!

I can see many mechanics in the game: fire, ice, falling plots, plots with numbers printed on the squares. I believe this game has great potential.

Good job!

Developer

Thank you for this nice comment ! Yes we had a lot of ideas for different mechanics, and we will definitely keep working on this game in the future !

Visually pleasing with satisfying cube rolling. Lovely!

Wow, thanks ! I love your youtube channel by the way :)

Nice game, very nice art and music. It is sometimes hard to solve and with every rotation the keys to move changes and that is sometimes not intuitive.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks !

We felt like it would have been less intuitive to not change the keys, as the view itself is changing. But it can be a little confusing !

Submitted(+2)

Super interesting game concept, I like the idea that the cube can change its properties.

The game has a lot of potentials :)

I really enjoyed it :)

well done

Developer

Really well executed concept! the camera sometimes takes a bit long to follow you, but appart from that i enjoyed it

Developer

Thank you for your nice comment !

Fun concept. Sadly, the dice moved incredibly slow and so did the camera making the time to complete a puzzle even after I knew the required dice path tedious. Also, the die kept disappearing at the end of what I think was the last bridge so I couldn't finish the game. Obviously, time constraints affect polish. I think the core premise of the game is strong enough that if movement is snappier and puzzles are made more complex it could be grown into a full fledged game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your comment ! 

Yes, the time limit was short, the game has only a few easy levels but in the future we will add some fun and complex puzzles. We didn't polish the game like we wanted, so there are still some issues left. We didn't realize the movements were slow, we'll keep that in mind for a future full release of this game ! 

Thanks for trying our game, we really appreciate it !
