Pretty fun :) 

Submitted

That's a pretty fun game!
It's a puzzle that doesn't require us to find the very best answer, so I don't feel too dumb while playing it haha
Good job!

Submitted

very cool game, tho I really bad at puzzles :D
really good art and gameplay is fun :D

Submitted

this is awesome!! love that you could strategically move a dice so you could move more

Submitted

I love these kinds of puzzel games. The dice mechanic that controls the nuber of moves the next dice has to take was really clever:)

Submitted

It looks really interesting but doesn't work on my browser :/

Developer

It doesn't work on my Mac, also :(. Works on chrome/windows pretty well.  Something between Unity and these screens. Sorry for not getting to test it enough in these 48 hours. 

Submitted

No problem 48h is really short ^^

Submitted

This was really interesting; having two dice adds so much to the possibilities. I had a lot of trouble figuring out what the next number was going to be (though I see in your comments below that I could have pressed Q and E to see the sides; that's what I get for not reading the instructions well enough!).

And I have to add: this game looks incredible, presentation-wise. Very nicely done.

Submitted

It's mind boggling that you managed to make this in a game jam. Very well done!

God tier presentation, nice job. The game itself is pretty clever, I like how we had similar thoughts on how to fit "roll the dice" to our games xD congratulations for the submission, I would love to see it further improved with more mechanics, items, and maybe even a coop online multiplayer support! Can you imagine how awesome that would be? 

Developer

Thank you for the great comments!
Actually, you can press Q and E to see sides (and  then do the maths for 2 sides that you cannot see, as opposite sides always add up to 7),

Submitted

yeah, Im so sorry, I missed the instructions about Q and E, I instinctively tried clicking and dragging, also tried arrow keys.

Submitted

Really great Idea! And new mechanics are introduced really seamlessly so that you instantly understand them :D

Submitted

Great work. Game feel was pretty slick all the way through

Submitted

Solid mechanics and juicy game feel, well done and fun

Submitted

I really like the style for the logo. The camera motions and game shakes and everything are great. The game has a ton of game juice! The textures and crisp and nice.  Amazing job for a first jam game :)

Submitted

You've found a really fun and unique idea for this jam, very enjoyable, nice job!

Submitted

Great mechanic and excellent presentation!   My only complaint is not being able to see all the faces of the dice making the later holes more challenging than they should be. Allowing the player some control over the camera would alleviate that issue.  So much fun to play! Amazing work with this :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks. Not being able to completely rotate the camera is on purpose. You can use Q and E to see the sides, so you have to calculate what you cannot see (opposite sides of any dice always add up to 7) Thanks for the nice comments!

Submitted

Ahh got it! Sorry, I missed that part in the tutorial. I must allocate more stat points into reading comprehension and short term memory :)

Submitted

Really fun to play with a cool concept, feels polished and was easy to pick up. Nice job!

Submitted

Very enjoyable puzzle game with beautiful sounds and UI

Submitted

I love golf games :) Great main mechanic that adds a lot of depth, and great VFX too. Awesome

Submitted(+1)

I like the sounds a lot. However, I don't really understand how it is determined who gets to roll the long dice.

Developer

The number that is up on the blue dice tells you how much you get to roll the red one, and vice versa
Thanks for the comments ❤

Great and intelligent game! :)
