I think you and I have a similar aesthetic preference ;)
Overall a nice addition to a classic formula with some excellent visuals
Good idea, and well presented, feels a lot like Baba Is You (a great way to score points with GMTK!).
You have some good ideas for additional mechanics too, like the ghosts who mimic your movements, and where the shape of the room restricts where you can roll. There are some good elements for puzzle design here.
I think the dice roll mechanic could have been executed better though, the dice don't behave the way they should when they are rolled. (eg, if you have a dice with 6 on the top and push it over twice in the same direction, then 6 should be on the bottom, so if you roll it twice again in any other direction 6 should be back on the top. This didn't happen in the game which means the player kind of has to roll the dice randomly around until it lands with the right side up. If the goal was for the dice to have random numbers when they are rolled this isn't really clear, and also makes solving puzzles very frustrating for the player.
I'd also take a look at how a dice is set up - ie, how each face connects (opposing sides on a conventional 6-sided die always add up to 7).
Good work, I hope you develop it further!
I can't quite tell if the dice is completely random – if so, I think it needs a little improvement to make lining it up with the goal more satisfying and predictable. I do really like the concept though, and there's a lot of potential nuances in the way it all works. Also, the main character is a really distinctive and cute design – love it!
Good job on making the game! I like the concept of combining a block pushing puzzle game with aligning the faces of the die. The only difficult thing is that matching the sides of the dies for stage 2 is a bit difficult since the goal blocks are at the end of an one block wide path way, which means that we would have to line up the die perfectly before we go it. And since I don't have the sides of the dice memorized, it was a bit tricky to line up the dice before going in. I also really like the art you have made for the game! The main characters sprite is very cute!
I was incredibly confused as to what I do. Is the dice random each time I roll it?
