Good game. The rule where you have to get the side greater than or equal to the enemy side is a good idea. It allows for less frustration and a slower difficulty ramp than when you have to get a particular side every time. The presentation was good. I especially liked the cube explosion effect and screen shake.
I was confused when the levels looped around at the end and would have preferred if the game notified me I had finished all the levels.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! I understand that it can be confusing to loop at the end, I wanted to make a sort of a victory screen at the end of the 5 levels, but unfortunately I ran out of time.
Pretty cool! Another nice spin on the dice rolling "genre" - It's nice that I only have to be >= than the die I am rolling onto, it makes the challenge a little more manageable. The minimalist art and sfx also worked well, I liked the exploding VFX when you or an "enemy" die dies. I struggled a little with the orientation of the movement, but with a turn-based game that's manageable.
Thank you for your detailed feedback!
Simple but effective puzzle game! The visual and audio design is crisp, and the controls feel great. My only note is that I think it would be nice to have a camera rotation capability so that I can check all sides. I could easily envision this as an addicting mobile game!
Thank you for your feedback! The fact that the camera can't rotate was intented, it is a part of the challenge, but it could be an option for an easy mode like. Moreover, some people suggested me too that they see it as a mobile game, I will think about it.
A nice little puzzle game that's a unique perspective on the "rolling die" genre that seemed to develop in this jam! The puzzles feel nice and the music is very relaxing. Great job!
Thank you!
Nice job with this, the whole aesthetic looks cool (the shadows are a nice touch) and the music works well.
Found myself getting a bit confused with the controls sometimes, but WSAD on an isometric grid can sometimes do that. It also took a while to realise that it was the side of the die facing up when in the place of the target, and not the side facing up when next to the target (I think this was especially confusing at the start since sometimes it would work and you'd collect the target die by accident and then other times you'd die and have to restart).
Similarly I found that (since only 3 faces are visible) at times it'd just be guesswork trying to figure out which face would be on top after a move - if that face was previously not visible (basically remembering which face was where). This was originally a bit frustrating, but I got used to it after a while and it just became part of the challenge.
Overall though, this is a sweet and enjoyable game, so well done :-)
Thank you for your detailed feedback! The fact that you can see only 3 sides of the dice is wanted, it is part of the challenge. So I'm glad that you found it as challenge after continuing to play.
Nice entry, loved the relaxed aesthetic.
Thank you!
It's a cool idea, and the game is very relaxing. I think an undo button might be nice, as it was annoying to have to restart the whole level when I failed. Good work!
Thank you for your feedback! An undo button could be a nice addition for an esay mode, I will think about it.
Great presentation, and almost oddly relaxing. I could see myself playing this game to destress. However, I was a bit confused on whether I was eliminating dice based on the top-facing number I had when I attacked them from an adjacent spot, or the top-facing number I had on the spot they were occupying.
Thank you for your feedback! To answer to your question, it is this: "the top-facing number I had on the spot they were occupying.", indeed when you roll at the place of the red dice, your top-facing number has to be superior or equal to the red dice top side number. So before rolling to its place doesn't count, you need to anticipate your next top-facing number.
Interesting variation on the "match the face" style. Graphic is very clean, and the experience is fun.
Thank you for your comment!
VFX and the presentation were really nice. Good job!
Thank you!
Found you on gamejolt. This was a fun brain teaser of a game. Beautiful graphically and well animated but most importantly, fun to play. I would love to see this on the App or Play Store.
Thank you for the nice words on my game! Indeed, it could be also nice on mobile, I will think about it.
Graphicly it's great work, but it's kind of confosing with the controlls that are some times inverted because the camera is stuck in one angle but else it's a good game!
Thank you for your feedback! I understand that it can be a bit confusing sometimes, each input direction is influenced by the dice and not the camera.
What I liked:
Very visually pleasing game! Loved the dice explosion, we had similar ideas in that regard :D
The controls felt quite nice to use, and the game felt very responsive.
What could be worked on:
Being able to tell which die value I'll roll onto next would be useful instead of trying to remember what a die looked like. Possibly like a WASD on the screen with the next dies value for each direction visualized. I think that would help a lot!
Conceptually I feel like the idea is pretty simple and personally feel it's overdone. Perhaps thinking of more ways to put a twist on the actual concept would be cool!
Thank you for your detailed feedback! For the twists on the concept I agree, I had already some written, but I was running out of time, so I prefered to stay with the core gameplay.
I really liked the art style and the nice relaxing atmosphere. Good job making a polished game!
Thank you! I'm glad that you find my game polished!
This game is so pretty and relaxing, you nailed the aesthetic!
Thank you! I'm happy that you liked the aesthetic!
fun simple puzzle game with really nice looking art
Thank you for your comment!
Very simple and fun. Nice game!
Thank you!
Cool art, good music kinda laggy, levels a bit repetetive but still fun i like it
Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately the laggy feeling comes from the web version, the exe version is better in term of performance.
Like the visuals. I wish the controls were a bit more responsive.
Thank you for your feedback! For the controls, the exe version is more responsive than the web version.
I enjoyed this, it is well made and fun. It has some strategy to it which is nice
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad that you enjoyed my game!
