Interesting concept. It would be nice to have some grid lines for the more open spaces, and the addition of some background music could help set the atmosphere. The nice sound feedback from the dice makes it really satisfying when you roll it around in loops to get the right number.
I liked the concept, but I wish it was easier to figure out what the other sides of the die are... since the controls are mouse based, maybe you could display stuff when you click on or hover over the die or something? Definitely an annoying problem to solve, my team's submission was a top-down 2D dice roller puzzle game too.
Really liked the idea and game! One thing though is that it can be hard to tell where your die will end up when planning out a stage because the background is solid grey. Maybe add a grid, or a grid option?
Very unique game, still confused how I solved some of the puzzles but it was fun. Music would be nice, and some way to know what's coming up on the dice, but other than that incredibly solid game!
I never seen a game like this in this jam before! Well done!
Psst! Check out my game: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1613573
Love how you made the player program the directions instead of controlling the dice directly, really sets the game apart from the rest of the entries with a similar mechanic.
Definitely a unique take on the theme.
Fun little puzzle game! Music would be nice, and I think a way to see what move was coming next would be nice. The game is a lot of trial and error unless I am missing something.
Fun little puzzle game. Would love added music. Good job.
Neat game and I liked the concept. Got a little confused sometimes about what sides of the dice were what and that made it quite challenging!
We actually made quite a similar game too haha!

Indicators would be great as i cant tell what I get when i move.
This game has a great simplicity to it that makes puzzle chill and fun to solve. Nice stuff!
This idea is fantastic, it would be helpful to have some sort of reference dice so its not just trial and error. Please finish this game it's awesome.
It's way too hard to beat the levels, since I can't tell what I'll get when I move.
Wow, such a simple game and look how much fun this is! I love these types of games. A great fit for the theme and a super enjoying experience! I hope you continue work on this game and add some music and polish! The only thing I don't love is that it's a bit of a learning curve trying to place the dice in 3D and think about which side is where and what the orientation is. But I don't have a great solution for that.
Cool game. While playing this game I felt just like when I was creating levels for mine ^^
Nice! Here's some feedback on your game:
🎮 Gameplay:
- The current indicator on the dice is not enough for me to actually plan out what I'm doing - it feels arbitrary
- Would have loved a go back 1 move button
🎨 Design:
- Took me a WHILE to realize I was able to put the arrows onto the screen, indicating that in some way in the game instead of just in the description would be great!
Hope this helps! :D
Middle click gives you undo
Would have loved to see that either in the description or somewhere in the game, preferably in the game :)
Interesting take on the theme and fun but challenging puzzles.
Very simple mechanics, with quite challenging puzzles.
Quite fun.
