Clean idea from the theme and implemented beautifully. Love the visual simplicity and clarity, great feedback on input. Tough puzzles for sure, but made it all the more satisfying when managing them

Thank you for putting in a level that forced me to go over the red squares - I thought they were immediate failures for a while haha. Very well put together :)

Damn this concept is very simple but so so clever and amazingly well executed, exaclty what you want from a puzzle game!!! The amount of creative challanges you were able to produce is also very impressive and I love that it also lends itself to so many possible solutions to basically every level.

Just amazing work, well done! :D

the idea is well-polished! I love that fact that all possible movements are highlighted (unlike the vast majority other projects), therefore, the UX is amazing!

Nice job!

Nice idea and a well-realized concept. Puzzles get really tricky really fast. I like the relaxing atmosphere. Great job!

Nicely done! I loved how many ways there are to solve a single puzzle, it really gets your brain juices flowing. The audio feedback was also pretty satisfying to hear.

Great job!

The puzzle game is really great and tricky. I usually go around the green box a couple times to get to the right number. I would like to see the dice be more random instead of from 1 to 6 (maybe that is how the game should be because it's a perfect dice). Overall, really polished game.

It took me some time to get used to the isometric controls, I think an indication of which way is "up" would have helped. It was really fun to figure out the patterns and complete the levels, I did it in 688 moves and 36 deaths!

If you ever consider a post-jam version I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to add a level generator/automatic solver and that would add a lot of replayability to the game.

I guess you are the record holder for my game right now :) . And yeah I am planning to include a better way of navigating and AI in future versions. Thanks a lot for your time and suggestions.

753 moves and 22 deaths.

Fun, minimalistic and tough. Loved it.

Thank you. That's an awesome stat. Congrats on finishing the game :)

At first the movement mechanic seemed to complex for me to use any logic, and I just moved how it felt right. But later on I saw some patterns in how the movement works and I was able to move with more intention. Overall an interesting logics game, but a bit too difficult for me.

Oh, one more thing: I often forgot if the arrow up key moves you to the top left or the top right, so I sometimes unintentionally did the wrong move. That was a bit frustrating.

Fighting Chance

Thanks for playing through my game. About the difficulty, yeah it takes some time to tweak our mind to see the pattern at first. But I am sure you will finish all the levels as you go through. And about the arrow keys, yeah I am finding this problem with a few players. Will improve that in future builds. Thanks for the input :)

Awesome game mechanics! This concept can stretch even further if you landed on the right face of the die rather than just the next number up until 6. But that might be left for a hard mode or something. Fantastic job building this polished game.

thedailymadartistDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Thanks for the kind comment. It means a lot :). And about the hard mode, I initially intended to do that only. But figured when number 4 is facing up, the move would go on a loop. It will just keep repeating 4. Will be improving the game for future releases. thanks again for playing my game :D
