Loved it, one of my favorites from the jam! Really simple and tight with a good presentation. Great look and feel! In a similar interpretation and use of the dice to my submission, but with a different twist.

A quick design question, did you consider setting the switching of the sides when moving to be set (i.e. like real dice, rolling to the next face) instead of random? That could add a "spatial" element to the puzzles as well, but could make it kinda difficult. Not sure if I explained myself properly.

Anyways, loved it, 5 all around!

tysm for the feedback man! It means alot! And yes, originally it was completely different - I had the die roll like a real die and a gui element showing each side and the bottom of the dice. I made puzzles involving tight spaces and trying to get through a numbered door(I left bits and bobs of this stuff in the source code XD) sadly it was incredibly tricky and unintuitive, even when holding a real die, so I removed the ui and then scrapped it completely xD. I made a really neat efficent system for it if you'r interested in that? and awwwwe thanks so much for the feedback! I still think somehow adding a spatial element would be cool, I tried to do that with the mechanic the last level(tiles that toggle each time you move) introduced but due to a few problems the last level wasn't great xd. I think with work I could make those better and add ones that toggle ever other move of stuff!

I was just curious, it makes sense that the first intuition is to make the dice roll like in real life (as evidenced by the number of dice walking games everywhere) but I understand that it's not super easy to keep track of (I had the suspicion it'd make for a worse game when I asked).

Anyways, once again, cool game, good job :) 

Developer

Yeah I do still want to look into it, it would be hard tho xd, and thanks!!

Pretty clever puzzle design! Took me one or two levels before I understand everything properly but then it wasn't that hard to get to the end. Congrats!

Developer

tysm!! and yeah I agree the main problem is that when playing the first few levels you are solving puzzles whilst figuring out the mechanics

Sick game also pretty sick
