(I am now in a rush to test as many games as possible to help, so please do not mind the cursory reviewing style.)

controls are QWERTY-only instead of layout-independent, BUT arrow keys are enabled

very cute visual style; including sweet animation for restarting

clear/helpful UI (including cube pattern + arrow to know which direction for last move)

EXCEPT I would have inverted the four lateral values!

AND a 3D layout may be more convenient than a cube pattern (made this change when creating my game; see screen capture for an imperfect example)

mysterious and driving suspenseful music (mine is mysterious-driving not suspenseful, by the way! ;))

nice to have implicit tutorial/learning progression, although a bit steep (because both often/always {movement + value}); this makes learning sometimes ambiguous (example: ice blocks; I did not get at first that you could have a SUPERIOR value)

main mechanic = devices depend on the top-face value: interesting!

also rotation; varied

but: if you press a movement key too early at the beginning of a level, the die rotates while still on its starting tile

level 4: Shift at beginning (= before moving) costs one but does nothing; bug?

level 4 already tricky!! :o Managed to win without activating the first ‘4’ switch (using two jumps); was this the intended solution!

the combinatorials or Shifts + free rotations make it hard to figure out solutions

trap in level 5

kept on mistaking R key for E key: too close… XD Change key for restarting? Or my fault.

reached North area/platform of level 5, but what next?? Rotation does not help.

-> I am stuck here, unfortunately… ._. Is the level impossible?? Or am I being a fool, here?

-> SOLVED level 5… I think having to mentally anticipate to correct pre-rotation before a ‘yellow arrow jump’ that will lead you several steps/tiles away from another trigger requires a lot of thinking.

A skip/choose level functionality would have helped testing

the arrow can sometimes hide a face’s number (although there is still the UI pattern)

BEAT THE GAME! The final level (level 8) was less hard than some others; a possible rush symptom? ;) I know I have. (Maybe DOS and some others did too.)

CONCLUSION: Interesting, varied and rather original mechanics, pretty, but the learning/tutorial process is a tad too steep, and the combinatorials of shifting+rotating made it somewhat taxing at times — although it all depends on the difficulty you are looking for; this could be perfectly acceptable. Maybe do I have a bias about the difficulty because of the short playing time that the voting process of the game jam imposes.

Question: is there a special meaning to the title? :)

I didn't really understand how to go about playing this game but the sound design and little effects do tell me its a polished game so kudos to that cheers :)

This is a really cool concept!! Unfortunatetly I don't know if this happens because of mi computer but the fixed resolution makes me unable to see the number of shift and space I can use, there is an image to show the game the way I see it. This makes this level kind of impossible unless I start to guess every move because there is a limited use of the spacebar and the attack. I didn't even knew I could use them, I just pressed every key to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Other than that this isn't the most intuitive game, it could really use a tutorial or a little text at the start of the level that tells you how you are supposed to deal with certain obstacles. One final note is that I thought the game was broken but it was because the number that reacts to the enviroment is the one on top, i guess my fault lol. I hope you are able to fix this issue because it really looked like a promising game. Sorry for bad english.

Nice game, though the stages really do require some thinking.

after playing the game I can say it is a pleasant experience and a well-made game there are some little bugs but they are just visual and minor 

after finishing the game twice i can definitely say that this is a game
