Thanks! I will try to redo the mechanics of bone rotation as quickly as possible. By the way, tell me what language you know and I'll add it to the game :)

Arabic but its written from right to left , you gonna need RTL plugin , its hard to implement it the correct way, to be honest its easier to learn Russian  than implementing RTL linked language  haha,

Nice work in just 3 hours !

Same feedbacks as the previous reviewers: faster turn, more feedbacks, and a bit of SFX :)

Hi, really good art, and good UI Design. Relaxing music. I would like to have a more rewarding "effect" or at least "sound effect" when the Bone is in the correct place. Maybe a "KA-SHING" because you get money everytime a bone is correctly placed in the structure.

Thanks! Yes, the "KA-SHING" sound would be great)

Awesome idea for the game jam! Definitely agree with speeding up the rotation on the fossils but overall I think the game has a lot of potential!

It fits the theme and I like the idea of a cozy puzzle game. My complaint is that there is too many bones and rotating them is very slow making the process feel too tedious for me to finish the skeleton.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree 100% that we need to speed up the rotation of the bones. And 50% agree that the number of dice needs to be reduced :) I'd rather add some actions, like seeing a bone in detail and dusting it off (of course, you should additionally use mechanics to encourage the player to do the right thing) Overall, I believe this game, with some effort, can compete with House Flipper and similar games :).

Nice puzzle game. My only complaints (other than what's already been stated) are that the music stopped playing after a while, and there's not much feedback when placing and rotating bones.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, there needs to be more feedback and effects from the game. I didn't realize there was a bug with the music, but I'll look into it :)

An interesting approach to the theme with this a nice looking game. Some bones didn't really want to go into their places, otherwise the game was good :)

Thanks! Yes, there is some kind of bug with some bones, I have not figured out the reason for it yet. 😞

Shame you were not able to implement the digging up of the bones. Cool game, I really like the art style.  :)

The style should have been even cooler! Unfortunately, the artist did not manage to participate, so I got out of it as best I could :)

Thanks! :)
