Turn the volume up! The submission volume is pretty low for some reason :(

This is such a great game for being made in such a short time!
any way i can download insted of playing out the browser
Using the Itch.io app lets you download browser games I believe.
fun game
I wonder how do you make the dice bounce on the ground so realistically?
Animating that was a challenge. I drew the dice in different perspectives and made them into a sprite sheet.
It's really hard work for a game made in 2 days. But you made it like in a real 3D environment.
Actually its in 2d! The game cheats the by storing the height of the dice and handles those physics separately and moves up the die up to make it look like its in the air
???
Can someone please simplify what they just said.
To be fair its not really that simple unless you know a bit about how games are made. The basic concept is the game uses a completly 2d physics engine and just fakes vertical height with the shadow which makes it look like its in the air
Very cute and fun :3
This kinda feels like something I could play on cool math games ngl lol
Also the INFINITE DICE once you beat it because at a point you will always have atleast 2 matching @_@
This is like the best chess related game I have played! Great job!
sometimes dice just bounce off enemy when it should kill :(
lol
Fixed!
Really cool ¿Which engine did you use?
The game was made in Unity.
Wonderful, happy to have completed it
Good job finishing!
favorite game so far!
Glad you enjoyed it!
kept me like 45 minutes that i thinked were 10. Really addictive
I am happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream, here's the interview; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1544750624
Is there a way to skip the tutorial?
we will be uploading a post jam version with that feature! Due to a bug it doesn’t work in the jam version
Ok!
Insanely good. Maybe a little overwhelming.
Not a bad game with a very unconventional and interesting idea that I have not seen before! However, too complicated for me :0
Bugs, in my short learning journey of this game I did not find, and if the game added a couple more levels, maybe bosses and the main menu, you could put it out as a finished product.
Overall I enjoyed it, 9/10 dice.
