d6: A puzzle about dice
This is my (very short) entry for the 2022 GMTK Game Jam.
I'm happy with the visuals and sounds but the gameplay is a lot more trial-and-error-based than I had hoped. I hope you at least find it a little interesting.
The controls are explained in-game:
- WASD/Arrow keys to move
- R to restart that level
- Esc to quit (although this will do nothing in the web version)
Made in the Godot Engine

Install instructions
I have only tested the Windows version: macOS and Linux versions are provided but I have no idea if they will work.
Just extract the zip file and run the executable. Make sure you don't separate the executable from the .pck and data_ files.

The game is a little hard for the already mentioned reasons. Nonetheless some good puzzles and visuals are also nice!
Super polished visual presentation
My only feedback would be that a 3D view might make it easier to understand how the core puzzle works. I found it a bit tough to internalize the idea of a 3d cube rolling around when all I am looking at is in 2D. At the very least, show the dots as the die is flipping.
100% agree. I'm just not very good at making 3D games: the grey indicators are supposed to be a substitute for the 3D perspective. If I had more time, I would have shown the dots during the animations, but I would have had to make a lot more assets.
