Theme: Roll of the dice

Uh no! Dicey rolled off the table.

Help them return home to their game box in this short n' sweet platform mini-game.

Beware of shifting moods!

Dicey has mixed emotions about this out-of-box experience;  causing mood swings; each mood has different effects that may or may not come in handy.

It's fun how the controls change! This reminded me of Gris, which also had abilities linked with emotions. I love the board game cafe theme and seeing the pawns everywhere. Would be fun to make the barrels something more board game cafe related too.

Thanks so much for checking out the game and sharing your thoughts.  We love the idea of adding more board game cafe-related objects into the world too!
