Dicetris

Dicetris is a fun and unique take on the classic Tetris style, and I really enjoyed all the interesting mechanics it had to offer. The levels are very well designed and all use the mechanics of the game in unique ways, though I did clear one or two stages in the first or second move, which was a little disappointing. Overall a very enjoyable experience that is well worth the price.

Overall its a fun game once you understand how to play it, a rather challenging game that requires you to think and not a turn of your brain kinda game like tetris is. The game mechanics can be a bit difficult to pick up so take your time with the tutorial. I have not encountered any issues with playing on linux.

I was pleasantly surprised how cleverly done the level progression is in this game. I have the final chapter left and I am determined to defeat it!

This is a short game (endless mode notwithstanding), but the ideas displayed in the puzzle design make it worthwhile. Some flaws though. The 'Journey' or campaign mode introduces a few ideas per world, where the goal is full clearing the board to beat each level. The level layout and your conveyor of dice is fixed, so it's quite puzzle like. The mechanics change how you plan your dice placement, and at times reveal 'hidden truths' of the game rules, which is quite neat. Often, if you are observant there's a path to clear the board in only a few moves, though with persistence you can eventually clear it regardless. Some levels in Journey have optional objectives, but they only exist in world 1, and are incredibly easy. Seems vestigial. Endless mode seems half baked to me, I got to the 100k+ points achievement and it didn't evolve to include any of the mechanics from Journey. This caused me to be bored and decide I didn't want to do it anymore. Though, it isn't too surprising as I don't like endless score chasers in general. If you like the base gameplay and want to jam for half an hour it may be fine. Visual/Music/Sound is pleasant, though the UI for menus is missing polish, cou…

It's a cool concept, a real headscratcher at times, I got stuck on a couple of levels, but eventually I figured out what to do. Every stage has its own gimmick and it doesn't outstay its welcome. Also the aesthetic and the art direction are really cool and pleasing to the eye, the game's strongest point. Long story short, it's a cool game if you like puzzles and tetris-like games. Would definitely recommend.

[h3][b][u]Short Answer:[/u][/b][/h3] A [i]Tetris[/i]-inspired game about clearing boards filled with dice. The level-based Journey Mode is by far the highlight to me with its array of unique mechanics that make for clever, though not particularly difficult, puzzles; but there's also an Endless mode for those that prefer a more classic "score attack" gameplay loop. Overall a fun puzzler with more depth than I expected, and one I wouldn't mind seeing more of in the future. [h3][b][u]Long Answer:[/u][/b][/h3] [i]Dicetris[/i] is another one of those games that, upon playing for a few minutes, makes me go "Why haven't I seen anyone try this before?". Maybe I just happened to miss all the other games similar to it since there's like a thousand games being dumped onto Steam every day, but I'm happy to have found this particular one either way—or rather, I'm happy this particular one found me, because the devs reached out to me to see if I'd be down to review it thinking that it would be right up my alley. They clearly did their research, because it absolutely was. The gist of the gameplay is, as the name would imply, a [i]Tetris[/i]-style "drop blocks in the right places to clear the bo…
