Saikoban

Saikoban is a puzzle game in which the player pushes a die around. The goal of the game is to place the die on the green button, making sure the number on top of te die is indicated on the button. Throughout the levels, the player will encounter all sorts of obstacles including red buttons that will kick the die off if it doesn’t have the correct number facing up, canons that can push the die around, blue buttons that can open doors and so on.

I made this game together with my cousin for the 2022 GMTK Game Jam. The theme was “Rolling the Dice“. We chose to interpret this literally and we made a game where you roll a die. Most of the ideas and levels were made by my cousin. My cousin and I both did programming and I made the graphics.
