Pip

Help Pip get to the magic d20! While it might look like a platformer, it's really a puzzle game so put your thinking caps on! Use the arrow keys/WASD and space to move Pip around the level. The dice will follow Pip's actions on its own grid, and its rolls can be used to unlock doors for Pip to go through!

The dice in the top-right is an accurate d6, and will track your motion unless it is blocked. The lines on the background behind Pip correspond to the cells the dice rolls around in.

Hint

If there isn't a square of four empty tiles for the dice to roll around in, then it will always have the same number facing up whenever it's in that position. So sometimes you can solve the puzzle by only thinking about where you need the dice to be to get the number you need. (rather than trying to do all kinds rotations in your head!)
