FAQ

Q: What does Sor have to do with dice?
A: This game was originally created for a dice themed jam.  I was thinking of the number 6 and I happened to be practicing songs from Sor's opus 6, so there you go.

Q: How do you get the high scores like the one seen in the screenshot?
A: You have to find and follow the special target, which takes a different path for each song.

Q: "Shooting dice" usually means something else...
A: If you shake your Playdate a bit at the title screen, you get a dice simulator.
