How it feels

A tidy, mechanics-driven puzzle game where stacking and matching dice under time pressure feels methodical and competitively engaging rather than intense.

About

XI JUMBO was released as a sequel to Devil Dice only released in Japan. The rule is similar to its predecessor, but in this version, you can stack the dice vertically by lift up or jump with a die. The classical "Trial - Time Limited" and "Puzzle" modes are also available on this version. For new features, The "Battle" mode is entirely renewed with a garbage-attacking style. In addition, a new task-solving trial, named "Norma Attack," is introduced.
