It's a fidget cube with 4 sides. With no hard logic you could have done a nice interface. Nope. You could do better.
Does what it says on the tin I suppose.
When you're stuck and can't think of a good idea, try taking something simple and following the idea past it's logical conclusion. For example, instead of a fidget cube, why not use the same basic systems to build a space-based puzzle game where you needed to perform various combinations to clear blocks (perhaps something like yoshi's cookie mechanics), but instead of sliding rows you used sliders and toggle buttons?
Experimentation along those lines is what makes LD fun and interesting. Simply building a widget is a fine exercise, but not really the purpose of LD.
Despite this, I'll still applaud you for finishing a project inside the LD timescale. I hope you learn from this and come back for 43.
