Please do not reproduce for profit without my consent. You won't be getting 
much profit anyway, but that's not the point. This took time and effort, and 
I just wanted to save a memory of an old game and the odd solutions any way I 
could. Please send me an email referring to me and this guide by name if 
you'd like to post it on your site.

Also a small note: I think I've minimized the moves for many levels, but if 
you find any improvements, let me know.

  1. INTRODUCTION

All 1 is a 50-level game where you maneuver dice around a field so that they 
all turn up and have the number 1. It looks tougher than it really is--
basically, you have a HUGE hint because you can see the sides of the blocks, 
which takes up a part of the screen otherwise dedicated to an actual puzzle. 
This interface is clever but takes challenge surprise out of the game. Trial 
and error would be okay here because you have an undo feature.

While the dice rolling looks confusing, there's not that much to do, because 
you can turn anything into a 1 in 2 or fewer tips--often 1. A lot of the 
puzzles are telegraphed, where they look messy until you start trying stuff, 
and the easiest way often works, but the ones where you have to work out of 
very little space are entertaining. Often a board will look disjointed at 
first, but the pieces fall into place nicely. The puzzle difficulties yo-yo 
wildly with even some obvious repetitions of big themes, but it's a good game 
with cute graphics and well worth the few hours it takes to solve. It's not 
the first Famicom game I've enjoyed for its uniqueness and relative 
simplicity, but for those who want more of a challenge there is a tougher 
game called Devil Dice for the PlayStation.

Terminology in this faq and distinctions to make:

Down side vs bottom: down side is the side you see if you are 1 down of the 
cube. Bottom is the side on the ground.

Upper side vs top is a similar distinction.

I'll also refer to moves like U L R etc. That is shorthand. Parentheses, or a 
direction before a number, refer to the location of a die to move if more 
than two with the same top value are available. I also assume that if you 
have 2 dice with the same top face and you can't move one, you'll know which 
to move.

  2. CONTROLS

Relatively easy to master. Push A and you will push a die over--the subscreen 
shows what will be on top. Pushing while holding tips a die over and moves 
you. You can only push a die onto the ground.

Pushing B allows you to back up.  You even get your messed up move back. But 
you can only back up one move.

Only die and barrier pushes count as moves. Moving your guy does not.

[start] leads to a menu: Retry, menu, round. UD switches option and LR 
changes level. Push B to return to your game. Menu lets you access your 
score, but there is no way back to the game without resetting the level.

Score = dice push moves taken to win all levels(999 if you haven't solved it)

  3. STRATEGIES AND GROUP THEORY

Cubes have 24 orientations uniquely defined by the top face and the face 
looking up. They have 2 basic ways to be rotated, not counting their inverses 
or combinations. Flip LR or UD. These operations are not commutative, ie L 
then U is not U then L. The die in the game looks as follows:


   y-axis(up/down)

        2
        | 6 z-axis (bottom)
        |/
     3-- --4 x-axis(left/right)
       /|
(top) 1 |
        5

You don't need to remember the orientation, only that opposite faces sum to 
7. You can usually check what 2 adjacent sides are if you really need to find 
what the game die's orientation means--though there are only 2 possible 
orientations, because 1-2-3 share a corner, and flipping any 2 faces once 
leads to another orientation, and flipping twice is back to the original--
with some rotation.

Watch getting to a place where you can't move a die, unless it is a 1. 
Fortunately the game has a lot of bailouts where you can just push something 
into the corner and presto, it's a 1. Try these first. Remember, the puzzles 
may be hard but it may be even harder to MAKE a challenging puzzle.

#=die face, X= barrier

##
##

and

X#
 #X

are impossible to get out of. In general watch for areas getting too 
cluttered and see if you can push something to the edge to make a 1--or even 
push a 1 to the side to make space to operate, before you push the 1 back 
later.

6's can be moved in 2 of any direction to make a 1.  1's can be moved in 4 of 
any direction if you need space. To flip to the opposite side and move 1 
over, try U L U or something like that.

If you need to push a 1 a square to the side, U R D or any 
permutation/rotation works.

If you can't push something, say, left to put a 1 on top, see if you can move 
up/down a bit then push left.

Note if you push something against an edge it can only go U/D. So if the 1/6 
is on the side facing the edge, you are stuck.

Determine the order you need to move pieces in, or at least what you can't. 
The rest may fall out through trial and error.

  4. WALKTHROUGH

Level 1:

Level 1 can be done in 4 steps. You should remember that opposite faces of a 
die sum to 7, and pushing a die on its side two times in the same direction 
shows what was on the bottom, so there are lots of ways to do this. Easiest 
is to push the top die 2U and the bottom 2D.

Level 2:

Here you need to make use of the screen on the left. It shows what the side 
of the die you are facing has. In this case, the 1's are on the down side of 
the 2's, so push each 2 up 1, then push the 6's 2 down each.

Level 3:

DL 2 goes D R R, DR 2 goes D L D L. Top 2 goes U.

Level 4:

An introduction to flowers, which dice can't cross, but you can. 6 goes 2L, 2 
goes 1L, 5 goes 1U, 4 goes 1D.

Level 5:

An introduction to hay bales, which you can push as long as there is nothing 
behind.

X b X
XXcXXX
X   X
X 6 XX
a   X
XXXXXX

Push a 3R, b 1R, c 1U, and the 6 2U.

Now in the DR, push the 1 1R, the 3 U, 4 D, and the 5-that-was-1 1L.

Level 6:

You don't have to move the hay.

The 2 D L, the 5 1U, the 3 1U, the DR 4 2D R, and the other 4 1L.

In the UR, 2 L, 3 D, 5 R, 4 U.

In the DL, the right 1 2R, 6 2L, (3) 1L.

Level 7:

The DR 2's 1R each. The UL 2's 1U each. The 6's 2U, the 5 1D.

Level 8:

The 2's on the left 1L. The 2's on the right 1R. Push the center 1 1D, the 3 
1R, and the 4 1U. Push the 6's 2R, 2D and 2L.

Level 9:

Coordinates are from the center mountain, but fortunately many moves are from 
1 to 6, so you know you just have to move a piece 2 times.

6-2L goes 2U
6-1U-1L goes 1R
6-2U goes 2R
6-1U-1R goes 1D
6-2R goes 2D
2-1R-1D goes 1L
3-2D goes 1L
3-1R goes 1D
2-1U goes 1R

Level 10:

Here a lack of space can get you down again. You need to observe what is on 
the side of something, and don't mash things together in a square til you're 
ready.

Left 3 1D
Right 5 1U
Right 6 1U
Left 6 1D
5 1R
Upper 3 1L
Left 3 1D

UR 4 1U
Remaining 4 R U

Level 11:

Neat, a city with trash cans and buildings. Push the 6 2U. Push the trash can 
2R. Push the 4 1L. Go through the bushes, push the can 1L1D of the 3 1D, then 
push the 3 1L1D. Go to the bottom, push the trash can all the way right, then 
the other trash can 2U so you can push the 2 1L. Push the left of the UR 
trash cans 2U, the 4 1L and the 5 1R.

Level 12:

Push the 3 5L. Push the 5's in the DL 1D each and the 6 2D. Push the 6's on 
the bottom 2R and the 5 just above 1L 1D.

Push the remaining 5 3R. Push the bottom 4 3R D 4L. 2 2D L, 4 5D L.

Level 13:

Push the non-1's to the right 2D. Push the 2 in the UL 1U. Push the 4 1L, the 
5 2L D, the 3 1R.

Level 14:

In the DL, push the 4 2U L, the 6 L, 2 L, 5 L. In the right, push the 2 6's 
you can push 2U. Push the DL of the remaining 6's R D R. Push the other one 
1L, the 2 6's 2U, and leave the 4 since you need to use the square 1L.

The 4 on the left can go 4D 3L. 5 U L 3U, 4 4D L U L D. 2 3D L, 2 9D R, 5 U, 
4 L.

Level 15:

1 8R, then the 1 above it 1U 1D, 6(DL) 2D, 6(UL) 2R. All other 6's can go 2D. 
Bottom ones first.

Level 16:

Start with an X, end with a windmill. 4 1D. 2(DL) 2R. 2(1R1D of center) 1U. 
2(1R1U of center) 1L. 2(1L1D) 1U 1R. The 2 UL 2's both 1D. UR 2 goes 1L, DR 
one goes 1U, 5 goes 1L.

Level 17:

1 2U. 6(D) 2R, 6 2D. 2 1R, 3 1D.

Level 18:

Take one letter of "TIM" at a time. M first. 3(UR) 2R D, 2 U R, 3 R D. 3(UL) 
2R D, 4 U L, 5 R U, 3 R D.

I: push the 6's 2D, the top 5 2R U, the left 4 D L. Next 5 1R, detour the UR 
4 D L, bring the other 4 1U, and 5 1U.

T: 5(middle) 2R, 4(L) 1U1L, 4 1U1L. 5(U) 1R 1U. 5 1U, 2(R) 1U. 2(R) 1D 1R, 
2(L) 1D 1R.

Level 19:

Here you form "TIM", the opposite of the last level.

Go to the UR. 2 1R, 5's 1U, 4 1L, 5 1U. Push the first 2 3's 1D. Push the 3 
5's in a row below 1U, pushing the column of 4's 1L after the L and center 
5's.

Push the bottom 5's 1U, the 4 1L and the 3 1D.

Left 2 1R, left 5 1U, all other 5's 1U.

Top 2 2L, 3R. Bottom 2 1R.

I can't help thinking with a bit better ordering I could win without pushing 
the 2 back and forth. Oh well.

Level 20:

The UL 6's 2L each. 2 1L, 3 3R in the DL. In the center left, 1 4D and 6 R U 
R. Bottom center 6 2R, 1 4R. In the DR, 6 L D L. 1 3U L U, 3 3D.

Turn the center post 1U and the UR 2 1U 1L. 5 and 2 go 1D 1R. Push the posts 
above/below the 4 1L and the 4 1D.

Level 23:

The cacti pretty much fix which way things can go. But you need to be careful 
about the order to minimize your moves.

5 R D, 4 D L, 3 L U, 2 U R, 6(L) U L U, 6 D R D.

Level 24:

Basically, turn all 6's to 1's with 2-pushes here.

Push L D L L to get out of there, push the tuft down, and then push the 6's 
at the top 2U. Push the left 6 2D and the next-left 2U. Push the UL remaining 
6 2L to the edge and the top 6 2L. The remaining 6 not in the rectangle can 
go 2U.

    5-3. FUN STUFF TO TRY

Thanks to Rob Browning(Pluvius) on GameFAQs for this neat cheat. He points 
out as well that level 1 is the easiest to try everything on, as it has two 
dice. You can just mimic the move you make with the top, on bottom. Turn each 
die 1D and then push L, 2L, R or 2R as desired. That gets everything except 
the 1.

If you turn all dice to a number other than 1, something special can happen.

2: ok, nothing, but look below...
3: "congratulation" game ending screen
4: your bug turns into an asterisk.
5: screen turns a bit dark.
6: gives a sound test(choose 0-11)--this is the starting configuration for 
level 1, so you need to flip one die back and forth to get this.

  7. CREDITS

Thanks to the usual GameFAQs gang, current and emeritus. They know who they 
are, and you should, too, because they get/got some SERIOUS writing done. 
Good people too--bloomer, falsehead, Sashanan, Masters, Retro, Snow 
Dragon/Brui5ed Ego, ZoopSoul, War Doc, Brian Sulpher, AdamL, odino, JDog and 
others I forgot. OK, even Hydrophant in his current not-yet-banned message 
board incarnation. I am not part of his gang, but I want him to be part of 
mine.
Thanks to the NES Completion Project folks for keeping it going. Yes, this is 
a Famicom game, but it's a side branch of all the NES stuff.
Special thanks to pluvius for notifying me about this game and, later, for 
notifying me about the cheat of turning all dice to one number.
