Very fun and pretty game! I Think the game could have done with some more feedback to the player though. Right now you not really sure if you're doing damage to the enemy or what is happening. I thought the mechanic of getting random weapons and enemies was fun. Great game and good job on finishing!
graphics and idea are so cool.really enjoyable
Nice graphics and cool idea too. Interesting bullet mechanics. Well done!
Interesting concept ! The theme is a bit far-fetched : there is no rolling dice, you took the freedom to go more in a "slot machine" direction, which keeps the randomness element and the "rolling", I guess, so it's not completely off-theme either ^^.
I enjoyed the game enough to go to the end ! The idea is really cool, the graphics are great and the music fits perfectly the ambiance. I would have enjoyed if weapons played really differently (like a short-range projectile, a hitscan and a bouncy one, for exemple) so every roll would need to re-think the situation, but that's a lot to ask for a 50h game jam =).
Good idea, great execution, congrats =) !
Well… just because the theme is “Roll of the dice”, I don’t think that necessitates a dice to be present in every game, at least IMO that would be heavily limiting, but yeah glad you enjoyed it!
Huge fan of the music, and the enemy design. I found it a little tricky, but that's because I'm poor at twin-stick shooters!
Nice pixel art! The game is fun to play, and random bullets make the game unpredictable in a good way! However, sometimes the movement is suddenly frozen, and the sound and visual feedback when player hitting enemies is lacking. Overall good job!
I really liked the mechanics. I had a little issue with hitching on movement, unfortunately,
This Game has some really cool Mechanics.
