This is the best game in the jam that I've played so far. its so addicting and fun. the presentation is perfect and the music is wonderful. honestly, if this game had a bit more polish, some more levels, and controller support I would buy this. Great job. The only complaint I have is that it is hard to tell when an enemy or the player is damaged. a simple red flash/red coloring on either would fix this though.

How does your game fit the theme?
In my game you can roll, and every time you roll the dice that determines your gun changes, and also you get a power up every two dices

Fun game, and I really liked the art in this game! I like how there's 3 difficulties to choose from as well so everyone can enjoy the game.
Would love if you can check out my game too. Thanks!

A Liar's DiceGreat idea, fits the theme nicely! Very stylish graphics and good variety and depth for a short arcade romp. Well done!

Bubble Bustin'Plus: Love the concept of tying offensive and defensive together with a roll. Love the mirror boss. Must take a lot of work.
Minus: Enemy bullets are a tad too fast to normally dodge and there's not really an incentive for the player to stop spamming rolls to roll a health restore. Also the levels are too easy! We need more minions to kill!
Great concept. Solid.

Hexahedral SquasherFelt really good to play! Music, art and style went together quite nicely. The roll did feel a bit overpowered, even through the randomness you could keep rolling and heal up like nothing happened. Still a nice take on the theme!

Dicey TowersRolling serves so many purposes in your game (evading, reloading, randomizing damage, healing, power ups), and they all blend together quite nicely.

Alea Jacta EstI really liked the art in this! The overall, dark tone was pretty nice.

Gamblin' GaryA very unique idea! I love how you combined the roll of the dice with the movement of the character. When I realized how that worked, it completely changed my way of playing and it was very enjoyable trying to manipulate the dice as I wanted!

The Randomless MissionReally cool game! It took a while to realise how important the rolling was (though you did point that out in the instructions!), and once I started using it more, the game got a lot more fun. The power-up coming based on the dice you get when you roll is a really smart mechanic, because it encourages the gameplay you want -- having them roll and swap weapons constantly. Very cool.
I'll mention though that you probably want the next wave delay to end (or at least shorten) once all the enemies in the current wave is done, otherwise the player is just standing around, waiting for the enemies to appear. (Also, the grey on grey was a bit hard to see; some more contrast between the player and the background would have been nice, though the enemies were all very visible!)

The King's GambitGood game with a nice music. But the waves are slow at the start. Good work !

Loaded DiceCombat was fun and it felt smooth! Waves felt a little slow at the start but it was still challenging.
