Really liked the music here! That crunchy sound was just what I needed to shoot those bubbles. I also appreciated that you introduced the enemy shooting mechanics pretty late, but it would have been nice to separate the slow, red ones from the fast, black ones by at least a level. Good job! Fun game :)

Fun game, simple mechanic, could use a bit more polish.

With better visuals (player sprite, background / ground) and some more enemies it could be expanded a bit more.

I feel like the theme could have been implemented a bit more, with dice-like enemies and maybe some more random attack patterns or whatever

Very nice and cool game with a retro vibe! Very nostlagic. Cool mechanics, but why does the player look like.. that. Anyway, overall very nice and cool game!

Yep, the player sprite is little strange. I probably should've put more time into it. Thanks for the feedback though!

This hit all of my nostalgia gaming feels! I almost felt like I should have been playing it on an OG Atari joystick. Very fun, and though simple in design, had a great amount of challenge! This is the first game I've submitted where I've had a genuine "oh no!" reaction to losing. Also loved the creativity on the levels being on the faces of a die--so cool! Super satisfying entry.

Thank you so much for all your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed my game.

Very Hotline Miami, very fun but had a major difficulty spike after a few levels. Couldn't make it past the one with the double shooters in corners! Lots of fun, and I dig the music.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that I should've made the later levels more balanced, especially the enemies that shoot.

I had a fun time playing this game overall. I think I personally would have appreciated some lives, as some levels were pretty long. Great work!

I really like how the music evolves each level! Solid gameplay, and the level design is harder and harder which ends up for a good challenge! Congrats for your game :)

I dont think this really fits the theme very well. Cute though.

Good Game, Nice graphic polish, it is sometimes annoying that I would have to restart the level all over when I die, but overall good game.

Yeah, I wish I had put a little more time into balancing the difficulty.
