The game is really good) I am impressed with every part of the submission - Art/Music/Concept are perfect and it is so well-polished!
NIce job!
Very well executed game, could see this doing well as is, with little change. Very satisfying attacks, movement, sound, etc. Only thing I would have liked was a quick explanation of what the different attacks did! Fantastic game!
Great visuals, fun gameplay, very juicy. 15/15 stars for me.
I really like your presentation and idea! especially the floating head and hands.
the game felt good to play, and felt polished, lots of nice touches, like the camera shake. I think the gameplay is pretty innovative, and felt good to play, with automating the movement and aiming, and just giving a fire button, and a "nudge in some direction" button. I assume the goal of which was to free the player up to look at and strategize around their current dice roll. however...
my main critique is the tuning of the game. in the early levels, I felt like I /could/ strategize around my placement, timing, and decision making based on the current dice roll, but I didn't need to. if I just rapidly clicked on enemies without any thought, I did just fine.
and then, in the later levels of the game, I felt like even if I wanted to, i couldn't successfully strategize, because of how many enemies spawning, just rapidly clicking on enemies, and right clicking on hearts seemed like the best and only option.
I think that leveling up and getting new abilities was a cool idea, but it really made no impact on how I played, just clicking on enemies and hearts as much as possible. it never really seemed to matter what dice was up, or where I was positioned.
I played until level 11, then quit, because I was had been stable at 4-6 hearts the entire time, and the gameplay just got monotonous.
so, I think tuning the enemies to hit harder and/or have less health, and dont let the game get too crowdy in higher levels, would serve the gameplay of actually paying attention to the dice.
but, tuning in a game jam is basically impossible, so, great work over all!
A wonderfully enjoyable and pretty to look at game with a unique way of controlling a top down shooter. Very good! The only thing to criticise is that it got kinda boring after 2000 kills and I was actually not able to die unless I actively did nothing for a long time. Somehow the game doesn't manage to keep itself difficult enough. It was still really fun nonetheless!
very creative, and great to look at. The game mechanic itself is super unique and i dont think ive seen anything else like it during the jam. Really well done.
thanks so much! :)
Really impressive game! I like it !
Awesome visuals and musics, really nice different mechanic to play with.
Interesting yet simple and very addictive <3
Thank you!!

This game is really well made and polished, and I like the concept, but I found it really hard, until I discovered that just mashing click makes it trivial. I went to level 10 with my health always at max, while I struggled to get to level 4 without spamming. I think the main problem is that there are a lot of enemies, and it does not matter if you align perfectly your shots to kill two enemies at once, because 5 enemies have spawned in the meantime and you could just have tossed it and maybe killed one at random, plus gotten a dash afterwards and got to the heart that would have depleted otherwise.
But don't get me wrong, it's a great game, it's just frustrating that the optimal strategy is the easiest one to pull off.
Exactly same opinion here, I think it's too chaotic for its own good and so click spam work too much.
But a really solid entry nevertheless.
(Sorry to use your commentary I don't want to repeat all what you said perfectly :p)
Yes for sure, it really was a rush at the end to get it submitted on time. With just a little more time and some tweaks, we would have been able to balance the gameplay a lot. But such is the nature of a game jam! Thanks for the feedback :)
The presentation is fantastic, the gameplay is satisfying and fun, and the take on the theme is very creative. I just love the idea of moving automatically and having your moves controlled by a die. Most of the gameplay was RNG, but I still felt like I had control. Really nice work!
Thank you, glad you had fun! :D
Can't believe this is a game jam game! Brilliant.

Amazing game, loved everything from art style, to music to gameplay. It was a bit chaotic at first, but i quickly for the hang of it and i couldn't stop after that, really excited to see what's next!!
What an awesome feeling and sounding game! Bit of balancing as just randomly clicking on the board and always upgrading bigger bullets ensured that I was unbeatable. Hearts were so plentifull and I think enemies didnt scale with time so.. GOD MODE! :D Such a good idea still! Great work! 👍
Thank you! Yes, unfortunately the nature of a game jam means we ran out of time and couldn't balance the gameplay with so many last minute implementations. Glad you liked it anyway! :)
Such a great a game my gosh ! the feeling, the feedbacks ! loved it :) This is not really clear some times if you gonna take a hit or not.
Hope that you will be able to test my game :) thx
Holy this is arguably my favorite jam game I've played so far. The gameplay loop is extremely addicting and well polished. It's hard to understand the game at first but once you get in the rhythm of the game it feels really satisfying to pull off combos (a combo meter would be the cherry on top).
I hope to see this game get's developed further, it's very promising as of what it is now. I would suggest that some player health indication on the plater itself would be a good idea since the chaotic nature of the game does not allow me to to look right for one second.
Thanks for playing, and the feedback! Yeah, it's hard to look away from the action to see your health or any other UI unfortunately. Definitely lot's of things that could be improved, but such is the nature of a game jam! Glad you enjoyed in though! :D
