Phenomenal level of polish and very creative implementation of the theme. Randomization as a mechanic is so easy to be frustrating, but being able to loop through the attacks rapidly - and the fact that they were all both useful and fun (bonus for great sfx for each) makes it very satisfying to see them all in use. 

The gameplay loop ramps up nicely towards that "enemy melting" phase that become more and more fun to play, and the way the upgrades work made me want to keep seeing all of the different dice I could get, and also how large the bullets could become. Bonus points also towards making you choose "dice" or "stat" before you can see which dice are available. 

As others have pointed out, the one "balance" issue is you quickly realize you can rapidly spam attacks and basically never lose (though I see in one of your comments, you've already addressed a fix for this). But for 48 hours, this is absolutely a solid foundation for a real game worth paying for. If this is not in the top 100 I will be very surprised. Excellent job!

Wow, this feels like a fully released game, not a jam game.
The art style, the music, and the feedback are all excellent.
The level and upgrade systems are also well done.

I ended up trying to make my bullets bigger and bigger :P
Highly rated !

Really good, had fun playing this! Took me a while to figure out what some of the dice did and how to use them (shield and reload in particular) but once I got those sorted out, all the dice felt good to play. Love the visual style, sounds and music! Great job!

Such a polished game is such a short time is absolute madness !

The gameplay feels a bit chaotic and it is too much for me to handle. Still really great submission for the jam.

By far the best one I've seen in the jam yet. Amazing work, it looks and feels great to play, but most importantly fits the theme in a way that isn't boring or unfun, which a lot of the games seem to.

Absolutely cracked presentation - love the visuals, music and feel. Surprisingly deep gameplay too, having to work with your action dice rolls but having a lot of control over how you use what you're given. Could lose myself in this one for hours.

Amazing and really creative game with a unique take on the theme. Although at first it may feel a bit confusing and hard, after you get used to the mechanics this game becomes really fun and enjoyable to play. Also I love the design, especially the music, I feel like I could listen to it for hours at a time. Astonishing work!

Great submission. The music is definitely a highlight, and the art is fantastic (love the palette).

Gameplay is fun, although I did find it a bit overwhelming with lots to keep track of initially. I'm not sure I understood what impact the dice upgrade has on the game, and would definitely have liked to see a way for the player to have some agency over the dice rolls. 

Good job on such a polished experience!
