Dice are used for randomizing the player and opponent stats. Doing so can give a health boost when the player has low HP

The core concept is really solid! I love how you roll for stats at the start and see how far you can go! I could definitely see this being polished up with heaps of weird stats to roll for in the future! Great work :)
Thanks so much for checking out my gam and for the great feedback :)
Nice game. UI is good. Please check out my game.
Thanks a lot for checking out my game!
This was fun, thank you!
A couple of notes, if you're interested:
Thanks again for letting me play!
Wow, thanks so much for playing my game and for the detailed feedback! I definitely agree with the first two points, the controls need to be tighter and the enemy ships need less health. As for your third point I think it would be a really good idea to explore, I just worry a bit that getting unlucky at the start would make the run so difficult it would no longer be fun. Still there are ways around that, like one suggestion I've heard would be to add powerups that counter having bad stats, or adding mechanics to re-randomize your stats part way through the game. Or maybe there could be a hard more where the rolls at the start would be much more impactful, and then a normal/ easy mode more similar to what I have now. Anyways all really good points, thanks again!
It's a fun idea, sadly I dont think the gun is deadly enough, it's hard to kill aliens even wih fast shooting speed. Love the SFX and backround art
Thanks a lot for checking out my game! Durning the jam I discovered that my game was too easy so I went too far in the other direction and made it too difficult haha. It's a good leason for next time though :)
I had a fun time playing your game! It was funny seeing how much the randomized stats affected my playthrough. The floaty controls didn't feel great imo, but other than that I had a good time.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :) The controls definitely need work, I would add just a bit of frictional force if I could go back
Nice arcade shooter. I almost beat it! Gave me that "just one more game" feeling.
Thanks for playing my game, I'm happy that you enjoyed it :)
Very similar to arcade shooter in both play and look. The floaty movement like you were really out in space was interesting and took some getting used to. The way the dice are used to determine your stats is a nice way to add some variety between each attempt.
My experience was overall enjoyable but I wish the game had some music in it though to help pull me in more and perhaps more enemy variety.
Thanks a lot for playing my game! Fyi there is a bug in the web release of my game where the music does not play, but it (should) work on the windows release if you are interested :)
I would love to. I can't get the windows version to download. It may be on my end though.
