Of all the top-down shooters I've played so far, this one felt like it has the most distinct weapons, even though some of them were a little hard to use

Dice AspectSome great gameplay ideas in this, such as the walk-through walls and the freeze for a few seconds if you roll to much.

Roll A BladeThe gameplay loop is really fun so the endless mode really makes a lot of sense. The interface tells you everything you need to know and the minimalistic graphics help with visibility.

Afraid To DieVery enjoyable. I especially appreciate how responsive the controls are. Dodging feels incredibly good.

Afraid To DieThis is such a cool and fast-paced game! I am bad at shooters, but I had a lot of fun playing!!

Roll The Dice On MeI love that the dice roll is an action you choose to take with a consequence to react to, rather than a forced-random implementation of a core game mechanic. I think it's incredibly important that you didn't include 'bad' guns, and the rest of the game feels fast - I'm not incentivized to hide behind a wall rolling for my favorite weapon, and I don't feel bad when I get a pistol, but I feel awesome when I roll away from an enemy and land on a 6.

Slice & Dicethank you! That's what I was going for. My main regret was that a lot of the weapons feel the same. The carbine, rifle, and revolver all kinda feel the same just with slight differences in damage and cooldown. If I had more time, I would've added more variety in the weapons, such as making the carbine a burst fire, or a minigun with large recoil.
Very fast-paced, very awesome game! It's got the just one more go feel. I can see the speed runners really enjoying this one!

A Game with DiceThis is such an interesting game. I really like the game play. Its the correct amount of hard and fun for me. Enjoyed it :D

Role Of The DiceEnjoyable minimalistic game. Shooting feels great. And when I'm playing games on jam, I very rarely click on restart. But when I playing in "Dodge roll", I click on restart many times.
Good job.
