Very fun, surprisingly immersive for a game that has older-style graphics. The idea of dice as a weapon is really cool and makes this game addictive, I definitely played it for longer than I should have lol.

Woah! The mechanics and concept were really cool... Saving progress is a very nice touch! It's kind of difficult to hit the enemies sometimes, but excellent game, nonetheless!
First thing first: thank you for taking the time to make a step-by-step tutorial. It really helped to grasp all the mechanics of the game. The game was quite difficult to me, probably because I'm not extremely used to first person camera, but the fact that the overall gameplay is well polished made the experience worth my time and fun!
I like how you pay attention to details to make the game feel better. For example, I think that the colored dice are perfect to indicate the different weapons since they are well recognizable, and I would say the same thing for the big and easily readable numbers above the dice after rolling them. Good job!
fun little game. I played until my high score was 57, so I quite enjoyed it ;) Was funny to find out that you could actually use the spears to move, but didn't really work out for me. Biggest complain by far would be, that the first person camera is quite bad for kiting enemies, and thats what kind of the thing you do the most. and I also didn't really pay attention to what the dice rolled. Mainly used spears and 1 spear is almost as good as 6
Ps: loved that game progess is saved between closing the game. So I could still find out my hight score for the comment :)
Hitting enemies was a little tricky, in contrast I had lots of fun attempting to climb up the towers. Overall, solid experience for a 48 hour jam, especially seeing how polished it was with all the sound effects, the shaking of the game over text etc...
I find it difficult to hit the enemies. My best score is 11 kills.
Even if throwing the dice directly at the eyeballs wasn't gonna kill them, I would at least have liked them to push them back a bit.
It was satisfying killing enemies with the lightning ability and fun leaping in the air with the spears, one thing which was a bit annoying for me was that when you got hit, you'd go get knocked into the opposite direction which was fine but you'd keep going in that direction until you landed which resulted in a lot of off the maps knockbacks even though I was pretty much in the middle of the arena.
i agree with the others, the lightning ability was by far my favorite.
well done on this!
Wow that was nice! The lightning ability was very satisfying, when I managed to pull it off and zapp a lot of enemies at once
Didn't figure out what the yellow one does
The lighting attack was very fun to pull off, but I found the spear attack underwhelming. Definitely a fun take on using dice to attack.
28 kills! This one was wild, and pretty difficult to get away from the hoard of eyeball. Nice work!
