Managed to get 7th place on the leader boards so not bad for me... It was fun! Some of the weapons were really fun to use such as the shotgun or the smg. Visuals are nice too with a dark atmosphere.

I like a twinstick shooter! This one was pretty fun, although lacking a little in the juice department. I've seen the "roll for different weapons" mechanic a few times this jam. Its a fun interpretation of the theme, and I did enjoy suddenly having a shotgun. One small criticism - I'd have liked it if the distance an enemy can spawn at was set a bit farther. I walked around a corner of a deadend and an enemy immediately spawned at the end of the dead-end. It felt unfair that I had just cleared that area and then an enemy appeared in it when I was still quite close to it.

The Six Faced War MachinesCongrats on your submission :) Nice atmosphere and even with some small bugs it was still very enjoyable :)

Trust the DiceNice job! The sounds and visuals worked well together. The cooldown on the dice did feel a bit too long though. Fun game.

AstRollnautReally atmospheric! Zombies sometimes stuck if they're crowded and I don't really understand the dice's cooldown mechanics, but aside from that, it is a super solid and super fun game. The leaderboard is genius as it makes the game much more engaging and even I attempted to get a good score as well. Overall nice work!

Paint Me Something, Will You?I think I would have preferred more diversity among the random weapons to make it feel like a true roll of the dice. The dark atmosphere and multiple hallways design led to many panic moments and on-the-go improvisation. I think you nailed the game feel and leaned into your main gimmick really well in a fun way.

High Roller Tower DefenseMoody and atmospheric zombie shooter. Encountered lots of tense moments desperately looking for a reload where none would come. Met a grim and fretful end. Good stuff.

The Backrooms: Roll the DiceCool game. The idea is interesting, but it seems the zombies take way too many rounds to kill and the timeout between reloading is too long, so I ended up forced to run in circles waiting for gun reload. The level is also not particularly interesting.

The InfestationGood game! I love this kind of shooter!
The art and presentation is great too.
The theme could be better implemented, tho.

You Against PixiesSimple but nice concept, shooting zombies is and will always be fun ! The visuals, lighting and ambience are really good. On the oher hand, the level design could be improved, the map should be composed with more connected rooms and less dead ends. Because it is really frustrating to choose a path and then get stucked, it make those small rooms useless.
Exept that point it's a really good entertaining game. Nice work !

Rolling SpellsThe game is nice but I feel like it would work without the dice and did not match the theme well. The lighting and colours work really well together!

Griddlys TaleEyy I got the high score! I liked the spooky lighting and constant pressure to adapt to whichever weapon I got next. I did get trapped a few times with zombies on both sides, and had to wait it out until I got my next weapon, so it would be nice if there was another way to escape when you're surrounded. Maybe take some hits but push through the zombies? Regardless, a polished experience that exemplifies the theme well, while keeping the gameplay engaging and fair! Great job, and congrats on submitting before the servers crashed haha
