This is very creative and a good implementation of the theme. I had fun, but I will say that there are so many ammo pickups that you don't really need to use the rolling mechanic because all of your ammo is always full. This is pretty standard for a jam game though. Overall, incredible visuals and music, a creative idea, and very good execution. Well done!

this is very fun! the visuals are nice and charming and I'm a sucker for rail shooter type stuff so it was a nice throw back to early console versions of that sort of thing. Great work!

Shoot the WorksThis was a fun little game with outstanding visuals. It's a bit of a shame though that once you got six bullets in your revolver, the game basically just becomes "don't miss the targets or you will make the game harder on yourself". Not sure what would be an appropriate fix for that, though, as having enemies drop bullets is sort of mandatory.

Roll of the Dice's CottontailThis game is just great in every way haha. I loved the art style, the concept and the difficulty curve! My dream is now to play this with a NES Zapper.

Roll and DIEThere's a lot of little details of polish here that go a long way, from the camera pan to the cloud of money enemies explode into to the feedback when a shot is done without a bullet compared to with one. This has a great gameplay loop that I could see myself playing for ages in a later iteration. I think for an arcade style game like this I would have liked to reach a point where the amount of enemies ramped up until it's almost overwhelming, leading to that hectic feeling of putting out one fire while another pops up. That said, I had a blast playing this. A great take on the theme and an immediately endearing art style

Spin The BarrelArt and gameplay are quite fun, though once I new how it worked I hardly needed the slow down barrel power (just keep shooting!), but that can probably be tweaked with some more time so only really a minor issue

Dragons' Dice-PilesYou've got top ratings from me tbh. It obviously has issues but nothing that a post jam update can't fix. The big guys perhaps move too much but it might be that I'm on a laptop. And I somehow glitched the animation stopping the wheel so I could still play after dead.
But all in all, this has been my fav so far. Going to my collection.
Super fun game, loved the music and art! Satisfying gun chamber gameplay, liked it a lot

Dickie RollemReally fun game. Might be one of my favorites in this jam. One thing I think you could’ve done was add a tutorial and possibly more enemy variety, but other than that it was really enjoyable to play!

Hungry FryWhat I wanted to do was add a train in the background that brings barrels or announces that new enemies will pop up. I'll probably work on the game in my freetime a little to have that feature. Also a tutorial would be nice. If I had more time I would add a little story that explains everything, but in general I agree.
This game looks awesome, gameplay is fun too. love the sprite fade. Great entry!!

A Liar's DiceSnake hitboxes could have been more forgiving, but great idea and excellent visuals

Roll A BladeThis is such a great submission! You've created a very enjoyable game. I actually found that the enemy bullet drops happened so often that I was able to play the game like a regular shooter and only sometimes found myself taking advantage of that right click mechanic, which I was actually sad about because it's such a clever mechanic. All and all though this is a huge highlight for me! Great job! <3
