Really interesting and satisfying to play, I always had to think fast which dice I want to use for which enemy, and the fact that I could only change the order of the dice in the left hand meant that I had to plan in advance. The game also looks amazing visually. Great job!
Edit: I only just noticed the interacteable spin wheel in the background from reading the comments, wow!
Thank you Miniver! yes we did not have the time to put visual incentive on the wheel (same on the slot machines that you can trigger as well ;) )
Simple gameplay but really satisfying, and really polished. I enjoyed my time with, good job!
Thank you Gatlink!
Great presentation ! I like the idea of the roulette on the background even though I quickly ran out of time to shoot it ahah
Thank you Crazypo! you can trigger as well the slot machines ;) while it's taking time and dices it may help to survive longer :)
So beautiful! My favourite part is definitely the hands, a genius indicator of what dice are coming. The randomness is definitely adjusted so that the enemies match your dice more often, which is for sure a good thing! The roulette is fun as well. Greatly thought out, maybe the difficulty feels like it ramps up very suddenly, but an amazing job!
Thank you very much Tonyl! About the dice matching the enemies, indeed this was one of the tweak we managed to add before shipping. For the ramp-up yes we would have loved to tweak that a bit better :)
I really loved animations and art. Good job!
by the way could you play and rate my game?
Thank you very much for playing our game! Will try yours for sure ;)
really lovely animation and visuals! the hands working the dice was delightful to watch! I kind of expected there to be a resource management aspect, like, reloading dice costs points, so you can't just fire willy nilly, and I figured the points you get from killing enemies would go back into gaining dice to shoot.
Thank you for playing! That's a good idea indeed :)
Wow! Really polished game. I accidentally discovered the interactable objects and they are the coolest part of the game for me. All of the animations are super nice and killing enemies feels really good. REALLY nice game, great job!
Thank you jorandp! I tried your game btw, it was very fun :D
Wow this feels really nice to play! The leaderboard is a pretty solid motivation to replay it! Only got 6k points at the end, but wow the game is nice. Amazing visuals, nice music, awesome mechanic. Rated 5-4-5 just because it was that good!
Thank you very much Yuuni :D
Congrats on you 6th place on the leaderboard!
I suddenly thought about your game just now, and realized that I forgot to mention something:
I have a very strong feeling that you deliberately coded the dice reloading mechanic to give most of the dice values that are needed to vanquish the current ghosts on screen. It might have been some kind of mad coincidence, but if I'm correct here, then you are extremely thoughtful just for that mechanic alone.
I was really impressed when I found out about the phenomenon and tested it, but somehow forgot to express my respect for it when I wrote my original comment.
You are absolutely correct about the reloading mechanic ;)
A very simple concept with a really great execution. Love the theme of haunted casino and floating hands tossing die like shuriken's. Making all your assets from scratch is really impressive.
we did a haunted hostel last jam, this one we are doing the casino from that hostel!! Thank you!
WOW this game is so stunning, the models and animations are superb, the audio design is fantastic, and the game overall feels really satisfying to play. Yall really hit it out of the park!
Thank you Pefeper! :)
Oh my god the animations are out of this world. I love them so much ! Audio and visuals are also on top. The gameplay is rather simple but pretty fun ! Graphically one of the prettiest games of the jam, and the best animation i've seen in a jam game ever. Outstanding job !
Thanks Hernz, i'm going to test your game, it looks fun :D
I really dig the presentation! The reload animation, the use of bloom, and the way the hands are animated is all really nice!
I would like to maybe see a more clear indication that you can hit the slot machines. The sound/feedback when hitting a ghost could also stand to be a bit punchier maybe. It would also be nice to be able to choose which die you throw from your hand, rather than just throwing the next one.
All things considered though, this game has lots of style and polish, and is a great interpretation of the theme. I'd love to see what this could turn into if fleshed out more :-)
Hi Michael!
thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated!
It's true we missed some time to improve the feedback, or add indication you could hit the slot machines or the wheel of fortune.
Not sur if you tried but you can shuffle the dice in your left hands using the right click.
cheers!
Ah, I totally missed that. I figured there might be away to do so. That's actually a neat way to go about it now that you mention it, since the randomness of the shuffle fits the theme
Very nice graphics. Shooting enemies with glowing dice was fun. :)
Thank you Morvis!
Holy crap YES!!! this would be a stellar VR game!! I love how the hands just flick the dice at the enemies!
Really cool game! Great visuals, audio, game feel etc. Would be really fun in VR as well I imagine. Great job!
Oh yeah! Can you imagine doing the shotgun mime reload thing in VR?! Awesome!!
Thanks for playing!
Really cool game! I liked the mechanics with using the reload to get the dice you want. I just wish there was some way to maybe swap the dice coming up next with the one in your hand, otherwise it feels like there's a little too much rng especially in the later levels. But overall, great game!
We indeed thought about swapping the right hand dice, we ended not doing it because we lacked the time :( (the hand animation would have needed some rework etc...)
Thanks for playing! I tested your game btw :D
What can I say, the game is very polished it looks good, it plays well it has a scorboard and is very addicitive, very good work !
Thanks for playing! I see you're in the top 15 on the leaderboard, good job on slaying these ghosts!
just perfect, enjoyed it as hell !
Oh no, the ghosts followed you on your way back from hell! Quick, grab some dices!!
Thank you!
Wow, just wow. Very polished, fun gameplay,.. I don't know what else to say. Maybe that I don't like shooting games, but maybe I do now?
Thank you Langosh! well in this case it's not only a shooting game, it's a bit strategic as choosing the right dice will help you being more efficient and may bring way more points ;)
Nice game, very polished !
Love the animations, Vfx and all the sounds :)
