Excellent visuals and audio design. All of it meshed very well with each other and felt like a retro sidescroller with appropriate level of difficulty. I wish there was more to the rolling/reloading mechanic. It seemed like the less shots you had, the more powerful they were so it felt balanced, but that also made me not care what I rolled. Maybe if each shot was more varied depending on what you rolled would have been cooler, but that's asking for a lot in an already awesome Game Jam game. Overall, great job!

There is a JACKPOT ennemy that appeared in a seemingly random time. He followed me in all levels and it's unkillable and it ruined the entire fun of the game.

Always got troll'd by the fact how much I roll'd, because I never paid atention to it

What do you mean the falling coins are bad? And its written "jackpot" I imeditially ran to grab them lol

dude, this is very well made, the movement and pace is fluid, the mechanic is amazing, Ive seen a lot of games about dices weaponizing the player, but your method feels actually fun and not just random and frustrating. I would sugest you disallow dice rolls in a wall, because that allows me to span the roll until I get a six and only then I move forward, but still. Pretty awesome.

Congratulations for the solid submission!!

edit: I found out that on most early levels I can just run to the end, there should be a mechanic to avoid that

Neat! 😎

Managed to beat em all, the last two levels actually started giving me some challenge. Pretty much because I was impatient and not playing carefully enough...

The roll to reload mechanic was awesome. It's always a good idea to have these kinds of multi purpose functions. It added this cool requirement to not reload all willy-nilly. Also would have been cool to be able to dodge while mid jump.

The actual dice mechanic of it on the other hand was quite pointless. Getting a random amount of bullets yet still doing the same damage with em was just confusing. And since there was no time pressure or anything, you could even just keep rerolling against a wall to get the desired number (ie. 4 seemed like the optimal one).

The bullet counter UI was also a bit too dominantly placed. I would have tucked it in to top right corner for example to not be that much in the way. And yet the bullets running out always caught me off guard really. Some kind of audio cue (click) on trying to shoot when empty would have been awesome addition.

Other than that small nitpick, everything looked great! Very nice pixel art and clean animations. Well the explosion effect maybe was quite stock and bland. Didn't really mesh with the otherwise pixelated art direction. The music was jammin' and the sound effects, though just simple bleeps and bloops, had enough variety to not get monotonous and did their job well enough.

The controls felt good too. The player speed was good and the jumping felt great which isn't always a given in jam games. The only thing maybe to complain about (and wasn't anything big) was the shooting accuracy estimation while shooting on angles and it clipping on the box you were standing next to or shooting down from.

Anyways, good job! 👍 It left me wanting for more content and I did play the whole thing through at least twice. 😅

Art and polish are all amazing and the controller feels great! My only thing I would add is a bit of coyote time and the ability to dash in mid air, but these are just preference. Game is beautiful, responsive, and fun to play

Making the roll also reload was pretty genius, I also really loved how playing the game felt in general. Only criticisms would be the music got a little repetitive after a while, and level 5 seemed a decent bit harder than 6 so the diff curve was a lil odd there. Awesome game!
