Great game! Feels very responsive and satisfying, feedback is great using ui and in game effects, the green goblings propably gave me the biggest scare of my life!

Developer

Yeah they're scary! Thanks for the feedback!

Your welcome!

Shooting feels satisfying.  I missed my dice most of time I think enemies moves a bit too fast maybe ? :/ (or maybe im noob)  Pixel arts suits very well for the game. Animations are very smooth. Thats was a good experience for me I had very good time. Congrats to you and your team ^^

Developer

Thank you a lot for the feedback!

The concept is good, but combat escalated way too quickly and was overrun on the third area. I also felt like my dice throwing was a little off; maybe something about the dice hitbox when it spawns?

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Maybe the throwing feeling off was because of the random spread? We will try to improve the balancing, difficulty, level design and enemy placement in the future.

Really interesting idea!The aiming was a bit wonky sometimes and I got out of ammo really fast but other than that pretty nice!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! We will adjust the gameplay in the future so that you get more ammo

I love this idea and it is an amazing game! The only bad thing is that the sound design, but with a little more time, you can make an excellent game :)

Developer

I'm kissing your heart, vallah billa!

Excellent entry, with just a bit more of sound design that would have been perfect! Really like the concep and the gameplay of your game, good job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah we unfortunately didn't have time to include the sound effects I recorded, but we will implement them in a post-jam version. Thank you for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Nice visuals and music; with a very creative way to incorporate the theme. The difficulty curve was a bit much for me personally with the amount of time I had but it was still quite enjoyable. 

Overall nice work! 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We will have to adjust the balancing and difficulty a bit.

i love the overall aesthetics. i like how something happens whether you hit or miss enemies. great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

The art, animation, and overall presentation  is phenomenal! I thought the combat felt smooth although I was also missing a lot of my shots with the bullet spread  but I   had a fun  time playing.  I will say it gets pretty difficult pretty fast,  but I  like that you had checkpoints instead of sending me back to the very beginning because I would have given up much sooner.   I also liked how the dice would bounce off of walls, I thought that was a cool addition. But once you shoot your dice you are pretty defenseless until they come back or you pick them up, I  think something like  a dodge roll would be nice to help  the player avoid taking damage while they rush to  pick up their dice. Overall, a fun challenging game with incredible visuals.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the detailed feedback! The dodgeroll is a great idea and we might implement it in a future version!

Submitted

I was missing 90 % and I got so many random effects :D I had fun playing it!

Developer

Thanks! Glad that you liked it!

Wow! Your game is very nice. The graphics are beautiful, a great viriety of enemies, the visual feedback for the player is usually good.

There could be just some more feedback when getting damaged (a little screenshake maybe). And it is hard to hit the enemies sometimes lol

Thanks for the game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! We would like to add more audio and visual feedback for stuff like that, we unfortunately didn't have enough time to implement a lot of it.

Submitted

I totally get it, 48h is a short time :)

We found similar problems of not being able to add all things we wanted due to time constrains.

Great job!

Submitted(+1)

We appear to have made somewhat similar games.

I like your graphics and that the enemies very clearly have distinct behavior from each other.

Developer

Indeed, we had a similar idea lol. Thanks for playing and giving feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Cool pixel artstyle and idea. The only thing that I missed were sound effects.

Developer(+3)

We made sound effects, but unfortunately didn't have the time to implement them, we are going to make a polished post jam version with them though.

Submitted(+1)

I liked the idea and the art but the combat felt way too fast and the aiming felt a little off. Maybe that was sort of on purpose to be random?

Developer(+2)

Yeah, we wanted to make it so that you have to make decisions very quickly on what dice you roll and which you attack with. Also some dice are more precise then others. We wanted to implement more dice, but we didn't have time

The quality of the presentation and enjoyability of this game are just astonishing. The pixel art is really amazing... Outstanding work!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

The pixel art must have taken quite a while... It definitely paid off, though!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game I think it would be cool to have his "ammo" full when respawning 

Developer

Yeah, we unfortunately forgot that, would have been an easy fix... Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

What a delightfull game. The art was amazing and was music pleasent. I also think that the concept was a great idea. Although the difficulty was very hard for me to manage I had very much fun.

Very cool entry ^_^

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! We will try and adjust the difficulty and balancing.

Submitted(+1)

Very very pretty and creative! The idea of using the dice as either attacks or supportive abilities was really pleasant. and the graphics were downright gorgeous. nicely done! I just wish there was more feedback on hit, in addition the difficulty gets too high, and because the enemy bullets are too fast you cant just 'touhou' the enemy bullets all that easily. Still fun though!

Developer(+1)

Yeah those are things we didn't quite have enough time to get right, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Really liked the experience. great work!!
I just miss some feedback on the dice effects and the game is a bit hard 😥

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah those are things we would have wanted to fix if we had had more time
