I love it!!!!! Best game ever!!! I love how you made it a random level generator so there's always something fresh, also there's all type of power ups like Shotgun or Triple Shot, I even found a Rocket Launcher and Crossbow. So good and so fun!!!

Really like this one. The game play loop is fun and the use of the dice being different guns is creative use of the theme

Battle Royal FlushI can definitely see a heavy influence from Nuclear Throne, as a big fan of that game, I definitely enjoyed my time playing this. Also, I think that the 6 shooter gun really fits the 6 sided dice rolls.
Never though of it that way, but it just makes sense.
Simple and crisp gameplay, one of the best that I have tried in this jam.
Good job !

Simple Ogre LuckNice idea and really good presentation!
You might wanna make a tutorial or highlight the crates better, beacause I played like 10 times before realising you can interact with them... But the customization was definitely fun! I once got a combo like x2-x2-x2-Tripple Shot which felt amazing, so I think combos should be expanded upon
Also I think a map would be really cool to know if there are still potential crates somewhere
Also I thought it was weird that bullets deal 2 damage... that means you sometimes die really quickly which felt a bit unfair

Word DicerReally fun and polished, great presentation! Would be nice if there was a bit more content, I think the game is just over after the stage clear (?)

Die Sorcerer!Ok this is incredible!
Amazingly down and extremely creative. The dice concept is kinda similar to my game (top-down shooter where spells change depending on dice rolls) but I really like how you have it where each shot roles to a different type of shot. And it was extra cool that you could customize the dice as well as you go long! Only slight complaint is it was kinda annoying to be attacked within half a second of starting the stage. Otherwise though this masterful.
Superb job you've done with this game!!

Mage McDuffy's Last BuffetAbsolutely insane stuff, the art is super pretty, and the gameplay feels tough in a good way! I wish I got more feedback for getting hit because I often wouldn't notice, and maybe some invincibility frames, I would often be doing just fine and then get hit by 4 bullets at once and get insta killed.

Mecha-D6Really well polished and feeling game! With a bit of music and a bit more late game variety this could become a really nice roguelike.
Nice Work!

Day of the Die- Randomly generated levels? Checked
- No I-Frames on hit? Checked
- Granade Launchers that will likely kill you? Checked
- First level is the desert level? Checked
- Lizard can Roll? Checked (roll the dice)
Yup, you've just made my favorite video game of all time and I am happy with that already. But for real this is a really solid game for a 2 day game jam and I am having a blast. The dice works well in this in this game too and I like that you allow players to alter the RNG. And given the chaotic nature of the game it fits very well too, I find myself taking weapons I would not take in Nuclear Throne just because it's up to pure RNG and it does not really matter.
A few things will say is the level complete flag is hard to find at times and the spawn point and enemy setup can be kind of brutal (but given the source inspiration of the game I can forgive that). But either way very good job on this one. A "little" more polish could take this game way further.
(PS: pls add screenshake)

Roll of GaiaYour artwork is CRAZY good! I love the aesthetic so much!
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of shooter games but the overall art style and animations made it fun to play!
