Absolutely 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.
Really 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!
Amazing art style! Congratulations on making such a solid game in just 2 days!
I like the game feel and the art, the shooting is so juicy.
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)
Your 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!

Well polished game ! Love the reloading animation :D
Very cool game! The dice mechanics for the type of the weapon is really interesting, well done!
A fun execution of the theme for sure. Just plain addictive.
Very polished! Loved the style.
a very fun and super stylish game! amazing character design really with great moody palette, the mechanic also felt great, amazing
The fact repeated double dices stack is SO GOOD.
Of all the twin-stick shooters I've seen in this jam, yours has the most balance between player control and luck
Awesome game! I had a lot of fun playing. It's something I could definetly see myself buying on steam as a full game with more content.
I wish there was some western-y music to go along with it.
Great job!
This was really good, and it seems like someone has played nuclear throne.
Can't Wait for the post-jam version, to see what you do with this game. So many synergies and possibilities are possible with the dice upgrades, so I'll be trying it out once it comes out.
This is a really fun Nuclear Throne style game. I love the gimmick and customizing your dice is really fun. I do wish the game had music playing, but considering the time limit it's understandable and the gameplay makes up for it.
We also made a Western themed game, hope you check it out!
Game is fantastic. One of the best games in this jam.
Fastpaced, hard and with some really cool animations (I could shoot the walls all day, just to look at that revolver reload animation!).
Great job!
Very cool and smooth. Love the graphics and simple sounds. Had a lot of fun running around gunning!
Amazing game and I love the art style!
