Nicely done. The rythmic music helps you get into the 'just-one-more-game' feel each time you die (which is very often for me).

Nice quick game. Love the idea of dice vs poker chips and the movement and shooting were quite nice. The sound effects were very satisfying which made it feel good to shoot. I feel like the idea of randomly choosing you weapon is an interesting idea that can be expanded on but I don't think it adds enough value as of now. In my opinion, it would be better if each weapon were of somewhat equal strength so it forces you to think of new approaches of a single level instead of just wanting to die instantly for getting the spear. Even with that it's still quite a good game. The dice which can either increase or decrease you time was a very creative idea and makes you to choose whether it's worth the gamble. Overall, an engaging little game. Good luck on the jam!

Short and sweet. A little basic, and I think the spear is not worth keeping, but nice work the two of you.

Fun little game! Only having 1 life is harsh, would probably be a bit more enjoyable with a few more chances, maybe a way to gamble lives like you gamble time? Great concept thought, and good fun!

Cool game, fun but unforgiving gameplay

Good game, i like the art and the music really complements the games atmosphere, the movement feels good, although the spear is a lot worse than the gun so it makes it more likely for a reset if you have the spear.

Apart from that great game!

All weapons should be equally good or bad. The spear is just trash and practically forces a reset because you'll die anyway.

This is how i imagine a casino xD Cool little shooter! Nice variation of weapons although i am not sure what the difference between the spear and the pistol is. I like the idea of the enemy health is presented as their chip value :)
