I think the main strength of this game is gameplay. You can acomplish something with a very simple mechanic and dice just add to that. There is also cool stuff to be done with the dice.. What I didn't enjoy is enemies spawning on my back.

The dice mechanic is so good, maybe some polish and it would be such a cool game.

Very fun! It is a very creative mechanic, and I enjoyed the gameplay! Good game:)

Submitted

It's a very decent game, I wish there was some sort of warning when monsters spawn, lots of times they spawned behind without me knowing. I really like the random effect of dices, they can even trigger themselves, that can make some cool combos. Good job!

Submitted

Cool game. The dice mechanics are pretty neat. Well done!

Submitted

Decent game however youre literally unable to die due to the fact that the revolver can fire just as fast as you can click so there is no reason to use the dices

Developer

It is a jam game dude, i didn`t have time to implement the reload feature for gun, so if you don`t exploit that missing feature you can do pretty cool things with dices. Anyway thank you for playing.

I wouldnt notice that if it wasnt a core mechanic, plus implementing a timer is 3 minutes of work, but still its just feedback you dont need to explain to me its a jam, feedback is there to help you improve not to attack you sorry if i conveyed it in a impolite manner:(

A simple but effective shooting game. Using dice power-ups feels very satisfying. Maybe you can add some kill animations to creatures. It can be much more fun ^^ Nice work

I got a highscore of 2220. It was fun sniping all the enemies from the corner, though I don't think that was the intended method to win. I could have gone on forever, but I knew I was cheating. Still, this was a very fun shooter.

Self Promotion: I'd be very grateful if you would try my game too.

Got an 8490 highscore. I like the lucky block idea

Wow thank you nice score, actually you can shoot proper faces to get special effects, first turning of dice is based on luck. I guess it is not understand well in first play, thank you for your feedback :D

Oh ok that makes sense.

Submitted

I dont understand how this fits the theme

Developer

In game you roll the dice in front of you and shoot the sides of the dice  to get special effect,  game's main mechanic is come from "Roll of the Dice".

l lost my time sense while playing ı played like an hour and half.I love the game mechanic

Submitted

Interesting game, but was a bit confusing at first. I think pictograms instead of dots on the dice faces would have made it a bit more intuitive.

Developer

I absolutely agree with you, tried to find correct icons but can't find proper ones, and leave it in this way, Thank you for your feedback.

Submitted

Overall I enjoyed this game. It was a bit chaotic at the beginning but when I learned how it works, it got interesting.

Nice take on the jam's theme and well done :)

Submitted

Nice game. I didn't understand at first that I had control over what happened by shooting the correct side of the dice, I expected it to be random based on how it "rolled". But once I figured that out, i could plan ahead a bit more. :D It's a nice simplistic shooter overall.

Cool game, I really like the idea of using dice as 'lucky blocks'!
There are a few bugs tho (which is honestly expected from a game jam) such as jumping on top of the giants to avoid all damage and form an endlessly growing, controllable tower which was really fun to mess around with but obviously not intended lol
Overall though it's a pretty cool and unique game for the time limit!
