Cool idea to tie dodging and damage together, prevents the players to just continue dodging.
The upgrade system also adds a lot of satisfaction as you survive the enemy waves.
The lighting and design compliments the impact of your bullets.
Overall an enjoyable game, congrats on finishing the jam !

I really like how much control over the die faces you have. It was cool early on to be able to try and bounce between 2 good adjacent die faces before the game got too hectic.
The bloom effect was also very pretty!

The Dour Dice Tower (Jam Version)Really cool idea. The game looks very good. The updates gave the game some depth, good addition.

Speed MatchingAwesome shooter, I enjoyed playing! Especially loved the juiciness of the experience, and the cool dice movement. I agree with some other reviewers that mention balancing out enemy difficulty with player capability, I think that would make this game super fun and approachable!

Snake Eyes (Try Your Luck)Easy to understand the rules and good use of the die for both damage and card selection

Mining for a Good RollReally nice shooter game! The use of dice to display your life is really funny!
One remark, the movements of our dice are a bit slow which makes dodging complicated.

Rolling SpellsThe games really nice! The aesthetics are great + the different mechanics really compliment each other well. The different sides dealing more damage is really nice + the fact that people are limited from just camping sides as the d4s have barely enough time to get a shot off before they die leading people to need to dodge onto the 1 side.

Spellbound Rollersbalance feels a bit counter intuitive towards the game design (enemies shoot really fast making u unable to do anything but dodge but the game wants you to manipulate the die so u are doing as much dmg as possible), the shop felt like it was better to skip most of the time, and there were a couple extremely bullet spongey enemies. otherwise i think the concept for a topdown shooter like this is pretty cool and it's aesthetically pleasing, although falling off the table is a bit tilting

RO-LLReally cool game!
The gameplay is fun and the aestethics and particles are really good!
Loved the little wobble the Dice you control does when moving, it gives it a lot of personality for some reason.

Snakes and CheatersLove the particles and light effects! I wish your whole game had this aesthetic. The 3D looks really nice though.
For the gameplay: I enjoyed the easy shooting by pointing my mouse and moving with WASD, *but* I wish the dice would move a bit smoother. It felt way "heavier" than it looked. Another positive point: You can jump in the game and it's pretty self-explanatory :)
Overall, I enjoyed playing the game but the movement could be a bit smoother.

Griddlys TaleReally satisfying to play, and man, those graphics are crisp! 10/10 would terrorise tables again!

The Eternal WaitReally nice idea!As other people said the dodging is a bit hard but other than that I can see this getting expanded into a rouglike like Enter the gungeon!
Submitted
Dice BrawlersAwesome music and visuals! Was a little tough to dodge bullets, so maybe increasing the dice speed, but other than that really cool game!
