Fun game, I just think the connection to the theme isn't that obvious.

Cool idea. I missed the dice, maybe the theme is represented in the RNG behind the scenes. Leveling up took quite some time.
Not bad! The gameplay loop and inherently fun and addicting (I spent more time on this than I intended for sure) but as some others have said I don't see much of the jam theme in here at all. I guess the upgrades are random but at least for me I only had 4 of the same upgrade options each time I leveled up. Pretty bare bones, but quite fun for what it is!
I'm not seeing a strong connexion to the theme, but the game in itself is fun.
The controls feel good, and the fact that you have to slow down while reloading add some depth to the gameplay (as you don't want it to happend when ennemies sourround you)
The power-ups are good too, and I liked the fact you have to get back into the mass of ennemies to get the little blue pellets, instead of them going directly into the bar up the screen
Nice job =)
Nice game for the game jam, although it does kinda just feel like vampire survivors except you get slowed down every 10 seconds which is fine but i guess it would've been nice to see more of a twist than just the bullets are random. Maybe something like instead of rolling for the amount of bullets you roll for the type? so like you can roll for a spread shot or a railgun or something else and it lasts for 10secs then you roll again. But nevertheless good job :)
good and simple game there! it felt good to kill the enemies, eventhough I think the theme could be a bit stronger here. Still a fun game :)
I'm not that familiar with that kind of game so i can't comment on the execution of the game play. What I've noticed is that there doesn't seem to be knockback witch feels wrong to me.
very good job. It felt great to play. The only thing I noticed was the knockback did not seem to work. Other then that great submission
Very good, got to level 7 or 8 but encountered a bug where I couldn't select a powerup which in turn softlocked me :( Might have been that I was holding down the mouse button when the powerup triggered? Anyways, good submission!
Solid entry, gave me big 20 minutes till dawn vibes.
Well done on submitting.
I really enjoy vampire survivors so felt right at home with this, maybe could've seen more theme implementation though but overall really good job!
The different upgrades were cool, I think the volume for the sound effects could have been a bit lower though
Solid base. Would love to see it further developed. Maybe add collectables/power ups. Good job.
Cool job! but I missed the music and the variety of opponents. And the lack of a completion screen leaves some incompleteness inside me.
