The Concept is great and it's fun...Loved the BG music .

rated your game buddy , it would meant a lot if you rate us too :)

Nice concept. Keeps you on edge. The more the dice faces appear, the more your brain slows down.

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed the music and the gameplay. Don’t forget to rate our game pleaseee!

Really simple game at first, but once more dices start appearing and it goes faster it actually becomes pretty fun! Really enjoyed it. The music fits really well. Good job! :D

At first i didn't get what's the challenge, but once it ramps up i understood and the game got into a nice groove of scanning the dice and clicking the right amount. I really enjoyed the gameplay loop, its very nicely polished and impressive for 3 day game jam. 

Most importantly the main action of shooting the dice was really satisfying and well done.

One of the best in the jam so far. Good job!

Developer

thank you so much!! thats exactly what we were aiming for, glad you enjoyed it :))

Nice gameplay you done amazing bro... We rated your game don't forget rate us!

Developer

thank you!

I played it, but it's obvious that the game needs much more time to be developed. I thought the game design was too simple? Nevertheless, well done!

Developer

hey thanks for playing! we decided since its a short jam to come up with a relatively simple arcade-y game loop and focus on trying to making it feel fun and polished rather than try and do something more elaborate. thanks for the feedback!!

The Game was fun. Functional look meets nice aesthetics

Developer

thank you so much!!

Hi! I don't think this is a creative interpretation of the theme. Are dice rolled in the game? - No. It doesn't really matter that 3 > 1. It's just skins.

The game does indeed have a leaderboard.

Developer

hi, thanks for playing! dice are in fact rolled and featured prominently in the game (see pic below) and they are rolled (both the wanted dice and the dice row) and the aim is to shoot when they match! would love for you to elaborate or explain your feedback of dice not being featured as, to me, it seems pretty unfair


Submitted

I'm saying that the game relates to the topic only superficially, formally. Replacing the dice with fruit wouldn't change the outcome. Whatever the skin, it can be randomly selected from a set.

The dice have their own values, but this doesn't affect gameplay. For example, if you roll a 3, you deal 3 damage to the enemy. Or if you roll a freeze, the enemy misses a turn. The dice have this specific feature, but it's not utilized. That's why I think that the game relates to the topic only superficially, formally.

P.S. If the fruit in my imaginary example had powers, it would be closer in meaning to a dice game.

Going with a western aesthetic was a perfect way to blend "Dice with shooting". Well done!

Developer

thank you!!

At first it didn't seem that difficult, but it turned out to be a game that requires skill while also managing to be simple. Also how to play section is very well done.

Developer

thanks so much!!

I think this is a solid entry, especially for something where the full scope of the game needs to be designed inside of a three day time constraint. 

Interactions are focused and clean, if a bit simple, but there's room to grow it in a more sophisticated direction later. I'm not sure a more developed version of this game would have the appeal and depth to do well on Steam, but it's an excellent game jam entry.

I got a little confused about wanted patterns. I intuitively thought that two wanted dice meant I needed to match that pattern, but it actually meant I needed to shoot either or separately. I think that could have been communicated more clearly somehow because I thought it was a bug and then looked it up later to find the rule.

I'm giving this one my highest rating so far because it's so simple, clean, and focused.

Developer(+1)

thank you so much!! agree, it could be clearer it's not a pattern. we tried a few things for the visual language of the wanted dice and ended up on this, but it could always be better. glad you liked it!

It was a simple, addictive game. I really enjoyed it though at the later levels I seemed to loose my life for no reason? Good game, made in the timeframe

Developer

thanks for playing! thats strange, you can lose life either by shooting when there are no wanted dice to shoot or the timer running out with wanted dice remaining. could it have been either of those?

This was so cool like I really enjoyed it, i thought it was easy at first then suddenly there were two wanted dice on the list, it was amazing

Developer

thank you! yea we wanted to start easy to get people familiar with what was going on then ramp it up. glad you enjoyed :))

Submitted(+1)

It was great thing to do it made the game so much more fun, so I am not complaining or anything it was a good game

Developer(+1)

ya dont worry i understood that, thanks :))

Submitted(+1)

daimn, this is soo addictive though i played till 3000+ but at moment of score submitting. it took score and name but never displayed
also at few last rounds, i have shoot right dices but it still take my life and i lost !!! 

Developer

thanks for playing! that's a shame, we haven't encountered that happening yet. do you know what you did more specifically so i can try and replicate it? would love to try and fix it

Submitted(+1)

nice and simple, i love it

Developer

thank you!!

Submitted(+2)

I had no idea the world needed and olde-timey saloon shooter click game, but it did! You did an outstanding job with the sound effects and visual UI in this game, and the difficulty ramped up quickly and cleanly too!

Developer

agree it's a bit of an out there idea lol, initially had the idea for the core game mechanic then giving it a western theme just came naturally lol. thanks for playing!!

Submitted(+2)

Seems easy at first and then gets tricky, very siemple but really fun!

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing!!

Submitted(+2)

It's simple and fun, and the difficulty level increases just enough to feel good.

Developer

thank you so much!!
