Very interesting mechanics! Having to pick up bullets is creative and makes the game feel really unique.

Really solid foundation here. I personally would have liked it if the gameplay was a little faster. This sort of game would benefit from a more fast paced style - so faster movement, enemies and dice.
Overall it was quite fun and you could definitely take this game further!

Putt LuckThe art looks really nice and I like the little animations the enemies and the player have. But I feel like the gameplay is a bit too slow, it takes quite some time to be able to buy something in the shop.

Die, Dice, Die!25 tokens for a reroll is way too expensive! :D
Love the dices bounces, I wish they were a bit less random, and that subsequent bounces could do damages too, so I could try more trick shots :D.
With a bit more polish it could become a nice take on Vampire survivors/20 mn till dawn-like games. 👍

Role RollSaw one of the other comments saying they didn't like that the dice bounced off, which I don't agree with at all, that was my favorite part. I was trying to line my shots up perfectly so that the dice bounced right back at me and I could grab them again. Pretty fun and cool idea for a setting.

Dungeon DiePretty cool, I think the store should automatically open after a wave is finished. I liked the art and how the cards would chase you in a wall.

Galactic Dice RollDefinitely could have benefitted from some sound, but otherwise I think the game gets kind of repetitive since you have to pick up dice after you throw them. Personally I would opt for a cooldown next time, as right now it feels odd kiting enemies when you have no more dice and need to pick them back up.
I really like that as a die you have a dodge roll, good animation with it too!
Please try our game as well! :)

Crapshot SaloonI really like the character designs, though I wish the shop was a bit cheaper, It didn't really feel like I got to explore switching out my loadout soon enough. 100% my favorite part is the artwork and sprites!

Royal DiceReally solid concept; I think it's drawn from the theme in all the right ways, mechanically and aesthetically. The lack of sound is a bit of a shame, as I think it could really enhance the setting and/or general vibe, but that certainly hasn't stopped your vision from shining through!
