I got 2x shot on every die side except for one grenade launcher. 10/10 strategy, would die trying to shoot again. Absolutely epic game. I didn't hear any music, which I think would've really boosted the experience, but otherwise this is quite epic. :)

So clean and polished! Definitely one of the best games in this jam!

Probably one of the best games I've played so far, really liked the combat and visuals.

I loved this game! Art style is great with juicy screen shake! Being able to replace die faces as the game goes on was also a very clever application of the dice theme. I think I'll come back and play this again some time!

Submitted

Great gameplay, I would like to see where you guys go from here for this game.

Bullet hell gang 😎🤝😎
Awesome art and style, creative implementation of the theme and, of couse, perfect presentation. That's a great game for sure.
Congrats, great job!

Very impessive! Cool coherent visuals, good feeling movement and very satisfying shooting. A theme is clearly there - your every shot is random. 
Stuck at the Level 3, big bois instantly crushed my shiny shotgun build. Next time i will try sniper build and make them pay! You nailed the heart of every roguelike game - the itching feeling to start again.

this feels like a full-release level game. of all the random weapon entries i've played in this jam, this one does it best by far! one of my favorite entries for both the exquisite art and satisfying gameplay. amazing work on this!

Submitted

Amazing game! Main mechanic is great, art is great, sound is great. The one thing I wish there was is more feedback when you get hit because sometimes I wouldn't be paying attention to the healthbar and didn't even realize that I was on low health. That's just a small complaint though, the rest of the game is great and it's one of my favorite submissions so far!

This game is so hard but it's so fun! I love the art style. I normally don't play bullet hell games but this one is so fun and really captured me. I love the choice of which gun upgrades to actually add to your die!

Submitted

One of my favorite games I've played. It's really challenging, but very fun.

Rocks, rocks, rocks - the mayhem dodging shots when you've loaded your dice with too many 2x and damage boost faces followed by the chaos when you actually fire a shot is incredibly fun. The gameplay loop is extremely solid.

Amazing game, just sunk an hour into it! would easily pay for this game with a few more levels, should upload it to steam

My favorite jam game so far! I like that you took the randomness and made it controllable as I was in charge of choosing my own powers.

I've seen the face swap mechanic a few times, but so far this game does it best.

A nuclear throne style top down shooter. I've seen some games that reroll the dice when you dodge/roll so you could possibly implement that as well.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. This game is a handful of QoL tweaks from being a full commercial title. Gameplay is juicy, sounds are great, and mechanics work well without needing a bunch of explanation. 

Pick up and play. Only downside is this isn't playable in browser.

I would buy this on switch. If you dont make this a full game im gonna be so mad

Submitted
