Very nice concept! I like the vibe of your game. My score was 70 btw

It's good. Gameplay feels solid. Having only 2 colors with a 6 sided die left me wondering about the missed potential, tho.

veeeery nicely done!

This is the juiciest game I seen in the jam so far, and I really enjoyed playing it! it doesn't feel very forgiving with getting killed though, I'd spend a ton of time spinning in place and land on a bad side after the coins have already caught up with me a lot.

Visuals are really satisfying

And the gameplay is also really fun.

Cool game.

I really like how you can hit the dice even when it's moving.

It's also really satisfying when you smash through a big group of coins.

Nice job!

Great! The game is crunchy and satisfying, and amost has a pac-man feel while your chasing the coins at one moment, then they're chasing you the next. Well done!

Oh, someone actually made dice bowling, good job!

+ Nice visual effects (trail, screen shake), suiting SFX 
+ balanced state of the die (disadvantage, neutral, advantage) 
+ the die changes its state decreasingly when there is no player input. otherwise, the game could be broken with a resting orange die. 

- no "Main Menu" button
- grey coin = 1 point, golden coin = 2 points? unclear

This game has an awesome feel to it. At first I was little confused by the rules and found it very difficult to survive but eventually got the hang of it.

My highscore was 296

I love the idea of the mode switch in this game between trying to avoid the coins like a classic zombie game then to becoming an unstoppable machine. The visuals and implementation of them all feel very nice to play with and getting a huge toss into a horde on orange mode is epic.  Maybe something for the future would be to incorporate some mechanics that take advantage of the dice number

Overall, great work guys.

Great mechanic and concept, had alot of fun playing your game.

Very satisfying to kill the enemy's, and the animations are good too. A little confusing at first but i got the hang of it eventually.

Really satisfying! I think the only game experience thing that can be cleaned up is it isn't clear what your number is if you quickly "chain" rolls together. It's fun to quickly bounce your die around, but the color will change to blue without clear warning.

Nice controls & fun gameplay. Great job!

Fun little game. Works pretty solid for what it is, but I feel like it's a bit difficult to react to turning blue.

The sound effects are really satisfying.
Getting a bunch of coins is satisfying.
It's a bit too easy to accidentally jump over coins.
Overall very fun.
