Oliver the Dice MasterI really liked the game, but the beginning is always kind of slow. Once you get a bunch of power-ups the game gets really fun. Good job!

Roll The PathCharacters are super cute, the design is very unique, the fighting system is very solid and tight, rolling and shooting feels pretty good.
There are still something I dont understand, for example, why sometimes the distance of rolling is very short, and sometimes I cant shoot so I was hit(maybe reloading? but I cant reload if I roll to empty ground.)
When I was chasing by a lot of enemies, I hope I can just shoot nearby enemies, currently I cant kite and too many enemies are real threats.

Dice SurvivalI'm glad you enjoyed it.
The distance is short because you only roll the distance of the dice. If it says 1 on your head, you roll 1 square.
You reload by Rolling over enemies and you have 3 bullets. If you're out of bullets, you can't shoot until you roll over someone.
Making kiting difficult was part of the idea. I understand its frustrating but I didn't want this to just be another top down shorter, where you look like a dice. That wouldn't have been very creative in my opinion.
I hope you still enjoyed it and let me know if there are any ways i can describe the idea better! Thanks for playing
Once I figured out that rolling into enemies was the key, I got right into the game flow! I do think that having an enemy type which can attack you inbetween rolls is a bit contrary to the game's intentions, but otherwise this is a really underrated entry!

Gambler's Fall-acyGoing from not understanding how anything works to blazing through hordes of enemies in a few attempts and a couple of minutes felt really good.

Fight, DieHonestly, the only thing I wish this game had is a description of the powerups, everything else is perfect. The mechanics are simple and easy to get into but gameloop is just fire.
As a sidenote I really like that instead of putting player on a timer you went with a real time enemies to enforce movement, not only do they create tension, they also can be used for combos adding another layer of strategy. Great job!
