Very polished, really cool visuals, and crunchy gameplay - congrats! Very nice work. I did find that, at least the way I was playing it, the combat was a bit too spammy, and some dice with longer cooldowns didn’t feel that useful. Maybe turn down the number of enemies and focus on tactical use of dice? Might just be me though. Either way, great game, and very addictive!

The visual effects are amazing and the gameplay is really fun! It might benefit from making the bullets and enemies a bit more distinct from each other - it was difficult to see what I should actually be shooting at on the later waves.

The level of polish is crazy, one of the best so far!

I have finished it twice an still have problem understanding what does what, except for the obvious... I couldn't tell if the cooldowns were faster with the speedy dice, couldn't see what the heavy dice or strong launcher does, I tough the double dice would double the number of dices I throw but didn't really see that. Also some balance issues, I couldn't really find a better strategy than black explosion + shrapnel and hold the 2 mouse buttons down, the others have too long cooldowns and the big dice effects didn't seem to impact the gameplay.

However, this was super fun to play and amazingly executed graphically, with the sound design and the gameplay loop, fantastic job!

Speedy dice increases throwing speed by 5% I think, which isn't really noticeable

Heavy dice has about a 1% chance to spawn a black hole (had to nerf that, it used to be on 5%)

Double dice gives a chance to throw two dice when you throw one.

I agree with the dice balancing issue, and ^^ those were added around the last hour, so they were kinda rushed.

Very fun and has a a very good feel to it especially in sound with the sound effect.

Maybe add the ability to have more dices to throw as once you have two good ones not a lot of motivation to go get new ones


but still really good game

The visuals are exceptional. Love the pixelized aesthetic.
Gameplay is very fun too. I think it would benefit from zooming the camera out a bit and having enemies spawn further away giving more time to react.
