I think this is a very solid and enjoyable game that unfortunately does not really fit the theme. The only dice aspect to the game was the between rounds rolling for power ups, which if you changed out for simply giving a random set of three possible power-ups would behave the same way gameplay wise. It feels a lot like a really good game that was designed without the theme in mind and then the dice rolling piece was added in to try and meet the criteria.
Now, with that in mind, the game itself is well done. The controls are smooth and the concept solid if slightly unoriginal. Extra points for creating the artwork and music which, while simple, is very enjoyable and works great for a game like this. The animations as well, between scenes and such were great and added a lot of polish to it in my opinion.

Cool Little game !! :D loved the art and gameplay , easy to understand and play , Super polished game too , Good stuff overall and Nicely done !! :D
The best shooter i played yet, very cool ! and the animations of the menus are well polished :D
One of the best games I have tried. The art style is simple yet beatiful and the sound and music work very well together. Amazing work!
Very well polished shooter! Nothing more to say, very well done!
Some of the upgrades felt like it made my character worse. I had hoped the game would become more of a bullet hell in later stages, but for me, it stayed slightly slow and boring. One thing I liked was that stage 7 was an all-melee stage, just to switch things up. That kept me engaged for longer.
I really like the style of the game. Its challenging but fun. Nice job!
Doesn't really have something interesting with the dice, but the art and music is awesome !
Really well made! Feels great and looks great. You could expand on this by having pawer ups and enemies that change the gamplay, like having more variation with how your weapon evolves over time and have enemies behave differently. Seeing more obsticles and environments would be cool too.
All in all, I love the game! And definatly want to see more:)
Really well done, the atmosphere is great and I really like the roguelike concept. The game reminds me a bit of Risk of Rain from the atmosphere!
Great Presentation! I love the color palette and the moment to moment feels really solid! Nicely Done!
Loved the background! Really liked the gameplay and sound. The dice effects are cool and keep levels interesting.
Good jod
This is game is genuinely fun and it's quite balanced despite the random cards. Choosing your own card customizations makes you feel like your decisions matter and the re-playability is great. The game is also very beautiful and the music is to die for. Very nice work!
