Feels like I am constantly moving up due to the background.
The game plays smoothly and the shots feels really nice.
Simple yet very enjoyable, well done !

Game was fun to play and the dice mechanic is really well done. May need to tune down the camera shake tho but besides from that, Good job!

Submitted

The idea is really good but I would like have more control over the shots :)

It is easy to start playing and you don't need any special introduction and guides to play which is good!)

Sometimes it is easy to break you mind before you can actually star playing but not with this game!

Neat, fun and well-polished!

Oh man this was awesome!! Simple... yet great!

Really creative idea with the theme! I loved the roll for the amount of shots and then the color determining the type of shots. It also felt really smooth and "juciy" to play like Mark sometimes says. Very great design and very addictive! It's actually pretty similar to my jam entry (top-down shooter as a mage with random spells) so I like seeing games similar to mine to play!! I really don't have anything bad to say about this. The only neutral thing is maybe the game is a tad easy, I didn't take any damage until score ~7000, then I did die around ~7500. I don't think that's a problem though. I'd say its better to have an easy game that's fun than a hard game that's feels too punishing.

Fantastic work on this! Also yellow die was my favorite!!

I feel dizzy lol.

I think the game could be improved greatly if you included an actual background. Right now the non-existent background in combination with the really fast camera makes the game super disorienting to play. Shooting-mechanics felt good otherwise and the dice mechanic didn't feel too unfair despite being random. Good job on your jam entry!

Feels so nice to play and the idea was super cool!

Amazing idea. A great idea for a shooter that feels great to play. I'm glad you also added different fire patterns not just the random shot count.

Overall this was very well made!

Submitted

This is pretty fun to play and feels great to control. It's easy to learn too, so anyone can just play without the need for a tutorial.

Simple but very fun arcade. My suggestion would be to add progression like in vampire survivors. For example you could have multiple dice, dice multipliers, stashing dice, etc. This can be expanded indefinitely.

the shooting of the gun was satisfying to watch and i was excited to see what kind of bullets i would get on the next roll

This game was EPIC! It was really polished, satisfying, and well implemented. It was a simple game, meaning I could just hop in and play with no tutorial! I could easily see myself playing for AGES! However, it was quite empty at parts, maybe have a wave system? Also, an upgrade system would be fun! Additionally, using [space] to shoot would give the player more control, rather than just walking away. Overall, though, one of the best games I've played so far!

Great gameplay, great visuals, really creative ideas. Loved it awesome.

The shooting feels very nice, but I think having it randomly shoot means I end up just running away from monsters without much real control or skill involved.

Fun game!
