Awesome game! From a fellow "interpret the theme as pick a gun" jammer, you did a great job delivering a fun game and the dice aspect of choosing what face the weapon is on is a clever idea. However, I don't know if this was a purposeful design decision, but I felt like the tiny platformer area was a little too small and limiting. Also, the jump felt a little weak and floaty, but the combat still felt great.
Thanks for playing :D
I can totally see where you are coming from, and admittedly, we ran out of time (there’s a reason the game doesn’t have music, and it’s mainly cause we only had 10m to pick them, cause everything was just so tightly managed time wise).
But i hope the jumps didn’t ruin the fun.
Again, Thanks again for playing!
Great game! Had fun playing it. Particularly like the care put into the gun animation, was a nice touch. I was a little bit confused by what choosing the sides was for though.
Thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it despite being confused! We didn't have the time to explain it properly, but the main weapon is a 4 sided dice, so that's why you have to pick what side the guns go on to - Different guns have different effects on the different numbered dice faces.
This was probably one of my favourite games so far! The game was just really fun to play! The graphics were really nice and I loved your unique interpretation of the theme!
I'm just sad you didn't have any music as I think that will stop you from getting the ranking you deserve
Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, I agree, I'm pretty sure not having music is gonna hurt a lot, but I'm glad you've enjoyed the game despite that!
Great game, your hard work shows! One small criticism, it would have been nice if the gun model held by the character changed when the weapon changed, but I understand thats a detail you likely didn't have time for. Overall, well done!
Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, I intentionally didn't make the gun model change, I just thought it was faster and was cooler for everything to come out of the same gun. Glad you liked the game!
Awesome game! the movement felt great the art too, however the boss was kinda easy.
But overall Great entry!
Glad you enjoyed the game :D
we will hopefully take that feedback in mind, thanks for playing the game!
Nice game but it's impossible to hit the smaller ones when they get on you
Thanks for playing :D
while it is technically speaking impossible to hit them if they are inside of you, you can always just move a little and shoot them.
But i can see your point, hope you enjoyed the game!
Cool game! Took me a way to figure that the side I choose is where the gun is. Different art and a little tutorial would have helped.
Thanks for the review! I'd have put in a how-to-play thing if I had the time, sadly.
I feel the graphics could be so much better with a color scheme.
I like the gameplay, the enemies feel kinda fun to fight.
The sound effects are too high pitch imo and they kinda hurt your ears, if you listen to them for too long.
Your take on the theme is pretty interesting, although the UI doesn't really explain to me how it all works and I had to read your page description.
The controls were pretty intuitive and I like that you don't have to click every time you wanna shoot and can just hold down the button.
Cool game :)
Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, a proper palette would've helped a lot, and I wish the mechanic was explained better ingame. Glad you found the controls intuitive though!
Really nice job on this one! I love how much polish there is, and also the variety in weapons. I think making the weapons have certain faces work better with them was a really good idea. My feedback is that I wish the player had a bit more manueverability, maybe double jumping or dashing. Also, maybe randomly picking a stage would make it a bit more "roguelike-y" than just going through the same levels over again.
Thanks for reviewing! I definitely agree that the player needed a double jump - I just forgot to implement it, hahaha. Didn't consider doing random levels, though, that's a good idea.
We are glad you enjoyed the game! :D
As my friend said below, we will try to take all of this feedback into consideration!
Thanks and have a great day :D
fun little platform shooter. wasn't sure how I picked a side? :)
Thanks for playing!
the way you pick a side is that, you have to choose which side of the dice gun does what (so say slot 1 is a pistol, slot 2 is a rocket launcher, etc).
So you are technically speaking picking a side
I Think The Game Is Really Great And Could Definatally Be Expanded Upon.
Thanks :D
The game is alright, I believe it needs a lot more polishing, music, and more enemy variety, tis an intresting concept, which can, greatley be expanded upon
Thanks for reviewing! Definitely agree, and I'm kinda considering pursuing a more polished version of it in the future.
Cool game, very fun to play. The variety of weapons is amazing. But why do all weapons look the same? Is that because of the time limitation?
Yup, we ran out of time and my artist wasn't available for most of the last day. I did try to add some minor variants myself though
That's a very interesting use of the theme right there! Great job on the visuals too!
The different weapons added more depth to the game, and were all a lot of fun!
Only thing I found to be missing was music, but other than that amazing work! Keep it up!
Thanks!
there is a reason as for no music, that being we ran out of time.
We will probably add them sometime later tbh, but thanks for pointing that out!
this game was really fun! the changing of the level and the graphics really made this game great! The guns were all really fun and well thought out and the enemy's were unique and cool. but I have to say the theme was a little lackluster. other than that though it was really fun! my favorite gun was definitely the flamethrower
Thanks!
i will say, theme wise it isn’t the best idea out there, but it is still within the theme (as you have to pick a side of the dice for your guns)
ohhhh I see what the theme is now! gotcha! the game was really good though. id appreciate it if you took a look at mine, no pressure though!
:D
i may check it out later, but as of right now, tbh, i am exhausted.
Maybe this weekend!
Nice!
ty!
