Beat the game twice, its got charm and a kickass soundtrack. Here is my review:
I really like the idea of rolling for ammo, and the actual act of fighting the boss was pretty fun. The only thing is at first i thought when I landed I was dying and restarting the game, so it might be wise to put a notice in the page of the game to explain that, or update the game after the jam. However i quickly figured it out and once I did, I started to make good progress. I have to say i found the moment of victory really rewarding since all those little dice spawn. I also really like the victory image. Props to you for also having a clear UI system. My one last piece of feedback is that the boss' health bar is partially obstructed on the web build, it is not a big deal, and I understand how frustrating resolution setups can be when it comes to UI. Overall, good work it was a fun little game
-edit- I also really loved launching the dice, i forgot to mention that, very satisfying.
Thanks for the useful feedback! I'm glad you found the main mechanic satisfying to play with, and my brother will be happy to hear you liked the art (and the music, he picked it). Yeah, the UI was almost game breaking untill I mostly fixed it with only half an hour to spare. But again, thanks for playing and leaving this feedback.
That's a very beautiful game that has got a very cool vibe going! The gameplay is pretty straightforward and you can kill the boss pretty fast, but that's alright for a jam game. Having different moves for the boss and abilities for the player might change that. Great job for the jam though!
Thanks for coming to my stream! I'll post a link to recording here once it's processed
BTW there's still no full screen button visible on the web version so you might want to fix that viewport height ;)
Thanks for the feedback! The stream was great, it was fun to be there and it was super helpful. Thanks to you I finally fixed the resolution problems, which means now I can do it right for the next jam. So thanks for playing and giving such great feedback!
Here's the recording
Viewport looking good now :)The drawings are so nice and cute! I love it. It's a fun little game. Really cool. Keep it up!
Thanks, we're glad you liked it!
This game's art was really good and the gameplay was really good too !! Presentation was top notch too !! Props to you good job !! :D
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay!
Loved the art and style of the game.
Great job.
Would love to see you create more levels for the game in the future
Thanks, the art really was the best part. More things to do definitely would be cool. Thanks for playing and leaving feedback!
Really fun game, good job!
Thanks!
The artwork of this game is really cool
Thanks!
I like the concept, and the idea of your previous run affecting your next is cool. I also think the art has a really cool style to it, and the idea of a boss that's a construct of dice is also very creative.
I'd like to see where this could go with more time and more polish. It definitely seems like a concept with potential. (As a note, I also had web version issues, but the Linux version ran just fine :) )
Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you liked the concept and art. And thanks for letting me know that you had an issue with the web version, now I'll make sure to always make a Linux build with any web build. Thanks for playing!
I love the physics of rolling up the ramp and going flying! There are some pretty major issues with the presentation, specifically the dice being very small, but other than that it's well made.
Thanks for the feedback, we're glad you liked it!
The lack of air controls is a bit annoying. I think this game could have had a little more depth if you could dodge the projectiles. Also, the first time I teleported back I thought I had died, and it wasn't super clear what was happening. Other then that, the artstyle is very good, and its a good concept! Fun game!
Completely understandable that it was a little annoying, thanks for letting me know. And thanks for playing and leaving such constructive feedback!
Nice boss that sencronise with beat, and also dices in the victory screen are very cute :D nice work buddy!
Thanks! We're glad you liked it!
The UI was a bit cut off so it took me a few tries to beat the boss but I was able too. I really like the art style and use of dice throughout. With some polish this could a really fun little game, good work!
Thanks! Oh yeah, I didn't realize that the cut off edges would have that effect. I definitely should have done a browser playtest before it was too late. But in any case I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Very nice presentation, and an interesting idea. Good job getting it done :)
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed the idea and presentation.
Browser version didnt work. Thanks for providing linux build.
Fun game, but felt like the controls after the launch are a bit weak, it was hard to avoid the projectiles.
Yes I must confess I ran out of time for adding air control, so there was actually none. The idea was that the player would shoot the projectiles coming at them, but in playtesting it was just easier to start over and get good RNG. And thanks for letting me know the Linux build was useful, it was a last second decision. In any case, thanks so much for playing and leaving feedback!
Nice game. Bummer that the browser version didn't work though.
Oh wow that is a bummer. This was the first jam where I got the browser version to work for me, I wish it worked for everyone. But thanks for leaving the feedback. Although I do wonder, is your computer old, or are you using Linux or something? I was just wondering for future reference, so maybe I could prevent it.
On the contrary, I have a fairly high end computer running Windows 11.
Edit: upon closer inspection, it's actually running correctly once I enter full screen. I couldn't tell that it was working as intended because it crops a large portion off the screen when it's not in full screen.
That's good to hear! Thanks for letting me know, that's one more thing that will be off my mind in the next jam. Next time I'll make sure the screen resolution isn't broken. Thanks!
The player was a bit small and hard to see. Maybe a bullet counter could be nice? And it felt a bit long before a "round" stopped. For example, most of the time I shot all my bullets at the start and then had to wait like 5 seconds doing nothing. Not too big of a deal, but I'm kinda curious how you calculate that time. Great game tho and I really like the music.
That point about the round lasting too long is a good one. I probably should have tried to speed up time after you finish shooting. But to satiate your curiosity the reason it took so long was because it's waiting for the die to stop rolling, and take the number that's on it. Though that's definitely not obvious with how far the camera is from the dice. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for leaving such constructive feedback!
Nice art, on my machine the beast nodded to the beat which made it very impressive. It took me a while to understand that the dice is on the bottom left. But once I got it, it was an enjoyable game. Thanks for the experience!
Thanks for the positive feedback! Yeah the boss's head bobbing was at first just a really exaggerated idle animation, then we chose some music and all of a sudden he was dancing. Glad you had fun!
nice game, art design is very pretty!
Thank you!
Nice game, the web version viewport is a little too small, but still playable, music is very rad :D
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the music, my brother picked it. And yeah, I wish I figured out the viewport problem before submissions closed.
I liked the art in this one :) I think the Web version's window is a little smaller than what the game is trying to display, but the windows version worked fine.
We're glad you liked the art, I really liked how that part of the game came out. And I'm glad that window being not wide enough didn't hinder you. Thanks for playing!
