The movement is nice and snappy, but after the first death I couldn't continue playing without reloading.

Developer

Oh no! Didn't notice that bug until after I submitted, but I'll hopefully fix it! Thanks for playing!

Fun mechanic! I know the sound was pre-existing, but I think you picked good sounds and music and used them in the right ways to make the game feel juicy.

I liked that all the characters were dice, and I liked how I could see my health indicated by the face on my die. I wish there had also been some kind of health indicator on enemies to communicate how much health they had, because without that it just felt like I had to keep pumping dice at them until they died. I could see enemies were different die faces, but I couldn't figure out if there was any particular meaning to that, each enemy seemed capable of shooting the game's various weapons.

Also, not sure if I missed something, but it seemed, visually, like my dice bullets were always a d6 rolling 1-6, even when I had weapons that shot non-d6s or d6s that rolled specific numbers (at least that's how I interpreted the weapon graphics).

Movement felt quite smooth! A minor gripe is that it was easy to get shot multiple times because there was no grace period of invulnerability between hits, so getting caught in a flurry of bullets is pretty easy. That's possibly more a personal preference, though.

Oh, and I couldn't figure out much about how the score was determined because there was no indication of how my score increased throughout the game. A display that shows when doing something that scores points would have been helpful.

Great game, well done!

Thanks so much for playing my game and leaving feedback, I really appreciate it!

Yes I agree, ideally I should of had some sort of uniform health display for both player and enemy. Same with the dice bullets, the sprite means nothing gameplay-wise, it can all get quite confusing! The damage grace period is a great idea thanks!

Fun to play, and I like the premise! The crunchy sfx are a joy, and the artstyle is very visually clear. It's fun to try the different weapons.

Amazing game! I've played a few games like this so far, but this one works way better. It's simple but a lot of fun! I like how unique every weapon is! It's crazy how polished this ended up!

Developer

Hey thanks so much! I tried to think a bit smaller than my previous years to hopefully make a better end product so I appreciate you saying that!

Very polished game overall great job, I had a blast playing the game

This was super super SUPER fun.  I really enjoyed it, if I recall correctly, within 3 seconds my brain was just saying "yesssssss".

Now for the critique part: It was a big confusing how it felt like my health counted down by 1 every time I got hit, but the enemy health felt like it had no correlation their health.  I could be wrong on this - just it wasn't very clear to me.

Overall though, really well done!  I had a blast. :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and giving feedback! I hear you on that yeah, think I confused things by having different rules for the player and enemies. All enemies dish out 1 damage and have 10 base health themselves but I don't really purvey that anyway.

Thanks again for all that! Glad you had a blast haha

remember you from previous jams and this is such a step up! very polished

Developer

No way! Thanks a lot for playing again haha

getting random weapon choices is cool, but I think that having weapon damage randomized to this extent just made the game more frustrating without adding anything to it. like, I never want to get hit anyways, so getting hit just "sometimes" ends my run. I think the game moves too fast for me to actually read the dice coming at me and make strategic decisions, for example, to move left to avoid a 6 coming at me, and just get hit by a 1.

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to play and leave your feedback!

I take note of what you're saying and I think it highlights a major flaw which is readability. For example all enemies do a flat 1 damage to the player despite the 'bullet-dice' displaying values; that's just purely cosmetic. Whereas the players dice sprite represents your health and I see how it could get confusing that don't just follow one rule.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Love the 70's aesthetic and felt you guys had reeeally solid presentation. I loved the cheese of it all.

Developer

Ha thanks, that means a lot! Cheese is always at the top of my priorities.

Pretty interesting mechanics! I liked having the number on my die be the health. I would've liked to explore more diverse rooms but great work regardless! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and leaving feedback! I’d love to make more rooms in the future!

I loved reading about the probability police in the description - it really made me laugh. The character was really good, especially seeing him die.

As for the game, it was good. I liked how your health was shown by the dice number and it would have been cool if this was true for the enemies too. But then again, having a different dice face for each enemy type was also a smart decision.

Overall this was a neat little shooter. Great job!

I like the replayability. I also particularly enjoyed the death screen. Great work.

Developer

A lovely shooting game with beautiful graphics. I've discovered that when I move, the enemy moves with me.

Come and try our game too if you like!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah I totally will!

I clicked this because the icon and name were hilarious and I found myself having a cheeky smile the whole time I was playing. I'm quite bad at anything even remotely similar to bullet hell so I didn't do so well, but it's worth it because I loved seeing the corpse of old Bobby splayed out on the floor.

RIP Bobby. He died for our entertainment.

Fun game! The overall style and presentation are great. The zoom out death effect is fun! Had a lot of fun, played several runs. Great variety with different enemy types and weapons! Edit: Spelling
