This game is fun. It has a nice aesthetic and some good juice ("POWER UP"). I gave it a few runs, and even though I think the max time is a bit too unforgiving at times, I had a blast.
The only feedback I would give is that I think the theme is underdeveloped. When you are killing so many objects in quick succession - each individual roll has little impact on the overall gaming experience. If each kill returned 3.5 seconds (the average of a D6) then I think the player experience would be essentially unchanged.
If you have time, I would appreciate your feedback of my game.
Thanks, glad you like our game.
The life time is a bit harsh on the gamejam version and it's been balanced more to the next iteration.
There was supposed to be more versatile and apparent mechanics to the dice but I ran out of time to implement them and went with the already working bare bones time adding mechanic.
Each kill gives 0.5 - 1.5 seconds more per kill though.
I loved this game.It was very fun!
by the way could you play and rate my game?
Thanks, glad you liked it.
I sure will check out and rate yours.
Fun arcade game with a really nice aesthetic! Was pretty addicting to play. The voice lines did get annoying after a few tries, though. Good job :)
Glad you liked our game.
I'll have a look into the voice line to have more variety in them for not being too much repetitive..
A Depowerup! Why would you do this to me!?! I died like 5 times before I realized there were any powerups in the game. Then I got so excited to try them. Very satisfying gameplay. The sound effects and voiceovers are just awesome. The fact that the credits popup if you sit there long enough was really cool too. This was a very well thought out game. Great job and good luck in the jam. 15/15 from me.
Yes depower ups are a thing for me...
Glad you liked the game.
Keep following for more, after the jam is over I'll upload a new version that has way more stuff included as well as more fine tuned balancing and I have plans to continue developing the game way further.
Nice arcade like game :) The narration is pretty funny :D
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The narration was fun to do and we already expanded from this and added way more voicelines to the dev build.
Had a fun time with this one! The gameplay loop was really enjoyable, and it's aesthetically really nice! Awesome job :)
Thanks, glad you liked it.
I really loved your game too.
Nice little arcadey game, easy to learn and stimulating to play
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Great job. Really nice game with a very simple and enjoyable game play loop.
Thanks, gald you lked it.
More to come after the jam, already made many improvements and additional content for it <3
Really nice! The voice acting was a little surprising and jarring, but overall it's a neat little shoot em up.
Thanks, glad you liked the game.
The voice acting is from using xVA Synth using Panam voice samples from cyberpunk 2077.
A nice to poop game! Short gameloop, easy to start, nice idea. I'm a bit sad I didn't push that much to see the boss but it's a bit too random, tho, it's SO hard to manage that in such a so short amount of time.
It's really nice to have some mobile feel games!
The game is already nicely polished, well done!

Thanks for reviewing the game, I've already balanced and fine tuned as well as built more content to the game just waiting for the jam to be over to upload it for everyone to enjoy.
Game feels great to play, music fits perfectly, and the voiceacting adds a lot.
I like that it's technically short and sweet - only 80 seconds. Difficulty however made it a 10 minute game, which I still haven't beat, and I think it's really good - making the game hard can be seen as a cheap way of generating playtime out of nothing, but in this case it always feels like I am learning and getting better, so it works.
The dice roll mechanic felt a bit underdeveloped. There is a die in the corner displaying how much time you will get from the next kill, and it is actually a valuable piece of information, that can be used in decision making, but it's position on the screen coupled with a somewhat lenghty roll animation and an extremly fast paced, punishing gameplay made it impossible to use. I am sure, there is a better way to convey this information to the player, like big transparent die in the background, or something like that.
Overall - great game. Aestetics are catchy and the gameplay is fun and addicting. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback and great breakdown. I appreciate this!
You got to the essence of what I intended about the game, easy fast to get in, always learning a trick or two for the next iteration yet still simple.
You are right, the dice mechanics delivery to the player is a bit lacking and out of sight, I had much more planned to it but ran out of time to implement the working versions of the mechanics.
I've kept developing and will continue to develop this game further, WAY further after the jam is over so keep following for more content which is more balanced and offers a lot of more playability and challenge.
Nice fast paste shooter. It took me some time to understand the mechanics, but once I played some games and read the description it was quite obvious. The upgrade(s) adds to to the game nice dynamic.
Nice that you liked the game.
Keep tabs on this there is a big update coming up after the jam and I will continue to developing the game much further.
Hey! We enjoyed playing this on stream yesterday. It was pretty challenging, but it was a really engaging shooter that works great as a mobile game! A couple times, a run felt kindof unfair due to enemy spawns and timing, but other than that we had a great time with this. Nice work!
Thanks for streaming it and so glad you liked it <3
Yea the gamejam version is a bit unfair and unbalanced but I'm continuing the development of it and majority of the balancing issues are already done just waiting for the jam to be over so I can upload the better version.
Really polished and fun to play. I think the idea behind the die adding on time was great, but it could've been made more clear, or just more explicit that it was controlling the time. Either way, great job!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The dice was supposed to have more profound and apparent meaning but I ran out of time and had to suffice for the bare bones mechanic.
I will add more to it on later iterations of the game...
I like this one ! Very nervous, nice graphics, great sounds... just a little bit too hard for me =D
Good job !
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The dev version is already more blanced than the gamejam release so you have to wait til the jam is over to get more of it in a balanced and more enjoyable manner. <3
Cool dynamic game ! For hardcore gamers ! Maybe you could add more importance to the dice mechanics ! Well done.
Nice that you liked the game.
There was supposed to be more dice mechanics implemented but I ran out of time to implement them and had to rely on the working base mechanics.
The game will be improved and expanded further after the jam is over, already much done but have to wait for the jam to be over to publish the latest version.
This game has a super strong vibe. Great game :)
Thanks, glad you liked it.
And it will have even more super strong vibes with more levels, musical tracks, voice lines, enemies etc developed to a full game later on.
Nice game, the first one that I've played with mobile support. Really cool stuff, although I would like to see the dice more involved. Great job!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The dice was supposed to have better and more apparent mechanics to it with different types of effects, but I ran out of time so I had to submit the bare bones dice implementation that worked.
I am continuing to develop the game and just waiting for the jam to end to upload the latest iteration <3
It'll be fun to see what you can make with no time crunch, will surely be playing the updated version!
Nice Space Invaders with randomness. Loved that there was a dev cheat in it. Helped me a lot, still couldn't finish it in 15 minutes. Graphics and Sound were decent and consistent. Definitely a nice game. Good Job.
Thanks, glad you liked our game <3
Will be continuing to develop it further to a full fledged game with way more content.
Haha, this is hardcore! Could be made into something really cool i think, but would need to be balanced out a bit more (maybe start off with some one-hit enemies, and have harder enemies give you more time, so you can have more of a progression curve). But very cool for a 48h project!
Thanks, glad you liked our game <3
The balancing is under works and on the dev version it is way more balanced already with loads of more content and survivability.
And I will be expanding from here with much more content, more ships to fly, with different fire patterns, more enemies, voicelines, levels etc.
Keep following for more updates after the jam is over.
