Really neat idea and the art style is amazing though u think making everyting out of 7 instead of 6 would be really nice though this would always give the play an extra second of move time
Found the game from the video you made. The game concept is very neat, and the execution of it is very well done. One suggestion I'd make is to change the time you get from a roll from "6 - X" to "7 - X" so that you always get some time from each roll. That's really important with the time slowdown as it currently works. Also, you could make the result not a number of seconds specifically, since up to 5 seconds to walk around between reloading can be an awfully long time (maybe half-seconds would be better?). Speaking of the slowdown, it seems kind of gratuitous the way it works now. Letting the player keep the slow motion by staying still after a roll is somewhat interesting, but I'm not sure it's all that meaningful. I'd personally prefer it if the slowdown only lasted as long as the dice roll. If it's kept the way it is, though, I think it needs to be easier to not accidentally deactivate the slowdown if you were holding a direction before the dice roll, either by making the roll al little longer or ignoring directions held before the roll. Also, I feel like the game could use some more audio-visual feedback. IMO, it should be more blatant what the roll was without having to either look away at the corners of the screen or at the small die gun, and there should be more feedback when you take damage, as it's not always immediately obvious that it happened. Overall, I really liked it, and I'm glad I found it.
Saw the vid on yt, cool game :D
Nice art and great gameplay :)
I liked the easily readable art and the music/sound effects! Very polished. However I ended up playing it like a regular twinstick shooter except that sometimes you slow down, can't move, or can't shoot which felt quite strange.
Creativity at it's best. Very smooth gameplay, nice art and huge potential.
Youtube recommended your video to me, it was interesting to see on how you came up with the mechanics in the game. Congrats on finishing the jam !
Got 910! Nice visuals and the slow mo is freaking awesome!! Congrats for the submission!
Really clever game design! I enjoyed it quite a bit. I found it from your YT channel.
Cute game! The cute pixel artstyle and the music fits very together. The difficulty curve was good, and the core mechanic of the game was quite unique and made with good instructions. However, something I have to say about the slow motion was that it sort of disrupts the flow of the game. Other than that, I like how the dice decides whether fight or flee. Interesting idea, and a cool game for being made in a short time! Well done!
I really like the gameplay <3 cute art and a good idea :3 <3 nice
Great game! I enjoy this game, Impressive game in such a short time. Great job!
Feel free to check my game if you want to challange your brain muscle!
A really fun game!
Fun game, but it gets boring after a while because the difficulty does not go up. Nice job!
Nicely done but as someone said earlier (I can’t find the comment now), the hitboxes on the tables and walls are kinda too large and breaks my bullet even though I am actually not even hitting the table/wall.
It is very enjoyable but not sure if it is the game or my laptop: there is certain part of the gameplay that it lags and freeze briefly
That is a feature of the game. Whenever you reload you get a certain amount of time to move (unless you roll a six). Before you move (if you have time), the game slows down. When you start moving though it speeds up again.
Very nice game concept and a very interesting way to fit the theme. Well done!
nice game
I am sorry to say most mechanics in this game are not satisfying and very not creative for me. Only moving and shooting mechanics are ok.
I have to say good job for the game idea. Even if it's not too good. But it's better than most entries that I have played.
