cool game

 maybe if you update it make you able to select what dice you use eg 1d8 1d4 or 1d6.

I've never seen a mechanic quite like that. Makes you play in an unfamiliar way. Well done. Rated!

cool game

Why limited time moving it feels like a bug,  reloading time feels very long. The art style is very beautiful musing also. Overall nice game.

Submitted

Fun shooter game. I like the mechanic when you either shoot more or move longer. My high score is 990.

Submitted

Great submission! Loved the video as well, keep it up!

Submitted

Liked everything except for the limited movement, it could get really annoying at times. Great game overall though. Very creative idea

Submitted

Interesting concept having you balance shooting and movements!

However, bullets' collisions felt very big and unforgiving, often my projectiles crashed on the corners, and also sometimes it can be annoying when you roll 6 bullets, making you completely unable to move

Very fun game overall :)

shooting feels nice, and the pixel art style is cute.

disabling the players movement was not a good idea, it made combat feel really slow, and was more annoying then anything.  It led to situations where I had to wait for enemies to come behind the corner when I rolled a 6 for example, or run around doing nothing when I rolled a 1.

slowing time is cool, but duo to the enemies predictable nature was not necessary, you don't really need extra time to asses the situation when all the enemies just move slowly towards you. 

the music is awesome, and the sfx and particles are cool too.

great job on finishing a game in such a short amount of time!

Nice GAme

Nice game although there were a few frustrating things. The slow down effect was good, but it was inconvenient sometimes. When I just wanted to keep moving, the slow down would stop me for about half a second and then I could carry on. I think it would have worked better if the slow down only happened when you are stationary and re-rolling.

Also, I did find it a little strange how the enemies faded in. This meant that while the enemies looked like they could be damaged, sometimes they couldn't because they hadn't finished their animation. This is made much worse when time is slowed.

Other than these, the game looks and feels great. The music is nice too. Nice work for 48 hours!

Great job!

Cool central mechanic with some nice juice. Good Stuff! :)

Submitted

The game is fun and shooting feels juicy, but disabling the movement does not add up to fun it feels buggy and the slow motion is buggy for real - i got stuck in slow motion for like 30 seconds

Submitted

Nice game! I liked it. I am not sure about the moving around without the ability to shoot. Maybe just because I am not used to it. Great entry! nice one! 

Submitted

I had a similar idea with a dice roll determining how much bullets you get, but I really liked how you also made it determine how long you can move. Gave a more strategic feel to the game, although it made the gameplay slow at times.
