Aww! This game was so cute! And I love the puns! XD The combat was a little difficult to grasp, as I found that aiming certain attacks was really difficult, but the animations and art style are really cute! And the fact that you play as a dice snail is incredible! XD Great work!

Great presentation and the DOOM music was hilarious. It had a cohesive theme and was a pretty great project overall. It was hard to tell when I had to manually reroll and when I was out of ammo because I was mostly focused on combat

It would have been interesting to have the game auto roll for you but maybe if you're paying attention you could try to stop the roll on a number you want, almost like active reload in Gears of War. Super cool project! Anyway, if you have time in the next 4 minutes please check out and rate my game LOL

I really enjoyed this game! I like the theme of being a snail taking revenge on the gnomes. Even if I didnโ€™t think the poison powerup was as useful as the others, I think it added some good variety to the gameplay. I also really liked the music from the game.

It wasnโ€™t the most intuitive at first that I could only reroll the die when I ran out of ammo, but it became clear on a second playthru (along with noticing the sound effect and the indicator in the top right)

Beyond that, this was a really fun game!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! And thanks for the feedback. ๐Ÿ˜„ I agree that the poison ability could be more useful, and that it could be clearer when it's time to reroll. Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome job! I had a lot of fun with this little action game. I like that it was fast paced in that I could spam out a bunch of abilities and then quickly reroll and continue, but that I had to use them all before being able to reroll. I liked the art and music as well, it paired well together. (Also love the title btw haha) It would've been cool if the ability art on the shell incorporated the pips of the die so you could tell it was a different number. But that is such a nit pick. Great job overall!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your kind words! ๐Ÿ˜Š We actually considered adding numbers to each side of the die along with the different elements, but thought it might get confusing if it implies that higher number elements are better than lower number ones lol. Glad you enjoyed it! ๐Ÿ˜„

Very good! art was charming,  gameplay was very satisfying, concept was a bit generic but it's fine.

Incredible musical experience

Its interesting mechanic that you fire with different weapon based on the dice roll.  I also enjoyed graphics and music. Music was funny. :D

Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. ๐Ÿ˜„

Simple, fun, and efficient.

And the music fit perfectly.

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! ๐Ÿ˜

It's a really nice concept! Easy and  understandable gameplay. I like the various "weapons" and different enforced playstyles.
The music is really funny and fits perfectly, but I think it could get annoying when you play a longer session.

I had fun playing it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜„Haha totally understandable, there's actually a secret button to disable the music which we didn't mention. ๐Ÿคฃ(The '3' key.) Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey this is a really cute concept! The music is hilarious, great choice. It actually matches the chaotic snail energy pretty well. The drop for the poison gas was a little hard to get the hang of.  I noticed that even if I got close to the gnomes, the gas would drop far away enough that it would vanish before the gnomes got there which was a little frustrating in the very beginning when there weren't that many gnomes. I did still enjoy this game though, you guys did great!

Developer

Thank you so much! ๐Ÿ˜„ And thanks for your feedback, we definitely would have polished up the different powers more if we had more time haha (especially the poison one, which we already played around with after getting feedback that it was too underpowered.) Glad you liked it! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Great game !

The music was... a bit weird, but really cool ah ah

Fun gameplay and cute art !

If you have time, could you also play and rate my game ?

Developer

Haha thank you! ๐Ÿ˜† The music is a Gnome-style cover of a well known classic 90's FPS track. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Very charming game, amazing art! 

Interesting and well put together concept.

Only think I can think of that could improve would be enemy verity.

Other than that, great game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your kind words! ๐Ÿ˜Š Enemy variety was something we wanted to add in, but ultimately ran out of time lol. Glad you liked it! ๐Ÿ˜„

I loved the art style!

Game was simple and easy toa learn. Although after only a few minutes I felt like I'd seen everything the game has to offer.

It's really cool idea to have to keep adapting to random attacks though.

Developer

Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜„ Haha yeah it's definitely short. We hoped that the Gnome counter might provide a little bit of replay value (people trying to beat their high score) but you can get the full experience after just a few minutes for sure. We're glad you liked it!
