Fun concept, I'm glad to see a game that lets you choose which weapons correspond to each die face, it helps add strategy to an otherwise RNG-based game! The only problem I ran into was that, after it "shuffles" your inventory for the first time, I could no longer roll my die and was effectively softlocked

Love the gameplay !! It was nice and simple ! the concept was super original and fit the theme really well. Great work!! :D

Interesting idea, to be sure. If I had only one complaint, it would be that many weapons don't give you a whole lot of choice in how they are played--particularly the more defensive weapons. This often makes the game feel like an exercise in stalling as you wait for the "right" weapons to show up. Perhaps this could be mitigated by allowing the player to use two or three weapons at a time, though this may require you to make the enemies tougher to compensate. All in all, nice use of the theme!

This idea is really cool, I think with a little more polish and effects (like art and screen shake) it would be one of the top games!

I really love that I can assign items which hI like to the edges of the dice! I've never ever thought about such a possibility in my game and this is truly awesome solution!

Great job! 

P.S. A stupid cannon is constantly missing :(

Really fun to play! I like the concept. Its great that you get to choose the weapons you have for each dice face. Good Job!

This is a blast, and I adore the sound design! Everything felt right and balanced.

My only complaint is it's a bit low contrast since everything is so dark, maybe some brighter colors or outlines could help.

Submitted

Wow, really well done, unique and fun! Deserves way more ratings.

Pretty good presentation, and nicely challenging... The concept is really good! Great entry!

This game is great! Looks clean and is fun and challenging. I quickly learned the priority was choosing items that were easier to survive against for the later waves haha. Brilliant submission.

Extremely well done! The mechanic of choosing your lineup of abilities almost gave that same sort of thrill as a good deck-building card game, where you are hoping to pull out that one specific ability and making due with what you have in the meantime. In fact, it could be a cool concept to explore in the future where players amass a "deck" of ability cards they can assign however they like, but each card is lost after the round it is used in. Just an idea though, the ability mechanic is already compelling and satisfying as it is! 

The diversity in the abilities, plus the twist of having the big dice turn them against, really kept things interesting! Things could get a little chaotic in later rounds, but the clean art direction kept everything on the screen readable! If you continue to develop the concept beyond the jam, I think you could really open up the gameplay by introducing new enemy and ability types the longer someone lasts. Overall, this is a supremely impressive game to build in such a short time, and I think it has even more room to grow! Awesome work, you should be very proud :)

A really fun game! Loved the game mechanics, the amount of skills to use, the big dice rolling and attacking me with the skills that I chose, the art and the sfx, loved it all! Cant believe this was done in 48 hours, really mindblowing for your first itch.io project! Keep it up!

Submitted

It was over for me at Round 4, cound't do a thing - dice didn't roll (maybe that was broken lasors, idk) :(
But, BUT!! That was a good one! I enjoyed playing it. The best part was understanding that there re a lot of mechanics you implemented for such short time. Great job!

Submitted

Incredible game!

Submitted

 Fun and unique game! It incorporates the theme very creatively. 

Submitted

really fun! visually pleasing too. it was actually really fun to just dash under the enemies while they jumped.

This is by far the most addicting submission I've played so far. I like the variation in the tools you can employ to help you live longer. There is a lot of potential for this to become a full fledged game!
