How does your game fit the theme?
Dice Raiders roll onto the screen and when you attack them, your attack depends on the side of the die you aim for. Gameplay is a ‘roll of the dice’ because you have to knock off dice at such a fast rate that you end up having to react to your own attacks as if they were randomized.

Awesome game you've got here!! The attack system really makes you think about all of the enemies' positions relative to one another, which is a step beyond the depth of a normal arena fighting game.
I laughed at the Wilhelm scream when I died :p
Overall great game, super fun!
Hehe, glad you liked the Wilhelm scream. And glad you liked the game too.
ohhh the gamefeel is fantastic! Hitting the dice just feels so good. Love how hectic it gets when you have lots of them in the mix. The green/red indicators showing if a hit is valid or not was also a nice touch. Art style is great too. Great work all around!
Thank you! We just kept cranking the max number of dice up for testing and ended up leaning into the chaos
I just love how the enemies look like :D
Thank you! Because the art is made up of layered 2D sprites, I had to design the enemies in Minecraft using blocks, copy the layers of the design into pixel art, and then stack the layers on top of each other in the engine.
loved it, the presentation and gameplay perfectly fit each other, the idea is great, execution is just as good
So glad you liked it!
This was very fun, very juicy and I love your interpretation of "Roll of the Dice"
Thanks!
Lot's of fun. And the game has more depth than I'd imagine with so few rules. I ended up going around looking for certain die faces so I could pull off a shotgun or dynamite.
Thanks! It makes me very happy knowing someone is actually trying to think about what abilities to use.
This game is so fun and it feels really good to throw dice off the edge of the chess board. Great entry!
Thanks! Glad you like the feel.
The concept is interesting and the game is pretty polished, but IMHO it'll be a lot more interesting to have more enemy type.
Thanks for the idea! Yeah, I wish we could've gone further with the enemy types, could be a really interesting way to make you think about what ability you want to use.
Really cool idea, and very fun to play, would be nice to be able to see your health but it was still fun and addictive :)
Thanks for the praise! Yeah, I agree that the background changing color really isn't clear enough to be very useful.
Great game! Love the idea.
Thanks!
Cool game! I really liked the implementation of the theme regarding the effect te player had!
Thanks!
Cool concept and feels great to play with the effects and screen shake
Thanks for the praise, glad you enjoyed the polish
Haha, bro that death sound is so funny, love it. jumping and rotating enemy looks dangerous. Don't know why my player was kissing the enemy.
Heh I'm glad you liked the death sound
Fun game! I liked the variety of attacks, I don't think I could control them, but I just enjoyed spamming everything. Also I really like the visuals!
Well done!
Glad you enjoyed yourself! thanks for leaving a comment.
I enjoyed the visuals and well as the gameplay, very well done :)
thanks!
Really cool! The single bad thing I could say about it is you can spam even not minding how you attack and still succed
Thanks for playing and commenting! Yes, I agree, it does really turn into chaos and there is not a lot of strategy to it.

The 3D retro-ish art style is AWESOME! I really dig it. It's really difficult to make combat that's enjoyable but this combat is SUPER satisfying and enjoyable. I didn't think a game about killing dice could be so fun but it legitimately really enjoyable.
I also like the pun in the title :)
It makes me really happy to see people appreciating the art! Thanks for playing.
I really enjoyed the game, the simple yet very addictive Gameplay made me want to continue! Especially the Wilhelm scream when the Character dies was a nice gig! The Artstyle was very pleasent, especially the colours. Only critique I have is that it was a bit easy. You cold spam your attacks and the only reason I died was because I jumped off the edge.
Nevertheless a great game, very fun!
Thanks for playing and leaving feedback! Yeah, I agree that the game is very spam-ey and doesn't require a ton of thought. Glad you enjoyed anyways.
