Interesting game, I liked it!

Praise:
Great job!
The art is very cute and the concept is very enjoyable, but I feel like sounds would've improved the experience exponentially.
I can take credit but I’m not a great artist so it’s all premade assets I found. Interesting that you couldn’t hear the audio, there was some, must have been a bug. Thanks for playing though!
Oh wait really, then scratch that last part lol my bad I'll retry it later
Very nice! The gun jam and super shot was a fun addition to the dice determining bullets idea.
Really interesting gameplay. The random gun's load was very clever.
Cool little game, but it was really hard to play on a touchpad. I usually couldn't get the gun to shoot.
Any shooter game is hard on touch pad. name one that isn't
Fair point!
This game is already great! My only suggestions would be to put the reloading gun and ammo nearer to each other. I also wish that there was more significance to the dice roll. But overall, you made a very fun game!
I’m glad you liked the game! I agree, a few people have pointed out the location of the gun UI made it hard to see other parts of the game.
Cool idea, very competently made, not too simple, not too complicated. The reloading animation is quite nice and has a nice crunch to it.
The only thing that bothered me a little bit was the fact, that I was constantly looking at the opposite corners of the screen - ammo and health in one and reload and ammo type/jam in the other ;)
Thanks for playing! I agree that in hindsight putting the reloading UI and ammo UI probably wasn’t the best idea.
Nice and simple game. SFXs are top notch as well, clearly informs you the actions. The dice mechanic is incorporated well and I often find myself strategically reloading early to get the better shots. Enemies are not that varied but this is a jam game so I don't expect a lot either. Maybe you could work on this game after the jam and putting new stuff in it? Overall I love it!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I'm considering maybe working on the game after the jam but we'll see if that actually happens.
Very fun game! The art is amazing and I love the animations for the reload and the camera shake!
Great game! I enjoyed how the ammo changes based on the dice, It was quite satisfying whenever I got 5 ammo! However the game doesn't really change in difficulty and there is no real objective.

Thanks for playing my game, I'm glad you liked it! There is actually a score system and the spawn rate is supposed to increase however, I don't think either of those features were very noticeable in the game. I also agree that there wasn't really any objective and I wish I could have had more time to add that.
I had a lot of fun with this it was a great concept and executed very well!
very fun idea, well polished too
I really loved this game. It is creative, and very simple to understand. As a matter of fact, I'm kind of jealous hahaha. My only complaint, and it's something I'm not sure can be fixed, is the fact that trying to see what my current ammo type was made me lose focus from the character and enemies. I kept going back and forth between the gun and the player, which was a bit annoying and didn't allow me to dodge properly. Still amazing entry :)))))))
I'm glad you liked my game and I don't think you need to be jealous either, I just played your game and thought it was very fun as well. Also thanks for pointing out the problem with the location of the gun on the screen, I feel like maybe I should have moved it or made it easier to tell what type of ammo you have. Thanks for playing!
If you ever expand on the game, you could add the current dice type on top of the player's head, that might not be the best for consistency of the art style, but that would greatly help the gameplay.
Love this! Very fun interpretation of the dice theme
Pretty fun and polished, the idea is good, I think it would be cool if you had to actually go and find the dice in the world instead of just being able to hit right click.
I love the creativity and the game itself. Few points of feedback:
- I feel that the character and enemies move too quickly, but maybe that's just me.
- I think that the enemies are too big and can corner you in some places
- I feel that it is too easy to just spam reload whenever you get a jammed-gun-dice.
However, this game is spectacular and the gameplay is really fun.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree that there are a some aspects that could have been improved if I had more time to work on it but you know how game jams are... Also thanks for playing!
I really love the way you used the dice in this creative idea. This so far one of the best games I have seen in this jam.
