Dice are the main weapon in this game. They play a big "role" (geddit?) in the dino-verse where this takes place. There's also a spinning dice on the titlescreen for an added bonus :D

The winning music made me laugh.
Wish I had friend to play this with.
Congrats on finishing the jam !

Thanks! Hopefully you still enjoyed it :D

it's just a bomberman, where's the "roll of the dice"?

nice work!

Thank you :)

Love the bomberman vibes! The pixel art is on point.

* The animations/framerate could be spiffed up, sometimes the game started to chug a bit (Firefox, Win10)

* I was a little sad when my bomb didn't explode my friends bomb

* Music was on-point

* One of the levels we played took a little long to setup (surrounded by mountains, with grass in the middle). I feel like you'd want to tune some of your levels so that you can get to another player within ~3 bombs. It felt like I was just clearing the way to actually engage.


The "versus" mode icon is very visually interesting. It immediately caught my eye and whoever did the pixel art for it should be proud :)

Developer

Thank you so much :D Yes, I'm going to increase the powerup drop rate, so hopefully that should help :)

Super fun with friends! Astoundingly good pixel art for something made during a jam. It was cool seeing the sprites posted in the project channel during the jam :)

Very lovely little bomber-man style game. Really fun with friends and extremely pretty to look at. Great job on this one!

Developer

Wow, thanks :D

Submitted(+1)

So cute! Love the pixel look. I played it by myself but I can totally see having fun playing this game with others. A nice twist to the classic Bomberman mechanic. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much :D Sorry to hear you didn't get the full enjoyment out of it, but glad you still had fun.

Very nice work! I really love the concept and I think we would've enjoyed playing it a bit more but we never found a single power up so it was pretty much impossible to hit each other with bombs. I'm not sure if they're random and we just got unlucky but I can imagine it would've been a much more compelling experience with bigger/more bombs

Developer

Thank you :D Maybe try again? Powerups spawn quite often. Probably just a very unlucky round :(

Submitted(+1)

Shame I had no-one to play it with, but it's really cute and can totally see the fun in playing with other people.

Developer

Thank you :)

Wow, this game is really impressive! It feels very responsive and is very fun to play! The art and music are both wonderful as well. Overall a very solid game!

Developer

Thank you so much :D Glad you had fun!

Submitted(+1)

Nice art choice! Wished that there would be more powerups but this is still impressive for a 48h submission. Overall good work!

Developer

Thank you :D I kept the power ups to a minimum so it would be easy to understand. I didn't want to have walls of text :P

This is great!! Classic bomber game play with dinos and dice, feels very polished! Well done!

Developer(+1)

Wow! Thank you so much :)

Like the idea

Developer

Thank you :D

The polish on this game is off the charts! 

I love the artwork and vibe, and the little flourishes added (i.e. the dino transition) really makes this game stand out.  The gameplay is also very intuitive and fun.  Really nice work on this!

Developer(+1)

Aw, thank you so much :D

Classic. The game looks cute and fun to play.

Developer

Tysm :D

Tried with my girlfriend, had a lot of fun! The sprites are so cute i love them. Also the animation at the end of the game is really top quality. Loved it! Maybe the only suggestion i have is to increase the chance to get a power up.

Developer

Yes, I had the same idea after the jam ended. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback :D

Submitted(+2)

I mean, who doesn't love the classic bomb-your-friends gameplay. Very well executed, and I'm also glad to finally see someone spreading the truth about the extinction of the dinosaurs. Love the art and music, too.

Would love to see a little bit of randomness introduced to compliment the use of dice, and also had some luck to the gameplay so it's not just a competition of who is a more skilled player (maybe explosion-length is random up to the value of the die?)

Mega fun game.
I played with my wife. It's super cool

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :D

I managed to softlock the game by killing both players at the same time 😁

Developer(+1)

Yes, my cousin discovered that right as the jam ended. It will get fixed in an upcoming version :)
