Great Game! I like how the dices number decides what attack it uses... If you stand in the shadow you can't see the number that well... And you have sound settings :D

Developer

The lighting got a bit wonky with the WebGL version specifically. I think we'd like to make that better and also possibly put a little icon of the dice number that it rolled next to the health bar for clarity. Thanks for playing!

Awesome! I'm a huge fan of how the floating dice's attacks play in line with the beat of the music, I thought that was a really powerful touch, especially with the 3d bullet hell action. I also enjoyed the way floating dice moved in 3d space, it felt very organic and like the boss was a living breathing creature, especially when it flies underneath the platform. Great work!

Great! Dunno why, but this reminded me of the dice boss in Gunstar Heroes... but in 3d! :D Good job!

I really like the attacks. Hard but fun. Good job

Developer

Glad you had fun! Thanks.

Nice hard gameplay,

The gameplay is nice! I wish I had a bit more speed/jump to make avoiding attacks easier (most attacks were very hard to avoid). Or maybe add powerups ?

All hail the Cosmic Dice!

Developer

Yeah, I think we would add some balance changes like a double jump, make the player a bit faster, and change up the boss patterns and attacks because sometimes it'll just speed circle the player and that can be hard to deal with.

I guess I really need to upgrade my GPU! This is the second game I couldn't play because of OpenGL / WebGL limitations.

Developer

It could be, I had stuttering issues myself and then I realized I had hardware acceleration in my browser turned off. With that on it ran fine, not sure if that helps

Submitted

Yeah I messed with that on my browser as well. It unfortunately didn't help. However I have figured out that Unity 2021.3 Windows builds still work. It's unfortunate that one isn't available, but the only requirement was that you include a build.

Developer

What GPU are you using?

Submitted

Intel Core i5 480M integrated graphics.

The gameplay is pretty fun, and I actually really like the graphics with the cubes and lights. The sound is good too. The only thing is that the difficulty is a but much with some of the attacks (especially when the boss is circling). But all in all, I had fun!

Developer(+1)

Yep, there's some more balancing that would need to be done. Glad you enjoyed it!
