The enemies were actually challenging! Overall a fun experience

A very cool game! I really liked the variety and creativity of attacks. My biggest criticism would be the lack of sound. Other than that, the game is well made, and fun!

Wacky little game! Had a lot of fun with the random effects. Definitely didn't kill myself with a black hole...

I think this game is best described as a diamond in the rough. The variety of interesting attacks you created are amazing!

I finished the entirety of the game and it really shines in the bullethell-esque moments where the screen is filled with attacks from top to bottom. I just would've wished that the movement was a bit less slugglish and that the maps were a bit clear in where you can and cannot go through.

I also missed incentive to switch dice all that much, which could've been interesting. Perhaps if they had different colours which contoured specific enemies that could've created interesting situations.

I also would've considered change the right mouse button to a dash, and putting the throwing distance of lmb a bit higher to rebalance it.

Overall it has lots of potential though, and I think this combat system could sustain hours of gameplay with just a tiny bit of extra tweaking.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll definitely implement changes and tweaks after the voting period. I was excited to continue work on it after the jam, so reading this was very encouraging!
