Really interesting idea and after several attempts, I finally got 1 point! I find it really difficult to make meaningful choices because I think it was a bit too random and there were too many enemies at the beginning.

Developer

The numbers you get when you roll aren't actually random. When you do a right roll, you roll the numbers 1, 2 and 3 and when you do a upwards roll, you do 4,5 and 6. The other directions are reversed. At least I'm glad someone got a point. I thought no one will get a point in the rating jam period.

The tutorial really helps, it's so important. I absolutly failed every time I tried ahah, but I had fun and I really love the art !

Maybe we won't continue since many people said it's a bit confusing to get the hang of which I think is mostly because of the main mechanic.

the game is quite confusing to play, the mechanics are hard to understand, there are too many enemies and it is overall too chaotic

the tutorial also looks quite low quality (at least in game it does)

I find the game confusing to play. I think it might be too random for me.

Cute art! Reminds me of EarthBound for some reason. but I couldn't quite understand the game even after reading the tutorial images. It seemed like I could never get hit while rolling, and therefore never got to see any of the effects. I played it three times and got a score of 0 every time.

Developer

The reason you might not get hit while rolling is because you might be diagonal rolls which don't really work. To get the effects roll over bullets or the enemies to trigger the effects. It could also be that your not rolling as soon as you hit the enemy or bullet.
