Enjoyed the variation in the core mechanics of VS, returning the projectile after throwing it feels fresh, thanks! Kudos for treating half of the card as a last life!

This is nice, if it had some upgrades to the weapon and projectiles, it would be very fun to play!

Nice and smooth gameplay! I like it! Cool pixel art!

The weapon was fun, but it needed a bit more variety for a 20 minute game! Maybe a second enemy type or a second ability for the player?

This game is really nice, I enjoy it. I love the art and animation. But I think the game is repeating, I wish as game goes on maybe you gain more power(like you can throw 3 dice or smth)and there more unique enemy, like enemy with gun.

I was planning on having upgrades for the dice like burning, chain lightning, extra shots and such but unfortunately ran out of time + motivation in the two days we had. Animation and art are my weakest skills so thanks so much for the compliment!

Hey this reminds me of Vampire Survivors! Especially the blue orbs give me flashbacks!

Love the theme for this game! I thought the announcement at the beginning of the match was amusing! The weapon was cool too, almost like retractable boomerang dice.

You mentioned  mentioning bugs in your credits so a couple things I noticed:
- Looks like you can run outside the room quite a ways. I don't think it does anything, but you can escape the casino!
- I died the first time I played right away which was fine. The second time I tried though I thought I was doing pretty good... but then it turned out I guess I was invincible?? I then ran into like 50 zombies and nothing happened. Guess that can be good for the player.. but probably not what you intended!

I did end up quitting around 5 minutes in since it didn't seem like anything new was going to happen.

Anyways well done! Very nice game!

Thanks so much for the kind words man!

It was my first game jam and I think I overshot, I couldn't get a lot of the features working how I wanted them to but I made do. Nothing new happens as the timer continues except the enemies getting stronger and eventually a game win screen.
