Cool idea. Maybe have the mutators appear every few rounds or so to keep the player on edge. I got confused hitting dice with more than one dot due to there being no feedback of me doing any damage. After I got used to that gimmick I was getting quite invested and changing up my movement pattern depending on the enemy type I was up against. Nice job
I actually like the idea you had for the enemies. Making the numbers as health and basically different stages of an enemy is pretty cool and makes for an interesting and fun to play game. Good stuff!
Both the art and the sound design were very retro but done very well!
Fun game! The minimalist art style does very well here, and the sound is great. I feel like each hit should demote the enemy one rank, instead of just doing nothing sometimes? Nice job!
Nice and juicy! liked the random effects that were applied at the start of the round.
Was fun trying to account for them. Would have been rly cool if the effects were rerolled during gameplay.
Cool! Good presentation, nice music and fun gameplay. I especialy like the enemy design. I feel like their needs to be a bit more feedback when you hit a die wich is a higher number. Well done!
Good feels with the game! Nice mechanics.
Very cool game that has a great execution !
I've given this game the highest rating so far. It's just a lot of fun. I think it feels and looks great. Killing a 6 for the first time.... Wow what a feeling :)
Really cool game, I replayed it a bunch to try out the different modifiers. I do think the contrast between the two main shades of green in the game should've been a bit bigger, and the screen shake should've been a little bit less... shaky, but otherwise the game was super fun!
This was fun. But I suck at it. No matter what option gets chosen, I always die too quickly lol. I loved the music
I feel like there are going to be plenty of similar entries to this game in this jam, when it comes to execution it’s fine, the font it’s a little hard to read, and the dice don’t seem to die with their number? Or maybe that’s something that’s not entirely clear. (For example, an enemy with a 3-dice they take more than 3 shots to die, 2-dice the same, it doesn’t happen with the 1-dice)
For the dice thing, I wasn't sure that was going to be clear but, as a short explanation: the dice will take shots equal to their number value and then roll or downgrade to the next lowest side. If the die value is 1 the die will just die.
