Amazing game! Main mechanic is great, art is great, sound is great. The one thing I wish there was is more feedback when you get hit because sometimes I wouldn't be paying attention to the healthbar and didn't even realize that I was on low health. That's just a small complaint though, the rest of the game is great and it's one of my favorite submissions so far!

This game is so hard but it's so fun! I love the art style. I normally don't play bullet hell games but this one is so fun and really captured me. I love the choice of which gun upgrades to actually add to your die!

One of my favorite games I've played. It's really challenging, but very fun.

Rocks, rocks, rocks - the mayhem dodging shots when you've loaded your dice with too many 2x and damage boost faces followed by the chaos when you actually fire a shot is incredibly fun. The gameplay loop is extremely solid.

Amazing game, just sunk an hour into it! would easily pay for this game with a few more levels, should upload it to steam

My favorite jam game so far! I like that you took the randomness and made it controllable as I was in charge of choosing my own powers.

I've seen the face swap mechanic a few times, but so far this game does it best.

A nuclear throne style top down shooter. I've seen some games that reroll the dice when you dodge/roll so you could possibly implement that as well.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. This game is a handful of QoL tweaks from being a full commercial title. Gameplay is juicy, sounds are great, and mechanics work well without needing a bunch of explanation. 

Pick up and play. Only downside is this isn't playable in browser.

Amazing game! While I was playing I was very curious about what kind of weapons I would find and how I could connect them. What if I equipped 5 x2 dice, and one rocketlauncher? I like that you made it meaningful to watch what dice you have rolled, and that you should not just blindly shoot. For example, if I had rolled a x2 dice I should not just try to aim at the enemy, but stay behind cover until I rolled something else. I think the rolling of the dice fits very well to the western theme and the reloading of the revolver. Unfortunately my run was ended by instantly being killed by some fish after spawning.

A fun Nuclear Throne-like game. The use of dice comes really naturally and the attacks feel impactful. Awesome seeing more games made in Godot.

If a rat came at me with a D6 and a revolver I would poop blood.

Really nice to see such love for Nuclear Throne so that you could capture it in a game of your own. Really tough game from the get go though, nice for that "just one more try" felling :)

Submitted

That was a cute game, I like the random mechanic of the gun. I wish there was some music playing in the background though hehe

Submitted

This game really captured that nuclear throne vibe. I'm really amazed how much work was put into this for a game jam entry.

Great game! The gimmick is so unique. I just want to let you know that sometimes enemies and cacti spawn out of bounds, though.

Submitted

I <3 the reload animation!
