The fact repeated double dices stack is SO  GOOD.

Of all the twin-stick shooters I've seen in this jam, yours has the most balance between player control and luck

Awesome game! I had a lot of fun playing. It's something I could definetly see myself buying on steam as a full game with more content.

I wish there was some western-y music to go along with it.

Great job!

This was really good, and it seems like someone has played nuclear throne.

Can't Wait for the post-jam version, to see what you do with this game. So many synergies and possibilities are possible with the dice upgrades, so I'll be trying it out once it comes out.

This is a really fun Nuclear Throne style game. I love the gimmick and customizing your dice is really fun. I do wish the game had music playing, but considering the time limit it's understandable and the gameplay makes up for it.

We also made a Western themed game, hope you check it out!

Game is fantastic. One of the best games in this jam.

Fastpaced, hard and with some really cool animations (I could shoot the walls all day, just to look at that revolver reload animation!).

Great job!

Very cool and smooth. Love the graphics and simple sounds. Had a lot of fun running around gunning!

Submitted

Amazing game and I love the art style!

I got 2x shot on every die side except for one grenade launcher. 10/10 strategy, would die trying to shoot again. Absolutely epic game. I didn't hear any music, which I think would've really boosted the experience, but otherwise this is quite epic. :)

So clean and polished! Definitely one of the best games in this jam!

Probably one of the best games I've played so far, really liked the combat and visuals.

Submitted

I loved this game! Art style is great with juicy screen shake! Being able to replace die faces as the game goes on was also a very clever application of the dice theme. I think I'll come back and play this again some time!

Submitted

Great gameplay, I would like to see where you guys go from here for this game.

This reload animation, so good!

Awesome art and style, creative implementation of the theme and, of couse, perfect presentation. That's a great game for sure.
Congrats, great job!

Submitted

Very impessive! Cool coherent visuals, good feeling movement and very satisfying shooting. A theme is clearly there - your every shot is random. 
Stuck at the Level 3, big bois instantly crushed my shiny shotgun build. Next time i will try sniper build and make them pay! You nailed the heart of every roguelike game - the itching feeling to start again.

this feels like a full-release level game. of all the random weapon entries i've played in this jam, this one does it best by far! one of my favorite entries for both the exquisite art and satisfying gameplay. amazing work on this!
