Really fun game! I liked the weapon variety and how each weapon forced you to play a different playstyle. I think some of the weapons could get buffed a little as the game goes on, since the enemies stack up pretty fast and getting stuck with like 2 and 1 can put you in a rough spot pretty quickly, especially when there isn't any vertical movement. I didn't realize the green drops were health initially, and it felt a little too hard to collect without getting hit, which greatly limited the weapon options. But overall, I still really enjoyed playing your game. The 4 weapon was definitely my favorite one. Great job!

To be honest idk why I was so quckly adding that life weapon connection when I didnt even considered its consequences of low health play. Should change 5 and 1 maybe ...

Nice way to incorporate the theme into a classic. Sadly, the shooting seemed to only switch between two types (or maybe i just didn't play long enough).

Developer

5 of the 6 weapons should work fine, but I cant deny there is a full random weapon switch, so it might even chooses the same weapon two or three times. Might add a less random randomizer tho, to keep this from happening.

Thanks for the feedback!

A nice twist on an established game. The dice switch is a little jarring, maybe add a roll animation window so the player is aware the die is changing.

Good work!

Is in plans, thank you !

I liked playing space invaders as a kid, and I think this game is a nice variation of it. Really like the enemies are also dice :)

Developer

Thank you, altough the triangle-ish enemy was supposed to be one too, somehow it strayed cause i could not translate it well.

Hey! This is actually a pretty similar concept to my jam submission! Randomly changing attacks depending on what the dice rolls. Also I think we may have used the same explosion pack!

This game itself is pretty good! I was lasting for quite a while there. I think it said i got to wave 15 or so. I also liked the general look of the game, especially the d20 dice ship! It's like a war of the dice!!

Anyways good work with this one!

Pretty fun, but I got overwhelmed pretty quickly.

I loved your game! It's very beautiful, I didn't find any bugs. I loved the shooting system and the enemy ships. congratulations for your work!

I think it might be interesting that my ship can move around the screen, back and forth, you know? would help with mobility to dodge shots.
