Great Game! Felt like the fighting was tedious at times but I loved the boss fight and the art was good!

Nice game! Gameplay was fun and the boss was fun. Art and sound were also great and the whole game felt very polished. If you were to expand on this game, you could maybe try to make the main dice matching mechanic more important in some way so you can't just shoot constantly and hope to damage the enemies, but overall great game!

Great game! I absolutely loved how polished it was. The boss fight was super intense. please come rate my game.

Great game! Art was beautiful, take on the theme was original, gameplay was entertaining.


My main quibble is that there is no disincentive for firing without caring what you are shooting. As a result, I unfortunately did not pay attention whatsoever to the dice mechanic. It was as if the enemies were just larger damage sponges. This was doubly so with the boss.


Here are my two recommendations: 

First, make it worth the players while to pay attention to the dice, be that through a combo system that rewards shooting only the appropriate dice while disposing of the others or by making each shot that hits an enemy but is not the proper dice hurt you instead. Or maybe make the dodge available only when a combo is maintained!


Second, put the dice at the cursor instead of the player character. Whenever I play these types of games, my focus is on the cursor while the character is in my periphery. 


Great game otherwise! Loved the art, music, and the take on the theme. Just needs a bit more to fully integrate the theme,

Very fun game to play !

I did get frame drops when fighting the boss, but that might be due to the fact that I played on the browser ?

This was one of the most well-polished games I've seen yet in the jam. The art, the juice, the palette, the game feel, everything is just spot-on, and it really elevates this to being one of the best action games I've rated so far. Like Sam Gordon said, near the end I kind of just kept firing until I got what I needed since the reload was so fast (maybe a shuffle/reordering for your die would've helped?) but otherwise this is a fantastic entry!

It looks fantastic and was great fun to play! It feels awesome to snipe something from across the room with a die! Great work.

Really clean art and great game feel! I liked the fast-paced feel. It might be cool if you had to find or earn dice somehow, as it felt like I could just roll indefinitely until I got what I needed. Great work!

This is a really cool game. The art and mechanics are really great, Great job!

This was a really awesome game! It offered fun and chaotic gameplay, I love the overall aesthetic and art style of the game, and you can really see how the theme was used here.

Oh, I did find a minor bug where there were the exclamation mark indicators next to the enemies despite the die not matching with the player's, but it didn't affect my experience at all. Great job!
