How does your game fit the theme?
Rolly-Poly is a game created for the 2022 GMTK game jam. It's a spin on classic bullet hell/twin stick shooters. However, instead of shooting, the game focuses heavily on avoiding bullets through clever movement and with the help of a dodge. This dodge (or roll), rolls the dice on a number of different modifiers which in turn can either help you or harm you. The roll is your most powerful movement option as the movement speed is quite slow so you have to access the risk/reward of a short term benefit to potentially a longer term consequence. The roll also is your only offensive tool since it destroys all projectiles around you, it basically acts as a get out of jail free card, although it is on a cooldown so you have to pick your time wisely! The goal is survive as long as possible!

I really like the design of the game , the gameplay also adorable
Nothing stops you from just rolling a good buff and dodjing the bullets using it
Fun game! Visuals are nice, and the concept is really cool, but it does feel a bit slow and its annoying when bullets spawn directly on you and screw you over
