Having akimbo revolvers that reload independently was neat as it allowed me to save a good roll in one hand while I fended off enemies with the other. I liked the way they controlled too - the aim offset was pretty tricky but I actually felt it to be a fun challenge.  

The narrow ramp of the towers was a bit tricky to climb with the high move speed, not that I ever really needed to go up there. I feel like maybe there should of been more of an incentive to use the correct die on the correct enemy too - I liked having to line up specific shots but it seemed easier to just spam dice at them until they died.

Very neat, I'd prefer if there was a crosshair. Good job on your game!

Cool game and very nice setting. Really liked the whole tabletop look.

An improvement, gameplay wise, would be to have a crosshair or some other form of indicator, telling me where I'm actually shooting, since it was pretty hard unless I got right up in the enemies face.

Other than that the game felt pretty good, well done.

Tough for me to play with a laptop trackpad when right clicking to fire the right hand gun locks my view until I do a left click, but It's a very interesting game because it forces me to consider every bullet and prioritise enemies beyond the one that's currently closest to me. Otherwise a bit simple as it stands, but I can easily see this being expanded upon as a lengthier, more in-depth horde-style shooter (if the inclination strikes you)!

Not really a fan of using Q and E to reload though, because with WASD for movement, it inevitably means I need to take one of my fingers away from those keys, which restricts how I'm able to move around if I want to reload.

Pretty interesting! Liked the art and music, gameplay was simple but good. Enemies came out of nowhere a lot which was confusing, more sounds would have helped with that.
