I think the main strength of this game is gameplay. You can acomplish something with a very simple mechanic and dice just add to that. There is also cool stuff to be done with the dice.. What I didn't enjoy is enemies spawning on my back.

The dice mechanic is so good, maybe some polish and it would be such a cool game.

The Dice ShooterIt's a very decent game, I wish there was some sort of warning when monsters spawn, lots of times they spawned behind without me knowing. I really like the random effect of dices, they can even trigger themselves, that can make some cool combos. Good job!

1000 ways to diceDecent game however youre literally unable to die due to the fact that the revolver can fire just as fast as you can click so there is no reason to use the dices

Wrath of the diceA simple but effective shooting game. Using dice power-ups feels very satisfying. Maybe you can add some kill animations to creatures. It can be much more fun ^^ Nice work

Cursed BackgammonI got a highscore of 2220. It was fun sniping all the enemies from the corner, though I don't think that was the intended method to win. I could have gone on forever, but I knew I was cheating. Still, this was a very fun shooter.
Self Promotion: I'd be very grateful if you would try my game too.

Hero With 6 FacesNice game. I didn't understand at first that I had control over what happened by shooting the correct side of the dice, I expected it to be random based on how it "rolled". But once I figured that out, i could plan ahead a bit more. :D It's a nice simplistic shooter overall.

Turf RollCool game, I really like the idea of using dice as 'lucky blocks'!
There are a few bugs tho (which is honestly expected from a game jam) such as jumping on top of the giants to avoid all damage and form an endlessly growing, controllable tower which was really fun to mess around with but obviously not intended lol
Overall though it's a pretty cool and unique game for the time limit!
