Those space fish didn't know what hit em. Really liked how you had a say in what the random powerups were going to be, really let you tweak your playstyle in an interesting way. Even though it's an older musical piece I quite enjoyed it.
The theme for this game was really interesting - the fishing was certainly more interesting than just shooting generic space enemies, and the whole aesthetic and feel of the game all worked well. I liked how you paired both randomness and strategy with the upgrades and dice system particularly; it was great that I was in control of the outcome of the rolls, which was a very nice change from a lot of games where the randomness could get pretty unfair. Trying to find the best arrangements of dice was great fun too - my favourite was probably stacking negatives to get an occasional +10 bullets! And the fact that I didn't even have to shoot the dice if I liked the powerup I got added to that as well - the randomness felt like a tool, so that was some great game design there, thank you for making that fun! The graphics looked great, the abstract space-y theme was readable and was an interesting aesthetic, especially with that lighting, and the UI was readable as well. And the background was great, very pretty, and I kept spending too much time looking at it rather than the enemy bullets headed towards me. Very well done on this game, it's both well built and (importantly) fun!
Got a great powerup:
I guess i'll just wander around space aimlessly hahaha
nice game! I like the costume dice concept and the interesting upgrade system. the only problem is the movement control is very weird. overall, great job!
The movement controls were a little finicky, but I love the visuals and the shop idea of this game! Great amount of polish for 48hrs.
Random powerups reward can be frustrating and funny at the same time. :D
Great visuals - neon ocean and dice themed Asteroids?? I like the upgrade mechanics with having to make trade offs, but I wish each dice you get would stack rather than overriding the previous one. The weirdest part of the tank controls was aiming with the mouse - I think I'd have preferred rotating with the keyboard, even if that would be slower and more difficult!
I love the ideas of the shop, the upgrades, and the space fishing. I think my biggest complaint would be the movement, but if this game receives some polish I can totally see it being bigger than a game jam game. Keep up the great ideas and aesthetics, good job!
Super cool game! I wish that the ship movement controls wouldn't rotate along with the ship itself, but otherwise this is a super solid and appealing experience.
