This is one of my favourites I've played this jam! Reminded me a lot of Mega Man, which I also love. The art was also really cool. I think a few more enemy types might be nice, but overall very nice work :)

I would have liked a little more feedback when you damage enemies, and when enemies damage you. I also didn't quite understand the point of the die roll system. I think if you had made it the only way to heal (I mean so you heal when you roll the die AND you get a new bullet type) and the enemies dropped rolls instead of hearts, it would make it more interesting. Otherwise a pretty neat little game.

Dicey TrailsFun little adventure game. The character control feels nice, just like those 2D platformer game I enjoyed. The level design is good enough, but I stuck a little bit, because I though the pillar is a wall.
The rolling feature is not so surprising. But the game is good enough. Well done!

God doesn't play diceVery fun, looks and sounds great.
At first I found shooting unresponsive, but then realized holding down the fire button does the job.
The bouncy sections felt a bit wonky, although I the animation of the dice bouncing is very well done.
Enemies would sometimes attack from offscreen.
I might've gotten unlucky, but the new weapons from the roll ability didn't feel any different.
Overall, the game is polished and very good, great job on this!
btw I found this entry through youtube recommending me your video :)

Untitled Dice GameYou don't usually see this type of game in a jam. Hard to believe it was made in only 48 hours! I played through the whole thing, really loved it!

Race of the DiceThis is beyond amazing. I had no idea it is possible to make something this good in 2 days. I really loved it, the art style and the music and amazing. The gameplay is also just very simple and fun. Easy to pick up but hard to put down.

Lucky ShotLike the visuals. Controls were a bit weird, especially during the bounce platform with ceilings section. Also could fire while jumping sometimes but not other times. Not sure how much the mechanic added to gameplay though.

A Die's TourGood game, good sound effect, it like an arcade game .I think the player should be able to choose to change the dice or not.

Windy with a Chance of TornadosGreat job on this. Shooting feels fun. I'm not sure I understood the dice mechanic, It changed my weapon sometimes and other times it didn't.
