Hey, we had some similar ideas! I really like the retro style you went with and the enemy variety, but the "roll effects" felt pretty unclear. Sometimes I would heal?

This could be really cool with more abilities, and jumping would feel good. But well done!

I think getting upgrades more often would make the game a lot more enjoyable. Making a first person game is very original though!

It's really enjoyable to play, but I dont know if the dice has something to do with it? Does it damage the monsters. Next time it maybe comes in handy to make a little start screen with, like a "You play the game like this". Like a help screen. But overall it's a good game, try next time also to put some more time in the background (It looks a little easy)

Yeah I don't understand if the dice value matters? if not, seems like it could've been any object thrown at enemies.

It is a pretty normal shooter but with the twist of having to regather the shoot after using it. I did fine it controlled quite smoothly but it seemed harder than I expected to actually grab the dice. 

I couldn't tell but was the dice actually changing what happened with it over time? I noticed the fire effect but could not really tell what it did. I also found the enemies attacks a little fast so I could not react in any useful way to avoid getting hit.

I had fun shooting dice at blobs! I replayed 3 times. (:

I didn't notice the yellow blobs were a thing that hurt me until way into my first run, since the red ones are more obviously enemies. At some points I thought I had gotten the die, but alas I had not (sad noise), so tightening up that could help with game feel.
