Haha. Clever. Using the traditional rolling mechanic of other top down shooters to roll the dice and change weapons is genius.
Admittedly locking the dodge to the cardinal directions isn't great. When I roll, I want to dodge something. Maybe use the same mechanic, but with arounder dice.
Also with a top down shooter, I would like it to start off a bit slower. Or have an upgrade system.
Looks good, sounds good.
This has a lot of potential. Well done.
