It's a fun idea, and the running back and forth allows for some strategizing in how you go through enemies

Nice visual presentation, but the gameplay is confusing; the only way to detect cheaters seems to be that sometimes you can see their eyes flashing red? Which seems inconsistent no matter what I tried, which is frustrating. I would've liked the ability to actually walk around (or use hidden cameras or what have you) and see actual cheating at the game rather than an unrelated shorthand.
(Also, I often found myself accidentally clobbering an innocent player as I clicked my mouse to start the game, because you start looking at a player head-on and clicking start also throws a dice. Had to constantly remind myself to use the right button to avoid this.)
Extremely cute game, but the rolling a dice part is entirely unnecessary to this game and in fact slows it down (I get it, have to conform to the really specific jam theme). The core mechanic is that you have to figure out in what order and directions to combine the 4 moves of different lengths; it would be better if they'd be selectable rather than having to slog through the game offering you random options until you hit the one you want. Fixing that, it'd be a really neat little game.
It's a pretty cool concept; perhaps the difficulty is a tad on the high side and it might be offset by increasing the timer, or giving alternating patterns for the enemy dice? (Like for example having them shoot in specific directions and not towards the player, maybe with the eyes appearing in different spots as well).
