Oh no, I tried the b key first with no result.

Lovely little boss battle. Fun mechanic with the boss phase changing based on the die roll. Solid controls and shooting mechanics. My only complaint would be that the eye is a bit of a bullet sponge. It'd be nice if each mode had some kind of weakness that forced you to switch up your shooting strategy just like your dodging strategy.

Unfortunately I couldn't actually start the game. The title screen says "press B to start". I assume it's picking up a controller? I do have some attached to my system, but I was trying to play with KB and mouse. :-(

Clever little physics game with a unique mechanic. Surprisingly harrowing to play (gotta get that shot lined up before they do!). I'm not big on unthemed or abstract games, but this was a fun diversion.

I had fun! I liked the upgrade system and the use of dice placement. However, the strict requirements on what die is needed for what category kind of limit what you can actually do with a given "day". Some rolls are just a heck of a lot more useful than others. I had to throw out a lot of 5s and 3s.

A dice placement game works best when you have a lot of competing priorities so there's competition for a given roll. I would have liked to see a mechanic for rerolling or modifying rolls (perhaps combining 2 dice into 1 roll, or discarding 2 dice to get a new roll, etc.)

I also would've liked a way to fast-forward the days. There's a lot of downtime while customers mill about the store.

Finally (and I'm a little loathe to say this) but there needs to be some kind of problem nipping at my heels, like rent or ingredient purchasing. Without something to drain my funds, a good day isn't very distinguishable from a bad one.

Still, all that said, it was very enjoyable. You've got a strong foundation here for a more fleshed-out game.

Neat idea, but aside from selecting upgrades there's not really much to DO in the game.
