The art assets and sound design go very well together and meshed well.

Game was pretty quick, but level 5 and 6 definitely made the game shine in how combining the dodge and dice roll mechanics really changed up the platformer formula!

Really good submission!

Great game, great art and I really like how this could be speedran!

Great game, it had me fondly recalling some of my favorite video games growing up. Particularly on NES and SNES haha. The only criticism I have I hope proves to be constructive and that is I'd love if I could jump out of or during a roll. Otherwise such a fun concept I love that rolling reloads your ammo and I liked that the lower the number the bigger the shot I even noticed my 1 shots ricocheting occasionally which was a cool aspect! Overall great!

This game fits very well in the theme.

I think that thing that stands out the most are the beautiful pixel art animations.

The character also just feels right to control.

A very well made game !
