THE GAMBLER

I really hope this gets worked on more, the concept is really different and fun. Adding more replayability through unlockables would keep me hooked.

Played the game in a video of mine as well :3

wow !!!

Fantastic game, and so stylish! I really hope this becomes something bigger.

I love it!!!!! Best game ever!!! I love how you made it a random level generator so there's always something fresh, also there's all type of power ups like Shotgun or Triple Shot, I even found a Rocket Launcher and Crossbow. I also really like the art work. So good and so fun!!!

A competent little arcade game.

hello, is the source code available by any means? I want to make some modifications to the game and see how it changes the experience.

For example, I want to make it so, you can zoom out your camera more since often times you fight enemies which are off-screen which can be a bit frustrating. Also I want to make the dice roll be tied to the cursor instead of your character, because my eyes have to keep jumping between my crosshair and my character, I wish I could just look at the cursor and have my character only in the peripheral vision.

I would also change the dash from RMB to Shift or smth else. I thought it's a good idea that it's on RMB, but after playing with it for a while, it was just uncomfortable

does this run on Ubuntu-based linux systems?

god the polish is amazing

Alright, this is a great game, been playing for a few days now. I like when feeling like I'm going fast but still not getting hit. I like the satisfying "thunk" of launching a grenade. I like the explosion of the enemies into cactus pieces. IDK if you guys plan on expanding this, but I'm going to list my thoughts. I don't think all of these are super important, but they are things I personally would like changed. 

Enemy swarm: sometimes you spawn in the midst of several enemies. This would not be a huge problem were it not for the fact you can get hit by multiple bullets at once. Adding some form of short damage immunity when you get hit would be nice to prevent instant deaths.

Also, bullet damage sometimes feels random. For instance, with the brown shirt and blue-colored frogs, you can take anywhere from 3-0 damage, which seems to be based on the distance the bullet travels. I don't know if this is intentional, but it really discourages getting up close and taking risks.

Bugs: 

• Sometimes the cactus pieces will get trapped outside the map. 
• If you go to the oasis (at least after completing the canyon) you are unable to play the game again unless you close the program.

Sound: It might be nice to hear the guitar chord for every new location, or maybe each section (desert, canyon) could have its own starting sound. Some western background music throughout the stage would also work nicely.

Also, it wasn't obvious to me the first time that I had to choose between ending the run or continuing at the end of Canyon-3. I just thought it was a different flag. I would not have even realized there was more if I didn't decide to play the game again.

Anyway, good entry. I'm glad I noticed it in GMTK's video. I feel like this was inches away from the top 20, love to see if you guys participate next year.

Amazingly good, instantly got addicted to the mechanic and aesthetic of the game and I would love to see a full Steam release with more upgrades to get, unlockable characters, soundtrack etc.

Somethings to tweak tho:

SFX:

Grenade Launcher needs to go BOOM

Sound needed when you kill something

UI:

Need to see the names of the upgrades you have

Being able to see when your dash is ready again would be cool

Gameplay: 

Heals some times get stuck in wall 

Anyways, thanks so much for making this game, I'll play it a couple more times :)

This game was so much fun. Great job! 

This is the best itch game I've ever played!

Very good.

so good honestly, maybe some music while fighting will add to the atmosphere. Otherwise awesome!

love stacking ridiculous 2x and speed combos, v. satisfying would buy.

so good
