Cool idea but I wish there was a penalty for guessing wrong
Thanks for playing! Yeah the only penalty is time. I had more ideas but couldn't get around to fleshing them out
Interesting concept! tbh this could be a real life event haha! i like it!
Thanks for playing!
I used to trust the birds, but now I'm not so sure... also I liked that you added a casino to risk your winnings on. Fun game -nice work! :D
Thanks for playing!
Really cool concept, but theres no retribution to me just spamming bird for all of them and getting as much gold as possible.
Still fun!
Thanks for playing! Yeah I had an idea for a karma system for wrong choices but didn't get around to fleshing it out
I love the concept :D It could use a little more balancing, and I couldn't really understand how the casino part works but overall good job!!
Thanks for playing! Yeah I didn't get to flesh out as much as I like but got the core concepts in. The casino is simple, 2 matches you lose the wager but get a coin, 3 matches and you win the jackpot
One of the funniest games i saw here yet! Reminded me of my friend who was into speculation theories and casino
Thanks for playing!
this game reminds me a lot of my real life.
Thanks for playing!
Everything being physics objects that you have to chase down with the mouse is loads of fun. I love all the details the drones can have. The lack of a penalty for guessing wrong does mean you don't have to really play the game, but that's a minor thing that can be fixed. Tons of fun overall.
Thanks for playing! I really enjoy using pymunk for the physics it's janky and fun lol and yeah I didn't really get to flesh out wrong choices, I had an idea for a karma system but didn't get to it
I found a loophole by just spamming the bird button. I didn't care about scraps, and since there was no downside to guessing wrong it was more efficient.
I had fun. The art was good and the concept was unique. Well done
Thanks for playing! I wanted to add a karma system for wrong choices but just didn't get around to it so spam away lol
