Thank You. Gambling is fun!!

thank you for playing the game!

the screenshot you attached is unfortunately the scaling issue. we were applying scaling to the elements differently earlier but then we switched our settings to scale the viewport instead, which meant on all display sizes the contents on the screen would look consistent. but in the build i last uploaded, i forgot to remove the code that calculates scaling for other display sizes which was no longer needed; we tested it on a display with 100% (1.0) scaling which made no difference to scaling, which is why it went unnoticed at the time.

following is the intended look across all display sizes;

however, the bugs have been fixed, its just sad to see that we can’t update it for a while since file uploads are locked.

Also when we enter the number and press enter to like lock it in? Id love to see the game point it out specifically that its locked in

there is a gentle audio cue as of now, we do have code for visual indicators on the cursor selection however, i think we cut focus on it since we needed to get the main gameplay done first.

about more gameplay mechanics…yeeeeahhhhh there was a lot more we planned but had to cut on or we’d not finish the game in time, hah. there was a dialogue system; the slot.listener was initially a dialer and you’d listen your friend’s dialogues on a call while he gambled, etc. we had minigames with that, and a short sequence before the actual gameplay where you’d login to the machine and it’d be a different server every time, and the player would have to figure out how to login to it, etc.

overall i think, as you suggest, this concept has more potential to it. maybe after the file uploads are unlocked we’ll see to implement these things as we have some code already written for it.

and yes, the crt shader is really fun. i had code for it where like an actual crt display the scan lines would slowly move with time, and other edge sharpening code and more stuff.

anyways, thank you for the review and thank you for playing our game!

did you read the readme.md? it has hints on how to play the game 😉

Thank you for your kind words. :D

Thanks for playing.

You basically have to look at the sheet and match the icons in any row. But changing rows increases threat.

So change few rows and leave some matrix as is if you won't be able to make good combo.

We toned down the difficulty a lot from original concept. 

Maybe give it one more try. For the Culture 🤟

you’re not stupid! you’re just one readme away. lol

i can understand that the learning curve may be high, but we tried our best to not make is too difficult. earlier we had the player type out commands to get things done which was very unintuitive for an average gamer.

regardless, thank you for playing the game!

i think this is one of the more unique/helpful responses we’ve gotten about the game, and i think it does add value to our game design for the next project, really. i do agree with you on the game somewhat feeling like an exam to solve but it was merely the vibe we were wanting to go for.

the initial iterations involved a lot more complex puzzles which required you to code up solutions from given schematics (diagrams with written explanations, etc.) but we figured players would just rage quit 😆

regardless, thank you for the critique, and for trying out our game!

Thank you for your elaborative review. We changed readme multiple times, hoping it would make understanding game easier.

But yeah we will add some visible indicators and stuff to make it more easier to understand.

Thank You!!

thank you! have a great day ahead

it really does feel great to be unethical…but not the smartest thing to do in real life lol

you are pretty much supposed to help your friend win more money, perhaps by not making him lose money, or by reducing chances of them losing money, OR by being obvious and hitting jackpots every time. you can refer to the reel sheet on the right and match the indices given in the incoming payload matrix.

regardless, thank you for trying our game out and reviewing it!

thank you 🙂‍↕️

Thanks for playing.

We discarded implementation where player had to type commands for doing stuff, I'm glad it's somewhere casual now.

thank you thank you 🙂‍↕️

yep, we are aware of the bugs with inputs. we had other bugs with the display scaling, etc, but unfortunately now that the updates are blocked we cannot upload fixed builds.

however, you still enjoyed is what matters. thank you for checking out the game!
