Really interesting game, liked how it was literally gambling months of your life away. Only wish was that the bingo game's visuals were a bit more dreary / chilling to fit in with the overall theme, as they seemed very happy and bright and then suddenly you died :D
Thanks so much for the feedback, we’ll definitely try to make it better :)
I liked the game. Soundtrack is amazing (oh it is asset pack never mind) However i have one request. Can you make the numbers of different colors? It's a bit eye-straining otherwise to be able to spot patterns.
Thanks, we’ll do our best to improve it :D
Quite an interesting premise, the opening was quite nice as well. The gameplay for me was a bit confusing though even with the tutorial (I'm not sure what the cost of each call each time etc). A bit more guidance would definitely help
Thanks for your feedback! We’ll definitely try to improve the tutorial
Haha cabycat, nice to meet you (lol)
The squid game of bingo
Great balatro-like visuals. Cool story, gameplay was hard to understand for a first minute, then i got it :)
maybe more visual tutorial can be nice. Remember: players are stupid (i know this, because i am one of them :)
Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
I died alone, but had a lot of fun doing so! Fun take on Bingo. The intro really set the mood :)
Glad you like it:)))
I liked the story/intro and the art the most. (I might not be much of a bingo player, hehe.) Good job, guys! It took me a while to understand how the game works, but thankfully there was a tutorial button. I think this game would benefit a lot from teaching the player step by step.
I like the BG music, but the only downside is that the intro is unskippable.
I've played your game. I like calculations and math, so I like it. Keep up the good work! I hope you can develop more unique games.
This is pretty great! The music makes it feel very high-stakes, and I think a bingo roguelike is a really fun combination. The upgrades felt really impactful, too. Nice work!
Damn, the game really gives out Balatro style with high potential. If the game had a better UI and feedback, it could be really great! > v<
It's a simple bingo game with some twists. I got quite confused at first and only half-understood the rules. But I kinda get what the game is about a few tries later. My biggest complaint is actually the story. It was a great hook, but the actual gameplay feels kinda detached. Other than that the game has neat.
I was confused on how to play the game, but I Was still able to enjoy it, good artstyle and music, Great game.
I love this games art style and story
It can be a bit complicated but a pretty good game over all
I loved the introduction and it got me invested! the game is fun, but even with the tutorial, I was guessing sometimes. The concept, story, and execution is still so good! Good job overall
great story and intro, made the gameplay really worth investing into
I usually don't like the story of games, but this one was really good. Besides the confusing game core at first run, it was a fun game to play, and everything started to seem better in the next rounds!
Loved the story! The way you implemented it with the music and pixel art was great.
The audio matched really well too.
Took me a little bit to understand the tutorial screen, but eventually got it.
Very creative take on bingo!
Great story, and I liked the art a lot.
I really loved the story and the pixel art in the beginning. Interesting idea!
