The cutscene art is really impressive, would love to see it match the Bingo. Also, as others have said, it's difficult to know when you're doing well sometimes. Could the Bingo be simplified?
Thanks you for your feedback.
Really nice game I like the twist on bingo and the theme that you loose years maybe make it a bit darker to fit the death theme also the upgrades are great
Great Work. :)
This was great! The cutscene was wonderful, and having a good story with stakes really set this game apart from the others that I've played. I also liked that the game was short, sweet and easy to follow. The tutorial was a helpful touch, too. Many games put their instructions in the description, so that was neat to have. Well done!
Really great music, and cutscene at the start. Tutorial was very helpful though at times I felt the game lacked a little clarity. I would have liked some visual indicator that would tell me if I hit 'Bingo' that would result in me losing.
Creative on new pattern for bingo and the upgrade. But the game lack of juice so sometime I feel lost and dont know if I play correctly or not
Nice game ! pretty fun too
I don't know a game of BINGO can be this fun, I don't even know there are other patterns which you can call a BINGO. Very impressive & creative take on the theme, and executed beautifully. Awesome work, would gamble again!
The creativity here is insane, and the gameplay works well. Took me a few tries to get the hang of as I never really understood bingo but it was enjoyable. The story is also unique in this jam and really added to the vibe. Easy top 10 methinks.
this was definitely a fun game, i had to give it a few try to understand and also the soundtrack is amazing but overall it was a fun experience
Think bingo was an interesting choice for this game, I like it, it's unique. The soundtrack in the game is amazing. And although I'm not the best at bingo, I had a good time.
The game was a bit difficult to understand (I never played bingo before), but eventually I was able to complete the game. The music was amazing, the visuals were pleasing; nice job!
Now I'm sad. The gameplay is pretty fun, with some feedback like audio when call or BINGO, will add live to the game. And i think you mush reconsider the color that used because it's quite bothering (for me haha). Some grey scale (match the stories of old man who can't barely see color) or square color (More Colorful). Great game!
Thanks for your feedback about the visual. Glad u enjoy our game:D
Really innovative gameplay, at least I have not seen anything like it before. It was a little confusing but I feel like this can develop into something really promising.
The story initially got me invested, but it was the gameplay and the decisions on which patterns to follow that kept me engaged. Very novel idea and concept, wouldn't have ever thought of making bingo be played like this, and especially with my old man on the line.
I like the story and vibe, remind me of a novel I read years ago. Gambling on life really fits the theme of the jam. Good job!
I really like the points being the amount of months you have left to live. Took a fair amount of attempts to beat the boss but I did eventually with a double score upgrade. If you had some effects and sound when counting the months gained it'd probably feel really good to get a high score.
Loved the idea of the biscuit being my life itself and playing with it
This is one of my favorites so far. The game is solid, addicting and very fun. Also this idea of betting your time to live fits so well. Congrats!
Happy to hear that! :D
Very fun concept I enjoyed this a lot!
Cool theme and cutscenes, visuals and sounds need some polish. Overall good game, would be cool if there would be more upgrades to choose from.
