This is the best looking game I've seen. The animations are smooth, the UI is sooooo innovative. I absolutely adore this game. The only gripe I have is, after a while, it got quite boring. I hope you guys work on this more because I'm sure you can come up with something to give it longevity and it would be a game I'd actually buy. Thank you for making it!

Great game! Graphics and sound effects are good, and I like the premise. I like that it's not just straight up gambling, and that there is some strategy to it. I also like how the money aspect is implemented into attacking, healing, etc. Good job!

Really well made game, the art and audio are so well done and the game is a lot of fun. Right now it feels like stun then go for the free attack with a big multiplier is a flawless strategy so I think the game could do with more enemy variety or a reworked stun if you decide the keep working on this. Overall great submission you should all be proud!

Incredible game, I would really like to play full Steam version. Like, this has a lot of potential for an interesting and deep roguelike. Right now game is a bit too easy, and you can just survive endlessly easily, but still I had a lot of fun playing, also game fits the theme very well. At first I couldn't get that I need to rotate the wheel, to place a bet, a small text tutorial might help with that a bit. Visuals are amazing and the atmosphere is too. Also, is there any way to download music from the game? I would like to listen to it anytime, because it's super cool

Thanks a lot, we might plan a full release of the game with way more depth and way harder everything revolving around luck and betting and decision making!
Thanks for your feedback. It really means a lot!

Yeah, don't let low ratings count discourage you guys, I will buy it on Steam the moment it releases (In case you do release it, could you reply to this comment please, when you finish it?)

Developer

Absolutely! thanks for the encouragement!!!

This is a very cool idea and I really enjoyed it! I did get caught off guard from the score wheels changing through. I was resistant to try the multiplier for some time since scoring 3 matching numbers would be pretty unlikely. I didn't realize the score wheels would change to fewer symbols after pulling the lever. Something similar happened with the upgrades, I wasn't expecting the wheel numbers to get significantly higher after pulling. Just having the wheels change as soon as the player selects a switch would completely fix that. It's not game breaking though and the game is still very good!

Developer

oh thanks, i'll definetly consider doing that on a smooth way to prevent any confusion in the future!

I LOVE this game. I got hooked up immediatly by the mechanics and gameplay (and I'm not really fond of slots machine btw). Also it's soooo fitting with the theme of the jam. Keep up the good work!!

Oh wow, actual high-quality stuff right here! On a full release, being able to change the difficulty level would be awesome (E.g., lower prices and such)

I really enjoyed it! The concept is interesting, and the style is great — I’d be happy to play more if you decide to continue developing this project. On the downside, the background music is much quieter than the other sounds, and the lever sound is quite irritating. Since the player interacts with it almost all the time, it would be nice if this sound were made lighter.

Developer

oh, thanks for the insight! gald you liked it!
