Godot developer and inspired by blackjack… colleague :) Simple, pleasant audio & visuals, every push of potion involves risk. Nice game!

I really enjoyed this, the visuals and the audio were perfect and the level of tension when trying to decide whether to add just ooooone more potion was really fun!

Developer

Very kind words! Thanks for playing!

Pretty good. i like the concept. quite confusing at first but got that hang of it. 

Developer

Thank you, I have a tendency to make esoteric games that confuse people, I have to improve on my communication but thats not the fun part of making games 😂

I have a good time playing, its wayyyy to easy but the idea is fun.

You just need to add more risks and maybe powers to add more mechanics and you could end up with a really fun little game.

the music is nice and the art works well even if very simple.

I think the gambling theme is very well respected here and i think the incremental risk taking is well transpired into the gains, low risks, low gains, as it should be :)

good job

Developer

Thank you! Making this game harder was actually way more difficult than I first thought, and it being a gambling game I find it hard to strike the balance of the brutal gambling chance vs keeping it fun as a game. When I finally got it all plugged together at first, I realized that it wasn't actually hard at all and a conservative approach would always win, which meant that I had failed in making gambling a central theme for the game. So compromises were made to have a playable game that you could actually lose by the end of the jam 😂

Thanks for playing!

i had troubles to try to implement the gambling mechanic while keeping it fun and engaging, i think even if its a fundamental and basic aspect of games... gambling is actually a challenging theme :)
