Second on the beautiful main menu scene. Was a very fun spin on traditional blackjack with stealth elements. Nice work!

Cold Hard CashAs soon as I ran the game I was blown away by the quality of a freakin’ main menu, those were some really nice looking hover effects. I have to be honest though… I never really learned blackjack, so I didn’t do many smart moves that help me win… Still, I have to admit that the card-peeking mechanic is brilliant and adds a lot to the game. Even without fully understanding everything, I still managed to win a couple rounds when gambling with all of my chips!

Gregory T. PenguinVery unique concept and the overall look is very stylish and slick! Also it would be nice to have a tutorial as to how the card game works because I had never played it and was a bit lost haha

Slick RacingReally nice animations and models, great art style. The music fit in really well too. And of course, gambling made it all the more fun :D

Reflex ProtocolSuper well polished and super slick! Loved the idea that you had to wait for your items to arrive. Definitely felt uneasy trying to slip one past the dealer, and especially uneasy when the table set on fire. Very well done game!

Nowhere WestSlick gambling, that's an amazing concept
I felt unnerved all of the time due to the music and the dealer
But I got to the $10k on my first try after 4 rounds :)
You can totally make a full game out of this, congrats!

Slick TricksFirst match I played just normal blackjack before realizing I could cheat haha. Really cool atmosphere. Even the main menu looked so slick. Once I had a bug where even when I lost I won the pot. This was great.

Crackling SignalsVery nice aesthetic here. I like the theme interpretation quite a bit too. I like the realistic ways you can cheat but I had a hard time using them well to get a reasonable advantage. Seems like you want to play conservatively but then swing huge bets on rounds where you stack cheats to win? I'm unclear on the best strategies but it certainly made me think.

Four Faces of FenrickFlash game nostalgia in the best way! Blasting turtles is oddly satisfying. The death voice lines had me dying laughing.

Slippery Slope ServicesThis game is awesome! The art is great, the sound design is great, and the vibe is immaculate. Only feedback I can think of is it would be cool if it was a bit harder to get away with the cheating. Awesome game!
