[Playtest] Need feedback on my Jam entry!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on a game for this jam called Craps With The Devil .It’s an atmospheric gambling game where you wager your soul and roll physics-driven dice against an opponent who hates to lose.

Since the core mechanics rely heavily on realistic dice physics and dynamic lighting, this is a downloadable PC build (not WebGL).

As a solo dev, getting some fresh eyes on this before the jam ends would be a lifesaver. I'm especially looking for honest feedback on the dice-throwing feel and the overall difficulty.

You can grab the playtest build here: https://wtheos.itch.io/craps-with-the-devil

Thanks in advance for your time!

Amazing game, getting strong Inscryption vibes from it! I'm not sure if this was luck or by design, the poor guy won the dice only once against me (twice if we count his cheating). I didn't even have to use my powers!

It definitely needs volume control and a skip cutscene button, lol. As for dice throwing, it felt a little unpredictable. At times I'd barely hold the spacebar and the dice would get flung off the table, other times I'd hold it down for a good couple of seconds, and they'd make it only halfway down the table.

Also, the instakill slice on the wheel does feel a little unfair, as it takes away a lot of player agency if you land on it after the AI cheats. Perhaps it would be more fun if landing on it took away a gold coin and replaced one of the green spots for a red. Or swapping the entire wheel for all red for the next X turns.

Thanks for the awesome feedback! You must have been having a really lucky day. The dice throws are entirely physics-based, so the outcomes rely purely on physics rather than being by design. You can be sure I will definitely take all your suggestions into consideration

Looks really cool, if you add mac or web support, I'd love to play it!
