Great game! I had a lot of fun collecting coins and gathering upgrades. Great visuals, and a nice pause menu :)

I only really have two gripes with the game: The lack of music can dull the gameplay somewhat, and holding down the crank got kind of boring quickly. 

I think my issue with the crank was less the gameplay and more my view-- if I got to see dice fall down or grind while I kept the wheel going, it would have been more fun. 

Regardless, its a minor complaint, and I heavily enjoyed the game. Well done!

My only complaint is that it was extremely hard to play with a high DPI mouse. Mouse sensitivity settings or limits would've been nice. That said, after work arounds on my end, it was pretty fun! I could see spending a lot of time on the concept. The first upgrades didn't feel monumental enough to encourage me to keep going for a long time, but there was a part of me that wanted to. Overall really good job!

by far the game i played the longest in the jam, something about it is very satisfying, visuals and physics are really nice, would've enjoyed it more if it had music honestly

Cool idea, was a bit slow to get into, but got very addicting and fun to play

Very, Very nice game! Cool concept, and also introduced me to whatever a "flywheel" is lol. Would've benefitted from some music but overall, very nice game! Loved the physics too.

We are "game name" brothers! Loved your game, great visuals. Solid theme but at first it was confusing but i quiqly figured things out! It feels kinda slow (my game also... maybe its name curse)

Polished visuals, decent audio. I like the concept, reminds me a lot of those old Roblox 'Tycoon' incremental games from like 8 years ago lol. I will say more speed for the flywheel so you don't hold 'e' so long to get to max would be nice.

I love art, but I don't really understand how to play; after rolling, but you have my 5 stars is beautiful to see

This is a very well-made and highly polished game. It genuinely feels like something I would watch someone play on YouTube. I had to force myself to stop playing once I realized how many more upgrades there were to get and how long I'd already spent playing the game. My only complaint is that it takes too long to really get going. Maybe the wheel speed could be a little faster from the beginning? Other than that, though, amazing job! I would seriously consider purchasing this on steam with very few changes. You should look into turning this into a commercial game!

very kind words! Thank you
