I like the concept but was confused and felt like it was a little buggy. Great art style though and great plot! Good work!

I like the idea and the visuals. It’s basically black jack with special cards and less gambling. Which kind of also makes it very clear how to play very fast. It#s relatively easy to win most of the times, but its very hard to get the opponent to 0 credits, since the wheel is fully random and stuff like switch and equal make it really hard to end this once you got a high amount of credits and spin to equal. Could be different with the cheats inplemented. Overall a cool game, i enjoyed playing it. Keep it up! :)

I love the art style and gameplay-wise I enjoyed the card game! It would be cool if it was designed with some more interactions at play. Since the current strategy I had was play kings instantly, hold on to tens, get rid of high cards. But I never really needed to vary this strategy. I also couldn't help but feel that it didn't matter whether I won or lost the card game. Since either way I could gain, lose, or swap tokens. In particular I think the swapping makes it very hard to progress. But overall this game was still cool! Would love to see it fleshed out more :)

I really enjoy the card game, art style and the sound effects of the cards. The only thing is I've been playing for like 20 minutes and despite winning around 80% of the time, because of swap and equals on the wheel I'm not really making any progress. Idk I could just be getting very unlucky. Otherwise great game. Another thing is I would have loved audio for the wheel spinning.

Despite the simplicity of the game there is quite a bit of strategy (but a bit too easy)  into this game, which makes me wonder if this is based off an IRL cards game?

(Art is great too!)

the arts are of great quality,  very well made to give into the creepiness.  I won all the decks. GG

I really loved this, also a surprisingly large amount of strategy in a card game made in 7 days (unless its a real card game that I have never heard of, of course). Great game, keep up the good work!

Poor guy though, the sounds at the end were brutal.

The style and story were very cool, but the game was very lacking in the gameplay department. While the 99 game was cool, the special cards really decided who won, and the equalize and swap on the wheel meant winning didn't always mean winning the full game. Also, when opponent reached 110 score, it went back down to 10, which makes me think this game has no ending, which really killed the stakes for me. In conclusion, awesome art, awesome story, gameplay needs work.

Greatly enjoyed this! If there is one thing i might add is, i wish that left clicking dialogue would just show the whole text, and then clicking again would skip. I didnt want to skip dialogue i just read really fast lol. And also if your game could check if we already seen the intro before and skip it, it would be nice. Good job on this submission!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll probably update the game maybe when I wake up to include that feature (I need my beauty sleep stayed up too many nights 😭)

Go get your rest lol, the game is still pretty good!

Very good submission! I think the idea and the style was great. Perhaps a bit dialogue-heavy before the game actually starts. But it was fun! Sadly, I think the ballance is the biggest issue. I didn't manage to win or loose because it was never the feeling of either winning or loosing. And since the wheel could be both negative and positive regardless of the player winning 99 or not it sort of took away the wish to win 99. After a few games it started to get a bit repetitive and it felt like the wheel-spin got longer each time, so I had to leave it because I had no win in sight.

But the 99 card game had some good potential! In quite a few rounds it felt as though the real game was just "who gets the king first" and as ThatGyuStove said, other than having a king, it was sort of just a grind between 0-80.

But your top categories are the presentation. The audio and visuals are really nice and it is a great submission! It's just the ballance that brought it down a bit but even so, you'll get a good score from me. :D 

Great work!

Thanks for the feedback! I will admit the balancing for the game wasn't the best at all (I have no clue how to code proper AI 😭😭), and yes I noticed the game was hard to win as well as getting a bit boring after a while, I was originally going to use the cheats as a way to spice up the game but obviously that didn't happen 😔. I'll probably update this game more after to make it more balanced and interesting.

I really enjoyed this game. Props for that note at the bottom of the "cheats" block on the left that made me laugh. 

I would love to see something like this continue to be developed but there are some minor things I personally would change.

- Playing the cards from 0-80 doesn't have any stakes. I felt like I was just throwing anything on the table to get to the last 20 points that's where the game felt like strategy came into play. I would love to see the early game be made a bit more interesting
- The wheel spin could use a bit of tweaking I felt like I got stuck in a bit of a loop of lose , gain 10, switch, repeat. Felt like I was stuck in limbo making it very hard to try to win.


Overall this is fantastic, great work!

Thanks for the feedback!  Yeah I was originally gonna add cheats to the game to spice it up but then the last hour rolled by and I realised I was not getting that done 😭. Probably later on if I further develop this game I'll make it less dragged on especially with the 99 game.
