Good premise! The UI and visuals were clean and easy to grasp, even though it took me a second to realize how the bonus wheel segments worked, that's because I'm dumb so its fine. The offline screen as a way to indicate the game was over was a nice touch, it amped up the feeling of "oh whoops, I messed up".
I'm just now realizing the game did give me an end goal, and I'm not sure if I was close to getting there. The audio left a bit to be desired for, and I didn't really FEEL like I did well when I landed a hard shot. Having a whole cast of characters on the wheel was a nice touch rather than just having a static normal guy sprite, made every attempt feel more grounded that you were trying to not hurt someone. Pretty good game!

Yoyo! Thanks for the feedback and for giving the game a try! SFX and the goal could def be overhauled, appreciate the call-out! I do know that SFX rn is bugged, so like, half the sounds, including the knife hitting the board, just don't work. We're looking into it. When it comes to the objective, the goal was to get $500,000. We planned on doing something before getting it in, but accidentally forgot to include it. You know how jams go. Either way, I appreciate you giving the game a whirl and for the comment!
