What a ride! I saved the company, but at what cost! Had so much fun gambling my fortune, even won the jackpot! Great game!

XD glad you enjoyed the saving company from bankruptcy simulator lol
only that i took inspiration from a real story of the fedex owner story B)
Hello! I've played your game for a while and I have some feedback!
- I like that your upgrades are listed on the left, but you kinda still just have to remember what they do. It would be nice if you could click them or hover them to see.
- It would be nice to be able to skip the opening dialogue if you go back to the menu and hit play again.
- I don't know what the 3 above the bet bar means? 3x your normal bet would have been my guess but on a new run the normal bet is 20 and the top of the bar is 70 so it's not that I don't think.
- Sometimes the dialogue doesn't make total sense. The accountant said something like "At least we didn't lose money" when I rolled an x2 once.
- I like that every shop upgrade comes with a negative! This is especially good because it doesn't take very long for their actual costs to be negligible.
- My 'winning' strategy was to only take upgrades that reduced red spaces and ignore everything that increased them.
- I don't totally understand 'Global X2'. I get that it multiplies every spin after that but, for how long? I wasn't paying attention and it reset. Maybe when the target changes but I found it hard to test since it's RNG to get it in the first place.
- Items didn't seem to give their effect right away? I got the one that changed your bomb space into a 1X space, but I swear it didn't actually change until I did another spin or two?
- Having a 'Win' or 'Lose' screen instead of just the popup would be cool. I get that this was probably a time constraint thing.
- Having shop items you can't afford be transparent looked visually confusing to me the first time I opened the shop.
- It seemed a bit easy to me. I did 2 runs and I won both by just max betting every time. I know this is heavily RNG dependent though.
- Maybe this was a bug that hit me but once I got into the billions it would not let me bet above 2.something billion on a single spin anymore. Additionally, the bar on the right kept adjusting with my total money so it looked like my bet was getting smaller and smaller even though I literally could not bet more if I wanted to.
- And I did want to.
- I don't remember exactly what the number was but I'd guess it was 2147483647 because it was saved as an int?
And that's my thoughts on this one. Overall it was fun! I hope I came off as constructive rather than negative, I try to offer ways to improve to every game I rate.
I'm financially ruined, how will I ever recover from this:
(Oh, the max bet number is 2.14b, it's in that screenshot)
Have a wonderful day and good luck in the Jam!
yo thanks for playing it, and ngl i took the inspiration for the whole game idea from an irl story XD i think it was the fedex owner gambling his company's last savings in order to save it, when he gambled around 20k he actually managed to win and get 70k lol, therefore giving a new hope to the company and saving it to become what it became now
and you're right the luck could be a lil bad :') but i think you were def lucky but not getting a bomb at all lol (its chance is prob 2% i think?), and yes i was going to make it that the tutorial dialogue not appear again but i didn't have enough time to do that since the tutorial was a last min addition lol, and yeah sometimes the upg description text overlaps cuz it's too long even tho i tried fixing it by making the text auto size

yoo 3k billion is insane, good job really, well atleast we learned from our mistakes in the first 2 companies XD
and yes there are some bugged texts on the upgrades cuz they were too long sadly, even tho i tried fixing it by making them auto resize yk, but ig it wasn't enough :')
but thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it B)
yoo thanks for the feedback bro B) 99% of gamblers quit before hitting big, and you were the 1% ;)
you're right about not understanding how rounds work, should've explained that i the tutorial better (cuz tbf the tutorial was a last min addition :') ), but in general rounds work this way: you have a round target to hit, for example 1k, when you pass that you get to the next round, and that's it basically lol
the bet amount being capped was kinda unintentional at first, but then i decided to keep it as i felt it adds more challenge for the endless mode, and that's by making you buy and rely more on upgrades, cuz when done right, you can reach FARRR beyond that
but still thanks for playing it :)

yo thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it! all your points are valid as i was very close to implementing the "remove slice" upgrade but sadly time caught up to me :') i tried to combat the "unreadable wheel" by the text "you got: something something" but ig it wasn't enough, and wdym exactly by the last part? like wdym with the "actual fail state"?
First off, I did in fact notice the text at the bottom telling me what I got exactly, and it is nice, but I still believe removing slices and having a limit on the amount of slices to add would have been nice.
Secondly, the game's current way to lose is by losing all your lives from bomb slices, but after a few spins I had so much money I could just buy a lot of the upgrades that let me get around the bombs, so they become a non-problem, and I was more worried about the slices that took away my money like the "0x" slice, which I found to be way more of a threat (and thus would have been more interesting to me if I lost when I lost all my money)

ohh nice yeah i get what you mean, and yes you're right, but you are actually able to lose if you lose all money, like for example you can lose by having 0 spins left while you still didn't meet the target, or you can actually lose if you lost all money but i think that doesn't happen often cuz you need to bet all of your money like 100% and lose it all on a bomb slice (and yes bomb slices act like a 0x slice too), but yes i think having a 0x slice from the start would've been a lil better to add higher stakes to the game

numbers going up is all we need boss B)
for that problem that's why i added a text saying "you got something X" cuz i noticed that problem yeah
i didn't have enough playtesters to help me to know what to balance and therefore make the game more challenging but keeping it fun
but glad you enjoyed it :)

yessir glad you enjoyed gambling like a real boss B)
yes the luck can be a lil bad but once you get a good run going it gets really interesting ;) ;)
and yes once you reach the max bet amount you gotta start rely more on upgrades, and yeah i felt the urge to include the annoying dog as the accountant to the game XD

yo thanks for playing the game, how exactly you felt you weren't in much control, cuz i thought the upgrades job was doing just that lol, and yes "most" of the upgrades are high risk high reward, but i did include some ones that are neutral, maybe you just didn't come across them :') like one of the most op ones imo is the extra spin, which is pretty neutral tbf lol
Just did another playthrough where I tried my best to utilize the shop. Even took up a few things that had a decent risk. Getting more money was easier, but I lost because I rolled “x1” 7 out of 8 times… Even with good money management, I ran out of spins.
Maybe I could’ve utilized some upgrade that would’ve helped me survive for longer, but the run was kinda dead after the 7th “x1” spin. This was despite the fact that I had quite a few positive slices added to the wheel from the shop. Similarly, I could’ve landed on the “bomb” slice many times in a row at any moment.
Even with good utilization of the shop, the player’s run can be completely upended by things they can’t control! I still left a good review for the game, this is just a critique I wanted to leave in the comments!

no dw i consider every feedback, and i do get what you mean, but lemme ask you smth, did you come across the jackpot upgrade and the extra spins upg? those 2 alone can get you insane runs, and you can get more and more of them as you progress more into endless mode, but still there might something missing, but i think since i didn't add upgrades that increases other slice's chance that could've been it, cuz the only upg that does that thing is the double jackpot upg, but still thanks for playing the game :)
