i've peaked. who knew that all i needed to do to feel fulfilled from life was to break a boomerang record. i can retire now! thanks for this <3
Not bad not bad. I liked increasing the proficiency of my boomerang and seeing it do better each time I tried to break the record. While a bit light, I think boomerang + slot machine is still a pretty good take on the theme. Visuals and audio are alright. I think competing in the great boomerang championship is VERY SERIOUS. Nice job!
I did it!
I'm back after playtest and the boomerang is looking cool now, and I like the little ledger to explain the combinations to the gambling addits.
I BEAT IT! I have the world boomerang record 🪃 ! After restarting because I gambled my money to $0 (I HAVE A PROBLEM).
Boomerang claps 👏!
The idea of the different minigames to get money is clever and led to some fun decisions (some of which paid off, some of which did not!) but I wish the boomerang gameplay itself was a little more in depth. Textures are pretty nice!
If I could make money like I do in this game, I wouldn't be in this game jam. A neat game regardless of the economical discrepancies!!
Think i developed a gambling addiction from this one, 10/10.
Very funny concept. Not going to lie, spent more time gambling than throwing boomerangs. Love all the little minigames included. Very serious. Good job!
Gambled my way to 100k before breaking the record. It's a fun little time :D 90% of gamblers quit before they win big. Nice job!
It's like three games in one here! I love the contrast between drab Work and action fun Gambling. Nice game!
Enjoyed multiple scene and a unique game loop (lol)
yo smh even tho this game was simple, it was alot of fun, the take on the theme is pretty cool with boomerangs and trying to break the world record, the game just does what it should do simply without trying to do anything crazy which is good, my only criticism is prob that there should've been a try again button when you don't break the world record instead of going back to the menu and try again there, other than that it was pretty fun!
This is a VERY different take on boomerangs compared to mine, and it's pretty interesting because of it. It just feels a lot like an idle game trying to do the job, which is accurate but makes it a bit boring. Also the actual slot looking machine seems a bit heavy on the gambling for a game, it might've benefited by being a bit more cartoony or fake. The music isn't bad though, and the art looks unique.
everything in the game was 3D modeled, and a FNAF-styled "2D game that uses 3D renders for its sprites' was the goal, I just ran out of time to do it with the shop and only got partly done with the throwing scene
Very simple yet very fun game.
Enjoyment: 5/5
I really liked playing through this!! It's a very simple little game but it's pretty chill and fun to go through all the different upgrades and minigames. + there's gambling I love gambling.
Creativity and Theme: 4/5
The game does indeed revolve around a spinning object, so the theme is well-respected. I feel like there could've been more spinning implemented in the gameplay itself, but this is still solid.
Visuals: 4/5
When I first saw the thumbnail i thought this was going to be some very wacky-looking game, but i actually really dig the collage/photobash look you went for. It gives the game a lot of charm.
Audio: 4/5
I really like the sound design and music choices. Very solid as well! :)
Seriousness: 4/5
Gambling is a pretty serious activity.
FINAL RATING: 4/5
Despite offering a very simple experience, I can't deny I had fun with this! It feels like a game that would be an amazing time killer if it was a fully fledged out project rather than a 7 week jam game. Good job! :D
i enjoyed the game
