I really like the audio, visuals, and concept of this game and the entire aspect of rigging the game for the casino integrates the theme well alongside making this probably the most unique gambling-related game I've played so far! One thing I would add is an indication for when you reach each day's target earning with maybe a ui popup with sound, but other than that, this is an amazing entry for your first jam! I hope you continue making games this polished!

First of all thank you so much for playing and for the kind words. The audio cue on hitting the daily goal is a great idea, thanks. We'll try adding it later post-jam with the tutorial (that we cut because of scope creep ^^) and a bit of story.

Pretty neat idea for the theme. I’ve never played roulette before, but from what I understand, you pick a number and try to make the ball land there. The twist is that you can control where it lands with good timing with space when stopping the ball, then reach a good score to win. The idea fits the theme well. Cool game and congrats on your 1st game jam!

Developer

Thanks for playing and the kind words, you're absolutely right on the gameplay.

Liked this game! I've never played roulette so I read the description many times before I could slightly understand what was happening. Wish that there was a tutorial level or an in game explanation so I could better understand. Great game eitherway!

Thanks for playing! We thought so too, but being our first jam we didn't organize enough to include it. We will add it after the jam is over :)

I wish to play a tutorial level at first. Because i struggle to exactly understand what i need to do. But nice game overall ^^

Thanks for playing! We will add it after the jam is over :)

I liked the idea of the game, i think if it were a bit faster it would be even more fun :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

It’s a hard game. One thing I’d like to see is the number I chose, so I don’t forget what I picked. I don’t remember that I have to memorize it, and then I don’t know what number I have to try for.

The game should also be fully playable with mouse and/or fully playable with keyboard. It feels unexpected when you’re doing everything with the mouse but then to stop the ball you have to press space.

Thanks for playing and feedback, we considered adding a ui element to keep track of the selected number but couldn't do to time and planning constraints

Nice little game. Liked the idea. But somehow I didn't understand how to select the square. Was only able to make it to day 2. 

Developer

Thanks for playing! To select a square you can hover and click on the square you want when the board appears at the start of every round. 
Sorry for the unclear tutorial, english isn't our first language, so maybe something got lost in translation :). Hope you had fun!
