Love the ambience and design of the game! I'm assuming the trick to winning is counting the cards as they spin around the table, which is an interesting idea! Good work , very unique.

loved the art, but there’s improvement in a how to play section, but amazing game!
the visuals are great and the gameplay is unique but im very confused on how to win....is there a strat or is it all luck cuz the table spins randomly and i have to guess when i should draw or am at the mercy of the scoundrel
Loved the mystery and abstract style of the two guys facing off in this dark room. Its a very cool vibe with so little on the screen!
I also wasn't sure how to win since I couldn't 'force' my opponent to draw high cards even when swapping because the table spin was random.
But very cool game and take on the theme.
Easily one of my favorite game of the jam so far. The SFXs are super creepy. I wish there was music but the silence also adds to the atmosphere. The faster table spins are hard to track but its satisfying when you do.
The game looks really good, but the gameplay feels really random and difficult to win. Because the table spins every turn, it's really hard to keep track of the information you gather.
The vibes are great, I like the visuals and cards chosen. A really nice detail is the dealer's lines. I appreciate how they react to the situation. I had a hard time keeping track of the cards I have peeked at, and I didn't understand why I would swap the cards in front of me. Game played smooth and I did not encounter any issues
The title\thumbnail is super catchy and totally got my attention to check this out!
The graphics and lighting are really great! I feel like some music/ambience would complement them really well
I found the game a little bit confusing at first - an in-game tutorial would have been nice. But the concept is super unique and really cool, so great work! :)
My pea sized brain can't store the location of 8 cards and keep track of them lol, but the atmosphere is great! I can see there being some good amount of strategy that could be put into this, it's well thought out.
Just some ambient noise would probably be nice, but overall I liked it :)
Pretty cool game Oistar! The dealer is genuinely on some powerball lottery winning levels with how often I was hitting blanks on him. Unbelievable luck aside, this is a good submission.
The audio and visuals are very resourceful. There's not a lot of them, but they're used extremely well. I think the ONLY thing you might of been missing is some sort of background/ambient noise or music. I think a campfire noise or some sort fire in the background would help set the mood very well.
I think the dealers AI could also be changed. I only saw him look at cards and he didn't appear to do any other actions but maybe that's intentional design or just luck. Also its funny how the dealer says "I got lucky" when bro went for a 1/6 shot and missed.
Overall I like this one, not only is the gameplay unique and fits with the theme well, but you designed it to have a very cool atmosphere.
Thankyou for the great feedback I'm glad you enjoyed!! The dealer's AI is perhaps too cautious I agree! as unless he shoots he will guarantee look at the cards if he doesn't know what at least one of them is, he will only swap or draw if he has seen the cards before, perhaps I'll change it so he peeks if he knows neither and swaps if he only knows one. I'm very happy to hear that the game had a good atmosphere, yay!
