Nice work with the voice acting and the narrative, I like it. I think there might be a bug sometimes where I would pick red/black and the ball lands on that but I still lose time, or maybe I didn't understand it correctly. Anyway, creative take on the idea

Very fun to figure out a good strategy. Feel like I would enjoy this a lot with a little more polish and features.

Thelonious' ClimbThis has a rreally neat concept behind it! I think if you leaned more into using your money for other things, like completing tasks that take time, it would be even more interesting. It's still great as it is though! Great work!

CountDOWn to WINGoing all in on red the first turn over and over was nowhere close to enough to win, my strategy sucks. I can't see what's the actual strategy for this game, since improved modifiers means worse chance....
Anyway, neat character design, nice cutscene to start things off. I couldn't tell what the demon's dialogue was saying and was lost as to what the buttons all did at first. I eventually figured it out but still couldn't get far. Guess gambling isn't for me.

EffervescentThis is a fun one! I thought gambling with time fit the theme well! I see in your other responses that you're considering adding more content, which is what I was going to say. There's a strong foundation here, and I'd be interested to see where you can take it!
I also made a 3D gambling game (about dice), you should check it out! It doesn't have any demon girls, though...

Dice DownGreat game! It is a neat concept, but to be honest, it didn't fully click with me. The main reason is that after a few rounds, the gameplay starts to feel a bit repetitive. I think with more variety, this could be really awesome :D! Also, the roulette rules weren't immediately clear to me at the beginning. Still, it's a solid game with great potential! Maybe exploring a synergy system could make the overall experience even better, too!

Adventures Of JacariloProgrammer here. Thank you very much for the kind words! Yes, I know, it can get very repetetive, but I was running short on time, and I was doing the card system the last day like 3 hours before deadline, so I just threw together 3 basic cards to have at least something. We are discussing if we wanna polish it more and add more content later for this exact purpose actually.
Thank you very much for playing and mainly for the feedback! :)
I really like the idea of your time being your "money", nice job! A few tweaks here and there and I think this could be something really cool!

Circus ShowtimeNot that it mattered with this game, but with dialogues, written texts would also have been nice. I haven't played roulette ever, so I was confused how we are suppose to play, but after a little while I figured it out.
First time I tried betting all in red, and I got +300 points, I was like hell yeah lets go again and then I lost xD
Fun concept.

TimedHi! Programmer here, first of all, thank you for the kind words! Now, we made the game with considering people going to know how to play roulette, but yeah, I definetely could have made some tutorial :D. And for the dialogues, the thing was we were adding them like 15 minutes before the extended deadline, so I didnt think about them anymore :D
Once again, thank you very much for playing and the feedback! :)
Luck in roulette has always been meh. Became too greedy and lost 600 in one go xD Fun little game with the take of betting your lifetime on the line. The audio repeating is a bit annoying when hovering on which number to bet on. The art looks good and the sword animation after you die is nice.

CHRONO HUNTThe outdraw animation looks good, so it's not as frustrating to lose.

1999 Midnight DispatchMy luck always betrays me! And the demon lady always laughs at my funeral. Nice game. 10/10 and wanna be played again and bet my life.

Desktop HazardReally good game I think with more time you could have polished it even more. However I've become too greedy in my first play 😂Lol
Great Game !!

BakingBommerI think the game's intro was the funniest thing I've seen all day, hahaha. Someone on your team definitely deserves an award for coming up with that idea!Huge compliments to the two voice actors as well, they really add an extra layer of charm and personality to the project.
The core idea is really interesting, and I loved the decision to combine Blackjack with roguelike mechanics. It works surprisingly well!
Overall, congratulations to the entire team from all of us as well! Hahaha ❤️

Yume: The Last DreamHi! Programmer here! Thank you so much for those kind words! It really warms my game dev me :D. Yes, Fruxior is the one who did the intro and Luasito drew monkeys, and when I first saw it I absolutely loved it :D. And yes, voice acting was such cherry on top :D. Now im glad you enjoyed the mechanics! And once again, thank you so much for both playing and for the feedback! :)
Fun game! Took me a couple tries before understanding how to improve your odds. Took me a while but eventually won in 107 spins. I enjoyed figuring out how the cards worked. The art is fantastic (great job with the Hot Devilish Croupier and the awesome camera for spinning the roullette), and I enjoyed the silly opening cutscene. Two small nits: I think the card cost increases but the text describing how expensive a card is always 60s, and I would super appreciate the quality of life if you kept not only which spot you're betting on but also how much you were betting. Overall great job!

Time KeeperProgrammer here! Thank you very much for these kind words! :). 107 is good!! :D. Yes, I know about the label, I forgot to write the line for it to update because I was finishing the last things under pressure :D. The art is marvelous, both artists gave it all, and not everything was included because of time. About the QoL, we were discussing this, and we decided that reseting the bet might be better, but I could have handled it different way such as a toggle.
To sum it up, thank you very much for the feedback and for playing! :)
