hiiiiiiii

Ahh the ultimate gambling simulator! It really is a NICE JAM (xd) entry! Never thought I would press the button... but here I am with the max score of 36...

And I would press even more! But the shock vfx/sfx are all the same (or at least it feels this way). You probably could randomize them a little bit. And there are too few upgrades. All this asides good game!

Btw congrats on your first GJW entry!

Great game! It's very polished - the visuals and audio are impressive and make for an eerie experience, and the pace of the upgrades felt good too! Getting a score of 30 is a very achievable goal but challenging(?) enough that you still feel accomplished for achieving it. Execellent work!!

Literally upgraded everything else before "cautiousness" to make sure I got my $3 what a shock milestone. Surprising amount of fun considering I'm just pressing a button!

Surprising game to say the least, but i love gambling my life, so let's keep pressing.

Wow, really cool game. I see you're a fan of odds like me :D

The theme and atmosphere are really really cool. Imho if you keep working on the atmosphere and you add some more mechanics you might end up with a nice little commercial game.

the first thing i maxed out was impatience...

In every aspect besides game design, this was incredibly well made! I couldn't help but feel disengaged despite the gravity of the situation, especially when grinding out the ending with all upgrades and achievements. I don't know how I'd improve on the concept, tho.

Cool (and slightly terrifying) game! Reminds me a bit of a project of mine about probabilities, check it out on my itch page if you want to maybe get some inspiration. You should also include a flashing lights warning within the game, just to be extra careful. I like how you are constantly a little bit on the edge, but still want to press that button. Good job!

Oddly satisfying. Look forward to the multiplayer version.

Finished the game :) Only saw "milestones" after reaching 30 clicks... It buzzed me at 30th and it was my 5th (last) life, but it still counted as winning :) Had fun, very simple yet addictive, felt the need to finish.
