How does the game fit the theme?
The game is a slot machine. When it pays nothing, something can go wrong with the machine!

But winning nothing isn't a sure strategy, even nothing can go wrong!

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Just the background and CRT effect shaders (they are from godotshaders.com)

Simple and cool game. Reminds me of Balatro

Nice little game! The game would certainly benefit from a little bit more UI/UX-Design, for a game that is like 90% played through the UI, the different functions of the UI are not communicated that clear. I did not understand, that you could upgrade the slot-machine, as the button for that is hidden better than waldo.

Developer

the button for that is hidden better than waldo

Yeah, I know… The button does get a little bit agitated and tell you to click it. I do worry that a lot of people will turn away not figuring out that the game is more than a simple slot machine. But I really like the “aha” moment when players figure it out.

Simple but nice!

I can't go beyond L.6 maintenance it needs very big number of coins. This gambling game need something other than pure luck. I must plan manipulation part as well. Addictive game.

Good job on this one ! Loved the game feel ! A background music should have been a plus imho ;) ! Well done

Despite not being into gambling really, I got sucked into this haha. I think you did a great job with the game feel. The CRT shader and look of things definitely helped things a lot, and I felt like the game was totally on theme. Excellent work!

Nice take on the classic gambling formula! kinda feels like a video game essay, too. good job!

Very fun, especially the added mechanics to change the odds and change the entire experience. Really cool twist to slots, nice job on this!

As someone who always had a bit of a gambling streak, I couldn't pass this one up. Well done, I enjoyed all the ways you can  change your odds, you clearly put a lot of work into this. My only recommendation would be making the button to access the upgrade menu a little more obvious. For oblivious people like myself, it was only until the thing was shaking uncontrollably saying click me that I even thought to click on that text. You might have people click off without noticing the best part of the game (imo), you should really highlight that with all effort you put in. Good submission :)

Aw dangit! Aw dangit! Aw dangit! 
(The sound design keeps me rolling please help)

Good concept, stylish if simple look, just enough sound to keep me hooked (admittedly, it is a gambling machine). It kinda breaks the whole point by getting a modifier on 1x, but I had some number-go-up fun anyway, and I'd be interested in coming back to see what else I can do.

Thanks for playing! Yeah… 1x is not a good option, I tried to let you know with a warning triangle 😛

The slot machine was very satisfying to spin!

The attention on polish for the slot machine is really nice ! And discovering the first time we can alter the machine's functions was a really nice experience ! It gets addicting really fast, congrats on your project ! :)

Cool looking game and nice SFX. I got addicted a little bit, I maybe better stop 😅
