How does the game fit the theme?
The game features gambling with your Player's stats. That can most definitely go wrong. It can also go pretty well though.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Playing Gambit is cool! I like idea with gambling but it seems that it need some tuning to be controlable hmm... For now feels pretty random :O who would have thought xD
Well done!
The gambling concept is really cool, well done
Cool game! I like the concept of gambling to get better stats. The visuals are really cool too, Well done!
thanks a lot :)
It took 2 attempts for an invincible strategy. Pump in luck > 100 and you become invincible! It's a very cool concept, like in the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Be nice if u load game at WebGl
yeah i didnt have much time for balancing the game at all so there is some op strats, good job finding this one ! Also i didnt know how important it is to add to WebGl since its my first game jam / game but i will definately add it !. thank you for your feedback.
WebGl build it's not complicated. Only 1 trouble, but when u know that it's easy to fix. It's adjust game size at Web. And use next time always some simple math formulas to calculate something.
Great idea. I would love to see more games experimenting with this idea of gambling your stats. I think it could work well in a lot of genres. Definitely something that I could see being the main hook of a larger game.
thanks, it means a lot !
It's a very unique idea. Hooked me up very well. Took some time to write the comment and I am gonna
go "Gamble" again. haha
thank you so much, means a lot :)
Hey I Just Played Your Game And The Features Like Rolling and Upgrading System were Awsome. Good Luck
Thank you very much !
I liked the idea of this, you gamble the upgrades hahaha. Very solid game <3
I had a lot of fun playing The Gambler. The risk of loosing it all on a pitch and toss is great. The player tossing cards(??) was a nice addition. Simple and effective.
Gambling stats is one hell of a great idea! Cool art style, beautiful background art and fun gameplay. It was hard to understand where the player should be located to dodge the bullets, but the gambling part made me play it again and again. Great!
Thank you so much for the feedback!, this 2.5D perspective is really new to me and found it hard to make it work but I liked the vibe and kept it anyway :3.
Cool game, would be nice if I could shoot the other way by just clicking that way instead of having to turn my player around
thanks for the feedback! i will consider it on my next try !
Very interesting spin on the classic side scrolling beat 'em up games! I really liked the pixel art animations for this game (the player throw and roll animations were really smooth)! Great job!
thanks for the compliments!
What an innovative beat em' up! I like the aesthetic, I just wish the fighting had a bit more engagement
I agree, that combat is a little boring. Thanks for the feedback!
I wouldn't say boring at all, I just wish I had more agency, maybe a dodge to avoid bullets and get out of the way in time!
there is a dodge in the game by pressing space, it gives you i-frames but it doesnt move the player. But it can be improved for sure
I'll give it another shot rn with that in mind
Why not toggle the collider of the player so the projectiles passthrough? You got a couple more star from me tho ;)
Much better, sorry for not noticing it!
I hope this is not what happens to me when i go to vegas. High rolling fun! Could be nicer on the fighting
Really nice art and animations. also gambling :D
Really nice art and animations. also gambling :D
if you are on windows, some times when you try to run the game it will pop up a window that says "windows protected your pc" and only the "dont run" option, but you can press more info and the "run anyway" option will pop and you can play it. let me know if that was your problem
Awesome! I like the Pixel Art Character, throwing animation looks so good!
thanks a lot!
I loved it!!! What a suprise of a game. It has a really unique mechanism which personaly never seen before! Keep up the good work!!
thank you !!
