Loved the neon aesthetics, and that the upgrades were also included in the slot machine. Think maybe some quick buttons (eg +10, +50, +100, -10, etc) would be good to include with the bet amount for those of use who are lazy. But I also liked that you can make the amount completely custom, so I hope you keep that in as an option too :)
Very cool aesthetic! I'm clearly not a gambler, because no matter what I do my money goes down. I thought if I bet 10 I'd only lose 10? Maybe explain how the betting works, as far as the outcomes and such, in the tutorial?
Fun little time waster. Graphics fit the gameplay well. Music is good. I wasn't sure what I needed to win, so it was kind of just guesswork. Ran into a bug in the tutorial where a couple of the green popup windows wouldn't go away. Played the Windows build. Other than that, it's a nice start!
I saw your game in the "very long rate for rate" thread. I was hoping you could give mine a try since I am rating yours? Thanks!

It looks nice, audio is nice too. It would be nice if you could use money one something else except only upgrades,maybe skins, though that would be hard to achieve in 7 days.
Good luck in game jam :D
I really enjoyed your game. I loved the music and the visual art style you went with. It reminded me of the neon vector style arcade games from the 80s. Overall it was a fun game to play. 10/10 would play again. Well done!
Love the visual, audio and the style of the game, they're very unique and amazing. The only thing I think could be improved is the tutorial texts, sometimes they're hard to read because they blend in with the background and maybe a transparent black panel behind them would help. Other than that, great job. This is the second game that I rated 5 stars on all categories and the first one was also about gambling XD
Plus, it's always great to see a fellow Godot developer
Hmm, that's odd. It's supposed to have a black background with a green border. Maybe something wasn't rendering correctly?
Oh sorry I meant the text tooltip for the items during shop phase
And also the text on the top of the slot machine can get overflow like this
Yeah, both of those were added as afterthoughts. We had bigger plans for them, but they never got finished. Thanks for the rating, though!
The visuals and the audio elevate this to whole other level. Needs some major balancing though. Great job!
Thanks for that! I had a lot of fun making the art for this. The balancing is way off, because we didn't playtest or balance at all. If we finish this, we're definitely going to work on that.
The vibes are off the charts and the game itself is simply heaven for my rotten gambler's brain! One criticism I do have is that the game's pacing is a bit too slow for my liking and having to manually type in bets really screws with the speed. Also I felt like I was always losing money, but that's just an average slot machine experience xD
With a bit more balancing and maybe some tweaks to the core gameplay, this game could become a real gem! Other than that, extremely solid work, despite my critique, I still enjoyed the game a lot!
Thanks! Never heard a comment about manually typing in bets before. I'll take note of that for if we finish the game!
Really love the vibes and clever concept, never thought about a slots roguelike before! Although it did feel like I was always losing money, I think one of the times I played I lost every single round until I ran out of money with $100 bets, so maybe the odds are something to look into rebalancing? It is pretty accurate to real slot machines as I feel like you always lose those lmao but for the purposes of a regular game it may be good for the odds to be more favorable. Other than that nice work and y'all should check out my game if you have the time!
Yeah, we didn't have time for balancing. If we fix this up for an actual game, we'd totally do more playtesting and make it more fun to play.
Unique game. Could have used just a full screen button instead of a window scale slider but thats just my preference. Fun none the less. Keep up the good work and maybe check out my game Climbin For Crumb
Thank you! We were going to put a full screen button, but we didn't have the time. Unfortunately, I can't play your game because I'm on Mac, but one of my teammates probably can!
All good. Hope to see more in future jam
First of all the visuals are really intriguing. The vibes are great. The music is awesome, kinda mesmerizing.
For the gameplay: I had difficulties. I was not sure why I lost my money so quickly. I tried different betting combinations but I couldnt find a pattern. I like the overall gameloop. Like balatro with a slotmashine. I can see, that you had to rush with submitting only 56sec before the jamend.
I think this deserves a postjam update and i can see myself playing this again!
Very nice vibes! The coolest thing for me is the moving camera - when you click credits or when you start a game! It looks pretty and smooth
Nice music and vibes, really like this neon outlines!
Lost three times and had fun! Risk is for sure involved :D
Indeed it certainly is, maybe even a little too much!
The vibes are definitely immaculate, love the visual style and music. Slot machine rougelike is a fun concept, and some of the ideas for new abilities are pretty interesting, like the +1 reel I got!
Had some thoughts tho. For one, it really felt like I was losing a lot more money than I should've been. And honestly, I really didn't feel like I was winning, like at all. Guess thats like real life tho haha
Maybe the player shouldn't be able to bet super low?
The UI feels a bit of an afterthought, which is a shame, cause otherwise the game looks super good. The text often bleeds out of the text box, and the font doesn't feel like it fits?
And sometimes it's not super clear to the player what the rewards of the pull actually mean, you feel me?
Still a really neat game though!
A lot of things we didn't finish in time, so sorry that the UI is lacking and the balancing is off. We had a really good UI concept, but no time to complete it, so instead went with what we could manage in time.
Glad you like the music though! I made it from scratch, I'm quite proud of it. There was gonna be more but we didn't finish implementing it in code, maybe I'll publish it elsewhere.
It seems some balancing is in order to prevent the player from betting too low, while still keeping them from losing so much money from low bets. It doesn't feel like how a real slot machine would run at all. Perhaps the bet should be the same every time? There are a number of ways you could fix it, but at the current moment, the main mechanic, betting and getting a return, doesn't work how most people want it to. Vibes are cool.
Sorry about the lack of balancing! We were in quite a rush in the last few hours so didn't have time to balance it properly
I love the graphics, I was drawing in immediately. I lost my money very quickly even after buying shop upgrades, so that was very confusing. I was losing almost double my money every time instead of earning anything. Even when I bet down to 10 dollars and I had 150 left, I had a game over immediately.
To incentivize risk we made it so you lose some amount on top of your bet amount, and that increases as you progress
Appreciate that you like the graphics! We didn't have time to do much balancing. Unless you get Twins and Three-Leaf clover in the first round, you're pretty much guaranteed to lose.
Hi! Somehow, the game opens up with a screen too big for my computer? Is there a way to fix it? I want to play, it looks cool! ^^
If you can reach the settings menu, you can turn it down there
That's the point! I only can see like the upper left corner where there is no menu :(
Can you drag the window to see the right corner instead?
No! I will try later to play macOS version on my laptop! :)
Have you tried yet? I just pushed a new update that should fix most screen resolution issues.
Hurray! It did work! I will rate and write feedback in a second :)
If it opens up with a screen too big for your computer, move the window over to the left to find Settings, then click on that and lower Window Scale. It's supposed to detect this automatically, but this fix should work.
love the graphics. They look awesome!
Thank you!
I lost all my money on my first 5 rounds (The average gambling experience). The visuals and atmosphere of the game are great too.
I do too; it's hard XD
Super cool. Cliche but good use of the theme. I really love the graphics. They look awesome!
Audio is awesome aswell.
Me like tron with gambling, 7/10. <3 Great work!
Thank you so much! I was the art director/shader programmer/artist, and it's really inspiring seeing these sorts of comments.
Thanks about the audio - I composed the music, originally there were gonna be another 4 tracks as the game progressed but I ran out of time. (Maybe I'll finish the rest anyway... could be fun)
Gambling! 👍
yes 👍
