Please share with us the connection your game has with the theme "Tough Choice"?
It’s a game of chance where you must press one of the 7 buttons to defeat the "Blind Nemesis." You’re constantly faced with the tough choice of which button to press, and it gets harder every time.
Did you use any third party assets like art or music? If so, which ones?
All resources used in this game have been created by me, except for several sound effects. The sound effects when you win a bet, level up, or withdraw the betted money. (Sounds taken from 'Interface Bleeps' on Itch.io, created by 'Bleeoop').

I didn't understand much about the game, aside that is a betting game.
Do you need to find the right sequence to press the buttons?
If so, I would add a positive sound and feedback when pressing the right one, let's say you colour the button green when it's correct and then add a decorated ring rotating around it, then when pressing the second button, if that's correct you continue with the green colour and the ring around it, otherwise you mark it with a big red X and the next bet starts. Also add different sounds that give a positive and negative feeling according to the result of your pressed button.
Having played my games in the 8bit era I appreciate the retro feeling, so once you add the above mention visual feedback it will make overall a pleasant view.
If you can, it would be nice to add a multiplayer feature, where the host first create the sequence to press and the other players might guess. If the a peer win the sequence, that peer become the new host, get all the money of the other betters and a new button is added to create the sequence with. If instead no player guess correctly the sequence, the host get all players money and a new round of bet using the same amount of buttons is played.
I would start with 2 buttons minimum and when someone reaches and correctly find the 7 sequence buttons, the new winner start to be the host, but a new sequence with 2 buttons has to be created.
You can make multiple rule variations with these game, adding multiplayer features.
Definitely something that people might use to play as alternative to Poker or other betting games with friends during parties :-)
Hello, thank you very much for your comment and for having played it (I know it needs a small in-game guide to help the beginning player).
First of all, your multiplayer idea is really interesting, the truth is that it sounds good and I would even play it.
Although I don't usually do anything multiplayer because I think that since no one knows me, there would be very few people to play the game hahaha.
And to finish, actually the game doesn't have that mechanic you're talking about, I'll explain it a little bit above:
-You have a money, and you always have to bet something to reach the enemy blind.
-For each round that you pass, there is one more button available, and the number of available buttons is added to the multiplier of your bet.
-You only have to hit the correct button or buttons to win the bet (at the top right it says how many buttons are correct and how many are incorrect) Everything totally random.
-You only have to press one button out of all the available ones.
I hope this can help a little bit hahaha
Anyway thanks for your comment and I will try to improve the game and add things. :)
Oh, so it was much simpler than I though, tanks for explain.
Well, you can definitely add those suggested mechanics, with multiplayer just send messages from peer to the host and vice versa and you can easily do it. It doesn't matter if no on knows you, you can do it for getting use to create multiplayer games, increase your portfolio and show that you can build multiplayer games and finally invest for the future. No one might know you now, but the game will still be there. Even after one year from its release, people can discover and play it. Also you might be willing to add it to game portals, giving you an additional route for getting income from your game ;-)
HOW DID I MISS THIS THIS IS AMAZING! The graphics are sick, the music is amazing, and the concept is great too! Definitely a great entry!
Thank you very much for your comment and for playing it! It's much appreciated 😊
Didn't expect to be killed, you got me! I like the art. well done
Thank you so much! 😁
Me gusta mucho la estética y la sencillez de este juego. Buen trabajo!!!
Muchas gracias! Agradezco que lo jugases 😊
Gracias a ti! a mí me flipa jugar a tus juegos, siempre tienen algo direrente y original
Insane amount of polish, so juicy! The overall aesthetics and mood are top notch. It took me a while to understand the mechanic, even after reading your comment on the game page. Once I did, it took another few runs to get how to optimize betting and such, and then it finally clicked and got interesting. You mentioned that you’re not a fan of adding instructions in the game itself, but in this case being cryptic might drive away people that would actually like it once they figured it out.
I am very grateful for your comment.
It is true that it is difficult for me to add tutorials, maybe I can find a more or less interesting way to explain it without being exactly a tutorial. I will be updating it, adding and improving things.
Thank you very much for playing it! 😊
I am not sure if I fully understand how the game works or it's just random.
Still, I dig the art, juice and game feel of it a lot.
Thank you very much for playing it.
I really think about adding some kind of guide at the beginning to clarify how to play.
Basically you have to bet a certain amount of money to reach the enemy blind, and the more buttons there are active the harder it is to hit, but the higher the multiplier.
The 6 buttons in the center are totally random
(I hope this can help a bit to understand it) Thank you very much!
The visuals are awesome! Love the opening screen and the way you make me feel like I'm looking at an old CRT screen. I wasn't sure what was going on the first time I played and then was surprised by the ending (in a good way).
Thank you very much for playing it, I really appreciate your comment. I didn't really know if the CRT style could be liked, but it's something that catches my attention when I see it in other games, and I thought it could look cool. I played with that CRT idea for that ending 😁.
It's fun, it makes me nervous every time I place a bet, but the flashing images aren't so kind to my eyes.
Thank you for your comment and for playing it.
I wanted to give it a retro touch with this kind of design, I'll try to fix anything that might be annoying :)
Me ha encantado el juego y mas ser pobre en menos de 3 jugadas que le metí a tu creación.
La música también acompaña bastante bien a la tensión del juego haciendo que cada vez te sea más difícil decidir por un botón u otro.
Tema paleta de color, bajo mi poco conocimiento sobre ellas, me ha gustado también el tema pastelosos. Quizá yo hubiese metido colores más "eléctricos" pero acompañan muy bien al fondo blanco como tal.
Las mecánicas me ha resultado algo difícil de pillar porque no sabía cuánto ganaba o perdía cada vez que presionaba un botón, pero pueden ser cosas mías (no te digo yo que no).
Igualmente... Mi enhorabuena por completar el juego, tiene mérito en tan pocos días haber realizado más que una demo, a pesar que siempre hay cosas que limar ya sea por bugs tontos o por mero perfeccionismo.
¡Un abrazo y suerte compañero!
Muchas gracias por haberlo jugado y por tu comentario. Es de agradecer todo lo que me comentas.
Pienso que es cierto que falta un poco de feedback en algunos momentos para que el jugador sepa mejor que es lo que está sucediendo. E igual algún pequeño tutorial para simplificar las cosas.
Tendré todo en cuenta, incluso lo de los colores eléctricos, que realmente no se me ocurrió jaja
Muchas gracias! ☺️
Nada, a ti siempre por haber creado el juego compañero.
La verdad que es bastante innovador, no recuerdo si llegué a ponerte 5 estrellas Michelin en ese aspecto :))
No nos dan apenas tiempo para crear algo más o menos, siempre quedan detalles en el aire que uno se da cuenta más tarde, pero de todas formas mi enhorabuena ya lo sabes Iván!
I jumped into the game without reading anything, so I had no idea what I was doing. Then I lost and—oh wow!—now I really appreciate the design and layout. The effects are cool, and the gameplay is super responsive.

Thank you very much for taking the time to play it, your comment is much appreciated. I
'm really glad you liked it 😊
(I'll play Orebits as soon as I log on the pc) ;)
The game is very responsive and visually pleasing. The idea is interesting and original, but I would also like to go through the training)
Thank you very much!
It would be a good idea to have a training mode where I explain the gameplay, it's something I'll keep in mind for future updates. Thanks for your comment😊
This game has got such a dang cool style, I love the visuals and audio.
I have no idea how the game works, but I spent a good amount of time trying to figure it out by brute force...
It's clear you have to bet some amount of money ($1 or more) and then click a button, hope for the best. Except, there doesn't seem to be an option to NOT bet, so you have to lose money eventually? The buttons themselves are completely random, but the chart in the top right tells you what your odds are. If your bank drops to $0, you're done for. It seems there's more to the mechanics that I haven't been able to figure out, can anyone help me out?
Thank you very much for your comment.
I really appreciate that you played it.
I think I should implement small tutorials, but I have a special dislike for putting text in games. This game made me very hesitant if it would be well understood.
I think with your comment that you finally understood it, I hope haha, I will continue to improve it to make it a better experience.
