This was a neat idea that adds a fun new way to look at Poker. It was very tense when I went all-in on a hand and had to hope I didn't miss something and create a straight for an opponent without realizing it.

In my first attempt I went all-in on a flush looking to tie with another player, but I forgot about how the held card breaks the tie. So your hand-evaluation system seems to handle the edge-cases, but it did mean I let Jimmy get killed one time.

If you added the ability for opponents to fold, it would create a fun extra layer since you would have to make your opponents' hands look really good while still making Jimmy's hand win.

Nice work!

Of course, I thought about adding fold, but I didn't realize that player would have to balance it wow
It makes it much more interesting

I'm making a hard mode update (you still cheat, but it's closer to real poker), so if anyone is interested in this, leave a comment. I'll ping you when it's done!
There will also be fancy card animations

Amazing artstyle! And the story is great too (touche thank you for the skip button). I wish I knew how to play poker better for this!

WHOAHHHH! Love love LOVEEEEE the art-style, suuper well done! :D

Cool concept. I really like the art and music

I was going to do something like this but chickened out and made a slot machine... who's AI was a pain in the arse to balance anyway. Also love the art style.

This was awesome, great art style and concept. Definitely expand on this with maybe suspicion form the other players you'd have to balance. Happy to save Jimmy!

Amazing game, very nice and polished. It is very fun to play poker but have control over all the cards.

Cheating has never felt so good! Great game, great art, had a blast keeping my friend Jimmy alive!
The one issue I have is that the suits on the cards were sometimes hard to make out. Otherwise, splendid all the way!

Amazing artwork! Music fit so well too. Lil Jimmy, you sly cheating scoundrel! XD Loved the story lol

that's something! one of the best games I played in that jam, very cleaver idea, art is on point, and difficulty is perfect, well done :D

There's style dripping from this game!

I love the concept, too, but it drags a bit if you play too risk-aversely. That's more of a me problem though. I'll probably come back to this when I have more time. Good work!

Developer

You can always put 4 cards, then press next round and go All in, if you know what to put next and sure you're gonna win (don't tell anybody haha)

I might be a bit biased for being a poker fan but your game is absolutely amazing. Simply phenomenal. I was going for a quickplay and have been it for a long time. Congratulations! Absolutely amazing!

Loved the artstyle and the music was chosen wisely. I think the concept was funny and the introduction given to the game felt great. Solid gameplay, didn't find any bugs. Congrats!

However, i feel lie the game feels too long if you no are used to play poker.

I love the art, idea, and music! It was really well made, and kinda reminded me of old flash games! Overall a wonderful experience, much better than my game.

Fantastic! Art is awesome! The gameplay is great, but help isn't fully completed for newbies 

Developer

Yeah, only after release I noticed that combinations in help aren't even ranked, so it doesn't explain much
