Semi-on-the-fly comments:

  1. As many other people already said, there is a resolution problem (I decidedly think that navigator versions are double-edged, both for technical reasons and as to what additional players they attract); nevertheless, I notice than zooming out allows me to see a bit more of the inferface at the edges. Also, toggling the navigator into fuller screen (pressing F11 at least on Firefox) helps seeing more.
  2. The voices are really reminiscent of Banjo-Kazooie! ^^
  3. The two first characters (the lady and the devil) have smiling images, but not the third (the blond man)?
  4. I am unsure about the criteria for winning and losing, but my intuition is that the best strategy is to not get any character’s mood too low, and to make several win their bets at the same time when it is possible.
  5. Won at the first roll once the fourth character was here (the brown-haired guy). Not sure why! Maybe because the devil got happy enough??
  6. Playing once more, I realize the order for the characters is random.
  7. I also wonder whether characters leave when happy enough, which might be the goal of the game.
  8. Only now do I see (thanks to F11) the word ‘Casino’ and ‘Casino Wealth’, instead of thinking ‘Health’! XD
  9. Ah, looks like we win after round 10, whatever happens??
  10. Third play/run: ah, this time, trying to make people as unhappy/sad as possible, reaching turn/round 6/10, there is no more die to roll! :o Is this a bug? The game seems stuck; the only character there is is the mother with her baby.

I might have missed it, but some explicit rules about how to win (and lose?) would help the player! I did not see them either in game or on the game page, although you were allowed to add them there. Actually, maybe the true interpretation of the game is that there is no real criterion, and it is all about morality: you can either make people happy or extort money out of them, it is all up to you, which is why you get the ‘I THINK?’ comment in the end! X)

The concept is interesting (rigged bets), but better knowing the rules or having some kind of objectives (keeping your notion of moral choice!) would help getting a better sense of the strategy behind the game and how rich it may be. Difficult to tell now, I hope you will update the game. :)

I caught ‘PolyMars’ in a glimpse right before closing the download panel of another game and was intrigued, as I had seen some of your videos earlier this year! Learnt another framework for this participation? ;)

I think this might be a cool game, but the browser version doesn't really work (as all of the other people have already pointed out)

Submitted(+1)

web browser version does not show the whole game, probably needs to be setup, so that you can toggle full-screen

Great Job

A pretty cool game, would be nice if the web version worked, well done :)

Submitted

Nice GAme!

That's an interesting concept! Very well presented as well :)

Regardless of the issue with the web version, I was able to enjoy it a lot!

(1 edit)

Yeah the resolution is a bit broken for me, but I really like the concept of the game.

It was hard to read what each player was saying at times.  Interesting game, great job!

Even being unable to completely play it due to cropping, this is probably the most interesting spin on the jam theme if you ask me!

for some reason the web version doesnt work because most of it is cropped out. would love to have a downloadable version.

I can't play it because of cropping problems. haha polymars go brrrrrr
