1. This is a deep and poetic game. Innocent at first with it's charming visuals and relaxing music. It disguises itself as nothing but a chill way to goof off with a random number generator. However the "More Greed" button offers the enticing option to increase your winnings each spin, at the cost, of costing more. Eventually as the player progresses, they become blinded by greed, risking everything for the chance at fame and profit. The game sheds it's true colors, not as a chill slot machine simulator with nice SFX and a cool flower petal background, but a metaphor for the hopeless agony of uncontrollable addiction and ironically, greed. The color palette only serves as a cozy blanket to hide the subtle but dark undertones of losing your family, your life savings, and the trust of the ones you hold dear, all for the sake of one more spin.
2. How did the #1 guy on the leaderboard get that much how how
1. thanks for playing!
2. That guy is super rich, and I don't know how.
Solid game. Good visuals and music! Nice concept aswell
Thanks!
Pretty simple but the leaderboard was definitely a nice touch! The greed button was a good addition too because at times it added a degree of stress when you started to get low and were on a high spin cost. Overall solid slot machine game.
Thank you
that was a fun and addicting game. the leaderboard was a nice touch, made clicking the greed button more enticing. Very poetic that you can't decrease the greed amount once you've clicked it.
Thank you!
Simple game, yet very engaging and a real lesson on greed 😦 I had to stop myself from playing hahahah! Happy to have gotten 6th place :-] Amazing work!!
Thanks for playing!
Really fun game lol. Simple concept and great execution. I got third place for now cause bigger number make me happy :p
Awesome! Thank for playing!
The leaderboard was a great touch that cemented the game. A fun game to play.
Thank you!
The use of the limitation with the leaderboard was creative. it's hard to see a twist in a slotmachine that works without real money.
Thanks for playing!
Very cool use of the limitation and nice art!
Thank you!
The leaderboard was a smart addition! I come back time to time to try and be 1st haha
Thanks for playing!
Remember when casinos, or casino game modes, were in kids games? This game reminds me of that. Good stuff
Thanks! And I think I remember.
It's a nice looking slot machine! Also, leaderboards are super impressive! I wish I had done that.
Thank you! GDevelop makes leaderboards so easy to add, it took me like 2 minutes to add.
Great use of the restriction. I lost it all before I got on the leaderboard lol. Addicting loop!
Thank you!
I do like the limitation being used accurately but I'm not sure about the theme. Is a dragon sprite enough to call it a day?
The dragon theme is not required. So I just thought I would add a dragon on the slot machine, and spend more time on the Limitation.
I mean... idk lad its in the title.
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL "ENDLESS GREED"!
There could not possible be a game that implements this restriction better than this.
Artstyle is nice, simple and effective, 3 colors is all you need, although white color of font doesnt't fit everything else, but that's nitpicking
Gameplay is the definition of "Endless Greed",
don'tget it twisted.Music is perfect for this kind of games, really puts you in relaxed state, similar to having a drink, asking to put one more coin in
Only one thing I could ask for - to not display all icons simultaniousely, you've gotta keep up the tension of showing last item
Thanks for all the feedback. I'll keep it in mind.
