At first game sounded too complicated.

I never played craps, so i used tutorial, didn't understand anything. (less wordly explanations, maybe some infographics of the round?)
Maybe you could unlock new types of bets/mechanics while beating levels (rogue-like progression?)

After that I played 2 times, 1st one I tried to think and analyse my chances (lost on 8/10)
Second run I got chip where 5 get's into field bets + low numbers dices and turned my brain off with only field bets.

Playing endless I am starting to understand some rules, but still not quite sure. Still playing it for ~1.8 hours. Kinda cool but I am one tricking the game right now.

Not sure about paying to access bet upgrades. (Maybe this system works only on endless)
Isn't it easier to just inflate those upgrades in price? (Because before/10 you are most likely not gonna spend your little gold on bets that you can't control, you would rather get yourself a chip or dice to manage the odds)
Same with some terminology, what is considered "Rare"?

I like the juice in this game, sounds, music are not distracting. All little things and movements are good. (Even if it takes 50! seconds to count chips on ending level screen on 6x speed, maybe add 50k and 100k chips?)

I sold special chip in tutorial and the game soft-locked after payout(that wasn't enough for next level)
For some reason could not buy 10$ dice when I had $10
Sometimes snowball didn't reset on 7

Thanks so much for playing and the great feedback!

I'm definitely going to try and simplify the tutorial, infographs are a good idea.  I also think I'll introduce betting the individual numbers first, which seems easier to understand then the point system.

>Second run I got chip where 5 get's into field bets + low numbers dices and turned my brain off with only field bets.
This is a bit of an issue I've run into, if you get good rolls, you will just plow through the game super easily.  I think the challenge levels or "boss" challenges would help with this, and disrupt repetitive strategies.  Hopefully at least.


>Not sure about paying to access bet upgrades.

Agreed.  I need to figure out a better way to do it, I want it to be something like planet packs in balatro, maybe a cheaper price would help.

>Same with some terminology, what is considered "Rare"?
This is meant to be "non-craps" rolls, so anything not from 2-12 (IE: 13, 1 etc.).  Couldn't think of a good term for it.   

>I like the juice in this game, sounds, music are not distracting.
Thanks!  I put a good amount of effort into making the gameplay clear and have a related animation.

>maybe add 50k and 100k chips?
honestly didn't expect numbers to get that high lol, Can add them for sure

>I sold special chip in tutorial and the game soft-locked after payout(that wasn't enough for next level)
Lmao I thought I got them all.  Good catch

Thanks again for playing!

No problem, even if I didn't get the rules, I did enjoyed the game in the end (couldn't beat 19/10 bcz my win was so high game lagged and crashed ~356k on ~14:1 field bet without counting all multip.)

Additionally not sure why you can place chips anywhere:

Could also recommend:

  • to signal what bets are winnable/losable when you hover over bet with chip in hand, not after you placed it (like little glow over numbers)
  • show all betted money on any number
  • repeating previous bet (for one tricks :) ), maybe even auto roll if you are bold enough.
  • maybe add turns to beat so you can't slowly beat level (especially in endless mode)

Good luck with your gamble!

Haha, that's left over from an old control scheme.  Never thought to make a smiley with it though, that's great!


Those are some good suggestions, I've added them all to my TODOs.  Total bet amount, and replace bets are pretty standard features on casino craps machines, I should definitely have them as well.
