thanks for giving us your hard earned real life physical dollar bills!!!!
the balance is definitely one thing that i'm kicking myself for neglecting to check lool. i also really should've put it in the game or the description somewhere but the payout condition starts at 3 matches anywhere on the board, which isn't clear at all in hindsight.
little company secret: while payout starts at 3 matches. the multiplier gets higher with each match. and as we all know, 99% of gamblers quit before they hit it big, and you only lose when you quit! so get back in there champ!!
(disclaimer: real gambling isn't a good idea so give us your fake money instead)
jokes aside, we've immediately started development for a post-jam update containing the "real game" and are working to get the original vision out as soon as possible, hopefully you check it out whenever it's ready and thank you for playing our dumb little game!!
