As many have mentioned - concept is actually interesting, but I think the game lacks a clearly defined goal with some kind of explanation what to do))
Well done anyway))

I struggled to figure out how to play the game, but I did really enjoy the idea you went for! c:

I worked out that the numbers were changing the odds of the return, basically like playing slot machines in real life, where there’s a chance of coming out on top, but you're more likely to lose. I never made enough to use the 1000+ buttons.

The numbers, Mason, what do they mean? I gave it a try but I couldn't figure-out what the buttons do. I like the aesthetic though!

Thanks for playing! You have to press the waffle cone button to place a bet, I should have been more clear on that lol.
