This game was good fun! Obviously blackjack will always be blackjack, but it's a solid implementation of blackjack with some fun theming. (I will admit, though, that I thought the game would involve me getting married to the casino itself.) Some thoughts:
- Love the title screen, it's cozy and the music is real nice, but having the title of the game somewhere would probably be a nice addition. The buttons shaking is also a nice touch.
- A couple of typos here and there, particularly in the opening cutscene.
- I love the backgrounds for the casino games! They're well-made, and so are the cards. The art direction in general is really solid.
- The games on display are simple but well-coded, I didn't notice any obvious flaws - except, I'm not sure I get how the odds for Pair or Bust work? I rolled a lot more pairs than I expected to, at least. Maybe I just got super unlucky. I'm also not quite sure what the "extra luck" means. I do like the concept of Pair or Bust, though!
- The E to interact tooltip was nice, but that being said, Pair or Bust not being obviously closed right off the bat was a bit annoying - being pointed toward blackjack first helped, but I'd make it a bit more obvious you don't have other options. It would also be nice to be told that Pair or Bust has opened. (Also, as another commenter pointed out, the signs above the games are a bit hard to read - perhaps another font would work better? I love the flickering, though.)
- Being able to walk over the other people in the casino was really jarring. Even if they can't be interacted with, at least making them walls would be nice. They do also look just a bit out of place, like they're just a BIT too big or blurry, though the jittering is a nice touch.
- Being spawned in the same spot every time, rather than in front of the game you're leaving, feels awkward.
- The upgrades seem really neat, but I haven't gotten nearly enough money to try any of them yet!
- I'd also recommend making it more immediately obvious which character is yours at the start of the game - moving around makes it obvious, of course, but it'd still be a nice bit of polish.
- The sounds that are here are really good and well-integrated, but it would be nice to have a few more, like a card-dealing sound and step sounds, or perhaps short, low-key win/loss jingles.
Overall, I think the game is a nice foundation, and I like the idea of a collection of betting games you can get better at by buying more luck (though I am worried it might be possible to snowball a bit out of control). I like how the game has been put together, and I think you've got a really strong start - it just needs a bit more polish and more games/upgrades, and perhaps making a few things more clear. Great work, I had fun!
