Hey, just finished the game and it's great! Thanks for making it!
I have a few suggestions if you're looking for any, though the game is already quite well done.
1. An explanation of what "smart replay" actually is trying to do would be nice.
2. Being able to configure what autoplay does would be nice as well, I've seen it hit on 18 which doesn't make a ton of sense to me.
3. Light up the store button when an upgrade is affordable?
4. Write the hit/stand rules for the dealer on the table felt?
5. Maybe change the table felt when you raise the max bet, like you're at a higher stakes table?
6. Loans immediately become useless after you get the first upgrade that gives you money per tick.
7. Money becomes pretty useless later on in the game when upgrades only cost xp.
8. An upgrade to uncap the max bet, or to remove the 10% bet thing for xp earning. When you are trying to finish out the upgrade tree and you can't bet 10% of your max because of the max bet cutoff it makes things very slow.
9. Have the whole upgrade tree be visible, but with greyed out boxes, so you know what there is to unlock or if an upgrade is a dead end.
10. I'd love to see you make this longer, with more upgrades and such, maybe a prestige system
Overall it's a great game and very enjoyable, thanks!
Hi, thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback :)
1. "Smart replay" keeps the same ratio of your last_bet/last_bankroll_amount (So if you had bet 1/4 of your bankroll, it will bet 1/4 of your new bankroll). I will add it to the "How to play" screen
2. Autoplay follows the best "basic strategy" (so the best strategy without counting cards). It actually can hit on soft 18 (A+ 7 value) versus a 9/10/A :) (see here:basic strategy explained)
3. Great idea, I will implement that!
4. I 'll see if I can fit the writing.
5. Nice suggestion, I might do that.
6. I think they still can be useful if you max bet and lose it all. But the more you progress, the less you will need loan yes.
7. For now, there is only 1 upgrade that uses money, I might add more in the future.
8. I will add a way to upgrade max bet more after all the others "max bet" skills are unlocked
9. Mmmmh I see your point, I might change that yes.
10. Thanks, I might work on this game a bit more, even though my code is becoming a little messy lol.
Thanks again and glad you enjoyed!
Agree with these; I just got the money ticker and then the bet amounts (well, money in general) and rapidly even the games outcome didn’t matter much; I was just getting xp to unlock stuff, and then I’d pretty much just need to go all-in a few times with basic strategy to get to 10B.
Also fun fact: you can win with a 4 x) the dealer should be made a bit smarter and stop asking for card when he’s already winning..
Still enjoyed playing it :)
