How does your game represent "Slick"?
What if the water droplets on the car window were actually racing each other? It was cool and slick when the water droplet on the car would suddenly move fast and 'beat out' the other water droplets. Slick like water, slick like zoom.

Great looking game! I loved the concept, it's very fun and original. I am awful at gambling, so naturally I went broke after a while. I think the dad kept trying to get me to buy Skyrim.

You only lose if you stop trying to win, they always say this at the poker table.

A game where Todd Howard is my dad ? Hell yeah

Developer

A dream? or a nightmare? maybe a little of both?

Great art style, very unique idea. Had a good time!

Developer

Thank you!!

What a cute idea! I was very bad at choosing drops at first, but eventually got the hang of it and was able to rub it in little brother's smug face. I like the background art a lot, and the way each layer moves at its own speed to mimic what it looks like to be in a moving vehicle. Nice work, everyone!

Developer(+1)

Thank youuu I spent a lot of time on the background and learning parallax for this specifically. Appreciate it.

I can only wish my dad had been in the chess club :/ It’s pretty fun nonetheless!

My fantasy of road tripping with the rizzler and daddy howard came to fruitition. And what best to spend the time than to bully my brother out of candies, while stoking my gambling addiction. This checks all the boxes and is super well done. Would play 100 more of these fever dream ideas of games. Thank you :D

Developer

ahhh thank ya. I loved your game too haha.

Really fun game, gambling is always a blast.  Visuals and music are amazing and on point.

Generated hundreds of candies for my family by betting on purple, stole by devil-brother's soul, and then got called a loser by my entire family for failing to predict which droplet would win.
You're right. It's just like my childhood!

Developer

this is the most relatable game ever

Submitted(+1)

Lol this was delightful. Who doesn't want Todd as their dad and da rizz gawd as their lil bro.

Developer

yeessssss, you get it

Submitted(+2)

I like the original idea on the theme, we had an idea to play as a bead of sweat making itself slowly down someones face, but this is a much less gross idea hah

Would love to see some kind of player input to choosing which droplet, it was sad to lose 3 in a row

Developer

yeah I feel the pain of losing a lot. It's possible to win but definitely hard and pretty luck based

Developer(+1)

We wanted to add a 'cheer' button that would add pure visual juice and not affect the race in any way

this is so beautiful, i love the idea, takes me back to the car rides with the family

Developer

yesss thanks friend

Submitted(+2)

dialogue and brother art were pretty funny lol. good game all-round, may have been better if I didn't go all in every round...

Developer

I have the same issue haha. I haven't beaten it but my brother and friends have haha

Submitted(+2)

Such a charming aesthetic! The visuals are clean and the betting loop is weirdly addictive. Great job!

Developer

thanks a bunch!! We really tried to improve on every level this time around.

Submitted(+2)

Really fun dialogue and aesthetic. The betting mechanic felt low stakes and light hearted in the perfect way. Everything came together really nicely on this one.

Developer

ahhh thank you friend

Love this game! Betting on racing raindrops is a great idea. The writing is hilarious as well XD

Developer(+1)

thanks!! our writer was killing me with the dialogue lol

Submitted(+2)

Nice game! There is a lot of attention to detail in the visuals. The betting mechanic works well, especially when there is a clear optimal droplet to choose. Well done!

Developer

Thank you I appreciate the kind words. I spent a lot of time in aseprite these last few days.

Submitted(+2)

Really cute idea. I wish the droplets meandered a little as they slid down the window, that was always my favorite part of watching them as a kid!

Developer

thanks !! Yes we were talking about slick ideas and that nostalgia really was a source of inspiration

Developer (1 edit)

Agreed. This is how it would look ideally given enough time to really nail it.

Developer(+1)
