wow thanks for playing, this was some of the best feedback I think I’ve gotten the whole jam. So thank you for going through with such detailed feedback. I did have some influence by luck be a landlord and other slots games, I’ve seen games using cards but I thought slots would be more doable for the jam.
originally you were going to hit checkpoints that allowed you to start at a deeper depth, deeper depths have harder rocks to break but more rewards. I was even going to have specific types of gems needed for upgrades but then I ran out of time so the upgrades are kinda bare min. but I think with the feedback you and others have given me, I now have some ideas to play around with to improve the game and like you said give some more options ( a bigger slot grid sounds like it could be run )
I actually had some ideas about different frogs that work a little differently that you could unlock. I basically made the game I would like to play at it’s very very basic version.
but seriously thanks for this feedback it gave me a lot to chew on
