Thank you for the detailed feedback! I’m glad Juniper as a gambling mafia boss got a laugh out of you.
About betting multiple chips, that limitation is intentional. The chips are not exactly bets to win more chips, they are more like a combat resource used to damage the enemies. I wanted to avoid reinforcing the idea of “bet more to win more”, since the game is also a critique of gambling.
That said, I agree that the gambling part can feel too draggy and frustrating. The game was meant to feel unfair because of the theme, but I may need to improve the pacing, balance, tutorial and feedback so it stays fun too.
I also agree about the special abilities feeling unintuitive without clearer explanation. Thanks for playing and for the honest feedback!
