Had a lot of fun playing this game! That may have been because I have a soft spot for gambling but I think the thing that suckered me in the most was seeing the upgrades and seeing how high they could go. This was my high score in the end!

Thank you for playing ! I originally planned to at least have enough items so that the whole board would have level 3 items. But I ran out of image art to use and only have half the game built on the end of Day 1. Opted to finish the rest of the game first so I can be sure that I would have a game to submit. Never had the chance to come up with more images since I never expected that there would be so so much bugs and errors to fix near the end of Day 2 :P
Again, glad to hear you enjoyed it !
Thank you for the feedback! Really tried to make it as simple as possible, but added enough things to do ,to avoid be too boring.
(I really liked the simplicity of your game also, simple rules, but lots of depth, will be very happy to play your game again if you plan to further expand it).
Again, thank you for the kind words : )
Thank you for playing ! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed it.
Yeah, most of the variation got lost due to not having time, but glad to hear that it still retained some strategy.
I learned so much during those 48 hours and will definitely do this again next year !
Again, thank you for the kind words :)

Glad to hear that you liked it ! Yeah, was aiming for a balance between trying to fill up the slots, while also trying to avoid the bloat of small items (by trying to combine them). If I had a bit more time, would've balanced it a bit better and added more variety. But got to work with what time was given :P
Thank you again for the kind words !
Thank you for playing ! I believe bobertsson (dev of "Dice Control") have mentioned earlier in the comments on reaching level 75. My personal best while play-testing was 71 I believe. Definitely makes me happy to hear that there are players like you who are willing to play long enough to reach these high levels.
Thank you again and glad that you liked it !

Hi Broson ! Really liked your music in "Golf Cart Golf", it made the game so relaxing, even if the "Dice Golf Ball" is frustrating to control :P
(will check out CathoBot in a few moment).
Also thank you for the feedback, the music was really just a last minute feature I added. In the future, if I do try to make this a fully fleshed out game, will definitely make sure not to neglect the sound design and music. Will also remember you and might even try to ask for your expert advice (and if I can maybe a commission?).
Thank you for the kind words, it's always nice to see your work appreciated :D

Thank you! will definitely keep this in mind, unfortunately I do not have discord at the moment. I mainly created this Itch.io account just for the GMTK game jam. I currently am just trying to focus on learning game dev as much as I can at the moment. And trying to keep my self grounded and doing my best to improve everyday.
If I do go ahead and tried to make this a fully functioning game, will be sure to remember to ask for your help, as I am as far from a composer or sound designer as one can be. Thank you again :)

Thank you for the encouragement and kind words ! Yup, it's always fun in thinking of ideas and letting your imagination run wild. But it's always important to be grounded and remember the 50 hours limit. Have definitely learned a lot from this jam, and will definitely use them on my future projects.
Good luck also and thank you again for the kind words.

Hi Wei, thank you for playing and enjoying the game. I can confirm that I definitely doubled the number of "tooth" items in the code. It was just a single index number so it was very easy to miss :P
As of now the items are limited to 33 items, therefore if you survive that far and got them all, there will no longer be any item choices and the only move would be to spin indefinitely trying to see on how long you will survive.
I will try to continue developing this small game, (and if I do) will be sure to add a lot more in terms of end game.
Thank you again for the kind words, they mean a lot to me !
Thank you for playing ! Yes, it was a very weird bug that did not appear during my (somewhat limited) play testing. Have only encountered it once after the submission deadline and I believe you were the first one to mention it also.
I am also not sure how it happened but I am guessing that I have doubled the addition of the 'claw (tooth)' in the item pool, which in turn caused the game to not detect the correct amount of items in the board.
Although I am happy that this seems to be the only bug report (so far :P), thank you again for the kind words !
