Hi! Thank you for such an in-depth comment. It was nice to see your thought process as you played.
We were a bit ambitious with our idea, and when reaching the finish line we hadn't quite finished the element system. A few of them work but we had planned on making them more clear! As an example, ice applies a stacking slow, earth snares, fire applies a damage-over-time, etc.
Making it so you could stand on the poker chips / roulette table was completely my fault hehe.
And to answer your side question: We're a team of two people! @pkmollman is primarily our programmer and I'm primarily the artist. This is our third jam and in my opinion we're improving with every entry!
Thanks again for your kind comments :)
