Cool game!

 Could you please rate my game ( https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-11/rate/2536045 )? 

My game has very few ratings :(

Nice twist on the Monty Hall problem, and very on theme. Good work. I liked the old school Windows theme too. I could totally see this being a game on a Windows 95 machine 😂

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the graphics!

Submitted

Nice touch on the Monty Hall's problem! That was a pretty cool game, the bets really added to the gamepllay and made it interesting. GReat job =)!

Developer

Thx! Glad you liked it!

Submitted

The game was really fun! It's a clever idea, but the audio gets little bit repetitive

Developer

Thx for playing! Sorry about the audio btw, I made it at 2 AM the day of the dedline lol

Submitted

Loved it! I really liked how you turned Monty's hall problem/paradox into a game! It's simple but I really enjoyed it. Aaaand, it also works to teach people this concept! Double points for that. I love the old windows art style, it looks super good, and I feel like I'm back in 2004 playing pinball in my family laptop. The audio matches the vibe really well too.

I just have one question, is the game coded so that if you swap your choice, you always get the golden calf? Cause it always happened, even when the odds where against me with many doors! If this is the case it's gonna be a little easy for people who know this problem like me. I guess in that case the game would be much more suited for people who don't know how this works, and therefore will be tempted to keep their initial choice and not swap it.

Still, even if that's the case, it's an enjoyable game :D

Thx for playing! Glad you liked the art-style! You shouldn't end up with the golden calf 100% of the time, as the doors are all randomly generated upon starting the game. You must've just been SUPER lucky lol.

Shout out to Monty Hall Game themed play!

Ingenious idea coming up with a stake that the player can set.  it gave the edge of what mostly lost in a brainteaser

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Really like the graphics :D

I expected yet another simple monty hall based game, but I am happy to see you have added additional mechanics to spice things up.

The game is well executed, well done :]

Developer

Thx! I'm glad you liked the graphics!

Adding betting is a great twist on the Monty Hall idea that's makes it much more engaging. The presentation is also great. My one suggestion would be to add a way to enter bets more easily as going for any number that isn't close to 0 or the max is a bit annoying, either an onscreen keypad or a way to change the value of the increments (even just +/-10 in addition to +/-1) would go a long way.

Thx for the feedback! I could definitely see how that could be a problem, especially once you get to bigger numbers. I'm glad you played my game!

Submitted

Love the name. Gameplay is simple but it does what it needs to.

Developer

Thx! Glad you liked it!

I was looking for a Monty Hall submission for this jam. I guess it's kinda cheating I know the strategy, but it was still engaging, nonetheless. Some SFX for clicking on the doors would have been nice; the music did make up for the lack of SFX a bit, though.

PS I like the whole Windows XP solitaire look you've got going, it looks retro.

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you recognized the Monty Hall inspiration! I was planning on adding SFX, but I ran out of time lol. Thanks for playing!

From 100 to 200 and down to 0 xD story of my life ;)

Well done!

Developer

Thank you!

Simple gambling game. Love the aesthetic and matches pretty well with the theme. 

I wish there was more to it than just randomness but that's coming from someone who got bankrupt after a string line of unlucky choices (lol). At least I am in control of how much I am betting.

Other than that, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I wish I could've added more strategic elements, but couldn't due to time constraints. Glad you liked the aesthetic!

Submitted

I love this take! And great execution!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

Its a door based gambling simulator, simple as that. Nice art as well!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked my art!

Submitted

Just a little gambling game. Only complaint is no audio mute or slider :D Very loud

Developer

Sorry about that lol! I made the audio at 4 AM last night, so I guess my sleep-deprived brain didn't notice it. Thx for playing!

Submitted

This is a fun little gambling game! The sound was a little too loud when I first opened the game but other than that I had fun!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Glad you had fun!
