A very impressive concept! It makes perfect sense that a gambling addict would only be able to say the words their mental roulette lands on.

The roulette animation and sound effects feel very realistic. The UI is clean and professional, and the story is quite educational. The voice acting is also excellent!

I wasn’t entirely sure whether choosing among the three characters affects the odds of the wheel, or how the betting rules actually work. So in my first three runs, Jessica ended up leaving. On my fourth playthrough, I bet all my money on “Guarantee” + “I’m sorry,” and Jessica stayed. I’m not even sure how I won, but I felt proud and happy, like a real gambler! :D

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience~

I originally planned for the rotary phone to be an interactive gameplay mechanic, but unfortunately I ran out of time and couldn't finish implementing it. ( •̥́ ˍ•̀

Thanks for your comment! :D

A well-made platformer! I never expected a walking flower pot to attack me.

Unfortunately, I'm just not very good at platformers. Even after many attempts, I couldn't get past the first big gap. Because of that, I didn't think it would be fair to leave a rating. ( •̥́ ˍ•̀)

Even so, I really enjoyed all the little animations, especially the part where the cat uses its tail like a propeller to float down :D 

If you're in the mood for a 15-minute visual novel that's just text from start to finish and doesn't require much thinking, feel free to give it a try! :D (It's also playable on mobile.)

The visuals are lovely, and the puzzles are fun to play!

In the 9×9 Grid puzzle, I thought I'd made the "S" correctly and spent quite a while looking for what door had opened. Eventually, I realized I'd placed the piece at the far right of the second row incorrectly. ^q^ Maybe it would help to have a text prompt or some other kind of indication when a puzzle is completed?

After the snail race, I activated a flag, but I couldn't get the first door in the other room to open. Maybe I wasn't stirring the soup correctly... I held down the mouse button and moved the cursor in circles over the soup, but nothing happened.

Overall, I really enjoyed this cute game!

Great game! Really gets my brain working :D

I made it to Level 7. It reminded me of childhood retro games. Very solid gameplay and level design!

Just a small suggestion: I wish there was a level select so I wouldn’t have to restart from the first level after closing the game.

I really love the art style and music!

Unfortunately, even after more than twenty attempts, I still couldn't get past the first level or really figure out how to control the direction. (I could be wrong, but I'm guessing the goal is to eventually stop on the spinning target?) Because of that, I didn't think it would be fair to leave a rating.

Still, I really enjoyed the spinning-top vehicle's animations, bouncing off the walls, and the cat's subtle facial expressions. Nice work! :D

This game is so much fun!

I absolutely love the minimalist art style. Even though the visuals are made up of simple shapes, the color palette, UI design, and animations all come together perfectly.

The controls feel really smooth. I played on a laptop, so it was hard to click the mouse and press the Space bar at the same time, but playing without using the mouse still felt great.

Getting used to the controls and gradually unlocking upgrades is incredibly addictive. I ended up playing for a long time. Even so, I still haven’t managed to survive all 25 waves. 😢

I do wish there were a pause button (although switching windows works as a workaround). Also, if the game had a save system instead of restarting from the beginning after dying, it would be much kinder to my heart. ^q^

I’ll keep trying to reach wave 25!

The visuals are stunning, and the gameplay is quite unique!

When holding the right mouse button on a card to view its text, the cursor ends up blocking part of the text, which is a bit inconvenient. Maybe the cursor could become semi-transparent while the right mouse button is held?

I’m really glad that I can move on to the next chapter even when I fail a mission. The plants in each chapter are beautiful, and watching their spinning animations is very soothing and enjoyable :D

Wait, I realized it was Enter! Can’t believe I missed that 😅

Could you tell me where I should click at this point? I’ve clicked everywhere but couldn’t get to the next page ( •̥́ ˍ •̀)

This game is so polished! The UI and music are very professional, and the art style is super cute. I love all the little animals and tiny objects in it ₍ ᐢ.   ̫ .⑅ᐢ ₎ ♥

I wasn't expecting to find such a polished rhythm game in this jam! The UI, music, and art are all fantastic!

Playing on a laptop without a mouse, I found it a bit challenging at first. Then I realized that whether it was the blue line or the orange line, I could just press W and E at the same time. :D Yay!

Really cool shoot ’em up game! The upgrade and weapon purchasing system feels very smooth and satisfying. I’m glad that even a clumsy player like me could complete all the missions and beat the boss. 😎 Choosing mercenary work over a desk job was the right decision, Raider!

The UI is very polished, and the minimalist graphics and color palette are beautiful! (Though for my laptop, some of the text is a bit too small. Maybe a slightly larger font size would be better?)

p.s. After I unlocked all weapons and re-entered the boss mission, I think I triggered an Easter egg (or maybe a bug?). I ended up in a mode where I could never be attacked and couldn’t exit  (⊙ˍ⊙)(as shown in the attached video)

Now I get how it fits the theme: when the screen starts spinning, Bob wins. And I die. Bob spins the screen to win. (Just kidding.)

I tried my best, but I couldn’t get past the third level. I don’t know if there’s a fourth level beyond that. As far as the part I played goes, this is a really well-made game! Great job! :D

What? I can actually equip my girlfriend?!

Such a fun game! I loved showing off my lil spin to everyone and snatching the last box of Trixy right in front of a little girl. What a productive day! :D

The unexpected branches and outcomes were a pleasant surprise. I'm sure there are still plenty of paths I haven't discovered yet. I ended up getting Ending 234, but I still haven't unlocked Ending 1. I'll definitely come back and give it another try sometime!

Faith up! ⏫

My game supports mobile :D If you're interested in visual novels, feel free to give it a try!

This game's mechanics felt surprisingly real. I loved the bouncy little white stick figure, and the satisfying feeling of spinning around in the office chair. I also enjoyed playing Flappy Bird while I was supposed to be working!😙

My only wish is that the game had an autosave feature. Otherwise, when I get caught doing the same thing in real life and have to start all over again, it all feels just a little too realistic. 😢

Such a creative gameplay concept! The sound effects were perfect too—I burst out laughing the first time I heard the sound of the character hitting a wall 🤣

The later levels got more and more challenging. After being stopped by the police officer's whistle for the nth time, I became completely discouraged, closed the game, and decided to go for a walk on the grass outside. But while I was looking at all the real people out there, I couldn't stop myself from wanting to press the spacebar and make them spin.

I think I'll come back and give it another try sometime. 👍😢

Such a fun game! I love running around the room naked, using the rotary phone, and receiving packages :D 📦

It’s a little tricky to play on a laptop, but I think I’m gradually getting the hang of it.

P.S. After reading the comments, I looked up the story behind Nasubi, oh my gosh...(⊙ˍ⊙)

Thank you very much for the explanation and for passing the ticket to the admins. I truly appreciate your help. Have a great day!

Hi itch.io team,

I’m writing to request a re-indexing for my game, Xmas KPI.

The game was published 2 days ago and was appearing in search results correctly. However, after I uploaded a new build to add an achievement system and update some assets today, it completely disappeared from the search and browse pages.

I have read the "Getting Indexed" guide and verified my settings:

• The project is set to Public.
• It has a cover image and is fully playable in the browser.
• I have not used any misleading tags or made major changes to the metadata.

I suspect the automated filter may have flagged my account because I made a few quick updates in a short period to improve the game content. Since this is a seasonal game for Christmas, losing visibility during its launch window is very critical for the project.

Could a moderator please take a look and restore the indexing for this project?

Thank you for your time and help!

Sounds like a good idea! This feature has now been added!

Thank you for playing the game! You can hold down the Enter, or Space, or Z key on the keyboard to fast-forward the dialogue.

Congratulations!

Thank you for playing my game! The music and SFX were not created by me (I only selected them and implemented them into the game). I will try to find a way to replace the music with something softer. Thank you for your feedback!

That's a good idea, thanks for the advice!

Thank you! It's fixed! (If you see it again, please let me know.)

!! I had no idea that SFX is a meme, thanks so much for letting me know!

Thanks so much for checking that again, even over dinner! It doesn't seem to be related to the HP. Many thanks for the info!

Thank you! I tested the bonfire on my iPhone (no Mac here) and didn't get an error. Could you let me know what the error message was, ideally with a screenshot? Also, were you playing on a PC, phone, or tablet? I'd like to try and fix it!😭
