You see, the game is impossible to win as a tactical, and purposeful decision which serves as a commentary on the pitfalls of gambling in the real world. /j

jokes aside, clearer instructions and actual feedback slipped my mind during the jam. the payout conditions are a lot more lenient than a five line match, with wins starting at 3 symbol matches anywhere on the grid.

music was also something that i regret not being able to put in, but the "real game" will have probably the greatest soundtrack that you'll ever hear in the history of literally anything so

but thank you for playing our stupid little game!! we're hoping to release the "real" post-jam version soon so hopefully you check it out whenever it's done cooking!!

thanks for giving us your hard earned real life physical dollar bills!!!! 

the balance is definitely one thing that i'm kicking myself for neglecting to check lool. i also really should've put it in the game or the description somewhere but the payout condition starts at 3 matches anywhere on the board, which isn't clear at all in hindsight. 

little company secret: while payout starts at 3 matches. the multiplier gets higher with each match. and as we all know, 99% of gamblers quit before they hit it big, and you only lose when you quit! so get back in there champ!!

(disclaimer: real gambling isn't a good idea so give us your fake money instead)

jokes aside, we've immediately started development for a post-jam update containing the "real game" and are working to get the original vision out as soon as possible, hopefully you check it out  whenever it's ready and thank you for playing our dumb little game!!

oops, that's honestly something i didn't think about while making this lol. thank you for letting me know! i'll definitely fix that when we update the game post-game jam. thank you for playing!!!

the original plan was to include combat but we ran out of time unfortunately. thank you for playing!!

thank you so much!! the music and art were our favorite parts to work on so we're glad it paid off. and we've already started preparing for our next game jam too lol. thanks for playing!!!

i also spent too much time playing the game during development lmao. thank you for playing!!

yuppp! it's both our first game jam and first game together. we're just super proud of ourselves for having submitted a game in general lol.

thank you so much for playing!!!

yeaa i definitely regret not making enough time for pickups, i feel like that would've made the game itself feel so much better to play lmao. but that's a good suggestion for restarting, i can't believe i didn't think about that during development lmao. 

but thank you so much for playing our game and leaving feedback!!

glad you liked it! thank you so much for playing!!

the dog does see all...

thank you for playing!!

thank you so much!! we were mostly proud that we were able to submit something in the first place, but this really means a lot to the both of us!

thank you! the explosion was the artist's idea, it definitely added a lot more to the game than i thought it would lol

thank you so much!!

i definitely do regret not being able to add pick-ups. near the end of the game jam i realized that the score was going up a bit too slow for our liking, but at that point it was a little too late to add anything (mostly due to poor planning on my part)

after connor reviews the games, i'm considering just going back and updating this one just for fun. thank you for playing!!!

oops, i knew i forgot something important lmao

but thank you for playing!!!

yeah i got kinda dizzy while developing the game lmao. it definitely gives you the guitar hero effect after a few minutes. thank you for your comment!!

fun take on vampire survivors! would've loved a little more visual feedback for the attacks, but other than that, really nice job!

paper jam but monke. 

overall great job!! didn't really get it at first but it was surprisingly fun once i did! i could see myself playing a game with the same kind of concept as this. great job!

very very fun! 480 btw

game crashes after the vending machine encounter, but i like what you got going here! i'd love to see some more feedback when you attack or are attacked. nice job!!!

very simple, but still a fun little game! bike boy's design and animations are cute. great job!

really cute game! the controls felt a little heavy at first, but it wasn't hard to get used to. the acceleration is a bit slow, but overall doesn't feel bad to play. only minor nitpick is that i'd love to see a little "you win!" screen when you reach 0 points left. great job!

i like what you have going on here! i'm not sure what most of the items did bc the text gets cut off on an ultrawide monitor. but other than that, it's a fun gameplay loop and a fun take on the theme. nice job!!!

really neat concept! i really liked the addition of the chat phone lol. overall really fun to play! 5/5 on originality for sure.

took a second to get it, but i really liked it when i did! very cute game, love the art and music too!

love the aesthetic of this game!! the idea is well executed and it's genuinely really fun to play. i'd love to see this concept taken further, the whole multitasking thing is stressful but kinda satisfying. the crt filter is also a really nice touch. great job!!

very minor nitpick: the pop-ups at the beginning made the instructions a little hard to read. i wouldn't remove them, but maybe moving them to the side might make it a little easier to read. other than that, this is really good!

i really like this concept, we need more hamster-likes in the industry. the art and music are super cute. lets go jimmy!!!

love the aesthetic of this game!! the idea is well executed and it's genuinely really fun to play. great job!
