thank you for playing the game!

you’re not stupid! you’re just one readme away. lol

i can understand that the learning curve may be high, but we tried our best to not make is too difficult. earlier we had the player type out commands to get things done which was very unintuitive for an average gamer.

regardless, thank you for playing the game!

did you read the readme.md? it has hints on how to play the game 😉

the screenshot you attached is unfortunately the scaling issue. we were applying scaling to the elements differently earlier but then we switched our settings to scale the viewport instead, which meant on all display sizes the contents on the screen would look consistent. but in the build i last uploaded, i forgot to remove the code that calculates scaling for other display sizes which was no longer needed; we tested it on a display with 100% (1.0) scaling which made no difference to scaling, which is why it went unnoticed at the time.

following is the intended look across all display sizes;

however, the bugs have been fixed, its just sad to see that we can’t update it for a while since file uploads are locked.

Also when we enter the number and press enter to like lock it in? Id love to see the game point it out specifically that its locked in

there is a gentle audio cue as of now, we do have code for visual indicators on the cursor selection however, i think we cut focus on it since we needed to get the main gameplay done first.

about more gameplay mechanics…yeeeeahhhhh there was a lot more we planned but had to cut on or we’d not finish the game in time, hah. there was a dialogue system; the slot.listener was initially a dialer and you’d listen your friend’s dialogues on a call while he gambled, etc. we had minigames with that, and a short sequence before the actual gameplay where you’d login to the machine and it’d be a different server every time, and the player would have to figure out how to login to it, etc.

overall i think, as you suggest, this concept has more potential to it. maybe after the file uploads are unlocked we’ll see to implement these things as we have some code already written for it.

and yes, the crt shader is really fun. i had code for it where like an actual crt display the scan lines would slowly move with time, and other edge sharpening code and more stuff.

anyways, thank you for the review and thank you for playing our game!

your game is absolutely adorable! its really cute. beautiful visuals and beautiful audio. the clicking part for some reason was very fun.

i literally just spent like 45+ minutes just milking the cow and smiling at the cookie haha. i’ll do the same thing tomorrow

i think this is one of the more unique/helpful responses we’ve gotten about the game, and i think it does add value to our game design for the next project, really. i do agree with you on the game somewhat feeling like an exam to solve but it was merely the vibe we were wanting to go for.

the initial iterations involved a lot more complex puzzles which required you to code up solutions from given schematics (diagrams with written explanations, etc.) but we figured players would just rage quit 😆

regardless, thank you for the critique, and for trying out our game!

i quite like the visual aesthetic of your game! kinda made me feel cute after playing it for a while which was unexpected. however, the sound effects were a bit on the louder side.

but overall i think the game was pretty good. good job!

thank you for the words hah! i wouldn’t mind hacking into a slot machine for a thousand dollars irl though

yep, we are aware of the bugs with inputs. we had other bugs with the display scaling, etc, but unfortunately now that the updates are blocked we cannot upload fixed builds.

however, you still enjoyed is what matters. thank you for checking out the game!

the feature you mention was on the agenda 😄, we had to put it aside or we wouldn’t finish the main game in time unfortunately

thank you thank you 🙂‍↕️

thank you 🙂‍↕️

you are pretty much supposed to help your friend win more money, perhaps by not making him lose money, or by reducing chances of them losing money, OR by being obvious and hitting jackpots every time. you can refer to the reel sheet on the right and match the indices given in the incoming payload matrix.

regardless, thank you for trying our game out and reviewing it!

it really does feel great to be unethical…but not the smartest thing to do in real life lol

thank you! have a great day ahead

oh hey! thank you haha.

i think i recognize you from ZeldaTechie’s stream, i may be wrong 🤔

Oh I’ll play your game later today! I wrote a few games down I’ll play those 😄

Hello there! I will for sure rate your game by the morning, and give good feedback too.

Anyways! Here is our game. We wrote a keyboard only game. Let us know what you think about it 😄

However this game is both downloadable and playable on the web sooo… maybe not fit for this post!

Thank you!

See if you like it now! We fixed a few bugs and updated the readme.

I mean a thousand dollars ain’t little money 😅

However, see if you like the game now. We have updated the readme (tutorial)

i get you on “not understanding what to do”. we had the readme (tutorial as called initially) on the last priority. we had to code the entire game in < 3 days so had to cut time somewhere 😅

we may update the readme however, polish a few things here and there, and make the whole thing feel like it was built together.

thank you for trying it out!

i like the overall visual aesthetic of your game, and the music is also pretty calm to listen to. however! you have a scaling issue on displays with high pixel density. not a massive issue though, i appreciate your game 👏🏻. i have attached a few screenshots showing what i mean.

anyways, here is my submission cheat.slot

this is pretty neat!
