Game's Take on the Theme
Gun cylinders spin to randomly activate different effects that change the weapon's behaviour, new cylinders with new effect pools can be purchased and equipped in the lobby, bosses drop new cylinders when defeated. Art, level design and music/sfx direction are all casino-themed, referencing roulette/slot machines.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
All 2D art, SFX and music made during the jam. Some simple 3D objects listed in in-game credits

Incredible vibes and aesthetic, I particularly loved the design of the bosses. I really enjoyed mixing the different chips which is saying a lot, because in a jam environment is really difficult to make this kind of character progress obvious for the player and still fun.
I went with Archetype Barrel, Dynamic Advantatge and Bartender's Cellar Barrel, and when I rolled Shotgun with explosive shells and Speed up, I decimated the bosses' lifebar.
If I have any criticism is that attacks overall lack anticipation, with the changes in animation of the bosses getting difficult to see from afar.
Great entry people! Congrats!
good job fun game i liked the art style much but why the gun looks like that lol
The casino vibes are great in this and the idea is a fun take on the theme, my game ended up crash closing after fighting Malina and i lost all of my progress :< but I still has a lot of fun playing
Thanks for playing our game! We crunch it till the last minute, and only one of the programmer (me) can't work on the final day so there still some bug hidden somewhere. We will fix it in another post-jam patch.
Incredibly cool game, you guys probably are aware of this already but the pit boss has some major performance issues. Besides that, you guys should be proud of what you made its stupidly polished!
Thanks for the compliments! We are aware of the performance issues and planning on addressing it in a future build.
I loved everything about this game! The atmosphere, the chosen location, the way you access the boss rooms, and all the details that make it just a fantastic game for a Jam! What I also immediately felt was the impression that a Manager had recruited their employees (the bosses), like in real life: with different strengths for "the House," and personalities that fit both their name and the space where you interact with them!
This is a great take on spin and boss rush! I really enjoy the random gun mechanic and was able to defeat everything but the final boss... That guy was furious and I could NOT kill him. But it was still fun. As they say, "The house always wins!" With some polish and adding to the game's story, I think this could be a great indie game for a market. It is a great shooter. The music and sfx were perfect for the theme and nothing felt out of place! Great game :D
Thanks for playing it. Do you feel like the bosses is too fast / aggressive / unfair? As we designed the boss, we can defeat him consistently so we may have overtuned him. Therefore, feel free to suggest your balance change!
I don't know if I am the person to ask due to how garbage I am at most video games lol. I just couldnt figure out how to kill the final boss because I couldn't dodge his attacks when the forcefield came up. But I could defeat all of the other ones and loved the whole game! Its just really neat :D
Nice game! There were a few issues I noticed, such as being able to blast bosses from the elevator as well as being locked out of their weapons if you died before grabbing them, but overall a 4/5.
My favorite genre with a cardboard design inspired by old-school cartoons and casino :)
Such a great combo! At first I died 3 times, but later avenged to all of them. Thank you guys, that was really fun and cool. I'd love to play more, a campaign with a story, and regular enemies.
Loving the jazz/swing with some metal guitar riffs, fits surprisingly well. Would be nice to have some voice over for bosses. Also, I really liked some of your "hand-made" SFX :) but they were quiet. Gun sounds could have more attention too.
In the info status in says Prototype, and it's a good one, so please keep up the good work.
Hey Phil! Thanks for the feedback on the music, it was a lot of fun to make, and I'm glad the genre-bending sounded good to you :) was a bit out-there but thought I'd give it a crack.
Thanks for the feedback on weapon sounds too - I'll speak up for our SFX guys Josh and Kieran here though! The gun sounds in particular are actually super beefy in isolation, but are battling hard for space at the moment against the tunes. The music's currently very greedy in terms of how much of the frequency spectrum it takes up, particularly in the bass range where a lot of the wicked punch of the weapon sounds is. Interesting new challenge for the whole audio gang to experiment with ways to do everyone's work justice - we'll see how we go in a postjam patch. Looking at maybe using FMOD to help with some ducking or something.
Thanks again for the feedback - looking forward to checking yours out, looks hella slick from those GIFs!
Hey James, thanks for the insight! Yeah, FMOD should definitely help with balancing everything out. Would be honored to assist your audio team if you decide to further develop the game and need any help. Sounds like an exciting challenge!
Incredible, very cool design. The bosses and the art style are all very impressive, congratulations to the team completing a game at such caliber.
Amazing and underrated game! Controls felt very fluid, visuals are charming, and the gun effect customization was impressive (although I didn't notice I had to equip the effects until the third boss), and each of the bosses were very unique. Almost beat the game but it unfortunately crashed after I lost to the final boss.
