Upon opening the game I proceed to go to work. After procuring a smidgen of coin, I figured "why not," and thought I would try my hands at doubling my earnings. "Ah, a good old fashion game of Heads or Tails, today I will go with my usual pick, tails has never let me down!" I say, unaware of the chain of consequences this decision would lead to. "Heads!" says the man, as I reluctantly forfeit my earnings. "Well that's alright," I thought to myself, "I'll just earn a bit more and try my hand at it again, surely tails won't fail twice!" But fate would not be so kind. 

My excitement quickly turned to disappointment, as the coin fell, revealing only a head. "One more try!" I foolishly shout, "There's no way it won't be tails this time!" The last bit of hope within me would soon fade, as all I see before me is the face of a coin, staring into my very being, taunting my very existence. "I can't back down at this rate," I thought to myself, "If I choose heads now, then what does that say about the kind of person I am?" 

It was no longer about the money at this point, I desired nothing more than to see the coin come up tails. Attempt after attempt, one disappointment after another, all I could see is that arrogant face staring at me over and over and over. I grew angry, and I knew deep inside me that I should stop, but my pride would not let me. I lost all sense of reasoning, all that was left was the need for all my hard work, all my dedication to choosing the same side of the coin time and time again, to have not been for nothing.

As the timer inched closer and closer to zero, all I could do was push onwards and keep trying. As the last few seconds of the clock ticked away, I watched the coin flip for one last time, each rotation feeling like an eternity itself. My heart racing, I could barely handle the anticipation, I felt as though I could collapse at any moment. 

And just as I was ready to give up, I see the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes upon. The coin had landed on tails. I couldn't believe it, after all this time, all these attempts, the unending rollercoaster of emotions I had been on for the longest 200 seconds of my life, had come to a stop. I may not have beaten the game, but I was victorious. I was happy.

Wow that really made me feel proud of my game, well even if you didn t beat the game at least you learned a lessen  "never pick Tails" jk i meant "never gamble", you could beat the game without gambling at all just saying, i was planing on adding a different ending for that but i kinda forgot.

Thank you very much for playing the game!

the rotating character is really really good (dont listen to the other guy) game was fun, dont know what you did, but i'd give the player higher odds when flipping a coin. Great gam

Developer

Glad you had fun playing the game! every1 here seems to be unlucky xd(i m too) the gambling is 50 50 chance of doubling all your money or losing them all. Thanks for the feedback.

I love that the guy just rolls to walk xD this was fun and a good use of the theme!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice music and artstyle. I suggest you do some tweaks like animate the character when moving rather than rotating it. The left side task is very easy, hitting the container with the cup anywhere will provide money. I suggest collisionTrigger only on top of the container. The right side task is very difficult. Rather than losing all the money, the player should be left with some amount of money. Overall nice concept. 

Developer

Thanks for the suggestions! I ll keep that in mind, myb when the voting ends i ll make a little update.

It's a great game! I like the visual effects. However the gambling mechanic seems a bit unfair (or I'm just super unlucky idk) and you should change it to lose 50% of your money of something instead of going back to 0.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! the gambling is 50 50 change of doubling your money or losing it all soooo(pssss i m super unlucky too), you can also win without gambling myb when the voting ends i ll add a different ending for that.

It was very fun to play this game, the music and sound effects are perfect.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Glad you had fun!

Looks great, and sounds great!

I liked the music, I think you have selected the right track for the game. Visually, I liked the noise effect on the screen, I wonder how you did it. I'd love to know if you can share if that's a screen shader or something else! Apart from those, I liked that gameplay loop because it was a little "rush" kind of game. If it was a longer game, I probably would've stopped playing after 3-4 minutes.

Good entry!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the game!

That noise effect was just from the unity post processing thing, it s called the film grain.

Pineapple pizza for the win!

This game is AMAZING! This is the first music in the whole jam that I was actually sad to turn off. The art is awesome, and the gambling is fun! great job!

Absolutely stellar art! The concept is cool and easy to understand, too! Great job!

Developer

Really nice art style, and the way the character moved was really funny! It was a little short but that's okay for a 3 day game jam. There also was this bug with cup game were sometimes the cups would spawn in the bottom left and you could not get it there, if both spawned there then you have to close the menu and reopen it. Other than that is was pretty good!

I would love it if you could rate my game as well.  I'm trying to get at least 10 ratings!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I forgot to disable the collision between the cup and the ground, i think that was causing the problem.

Thank you for playing!

I really like the art style and the only problem is how short it is.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Myb i ll add more to it after the voting end, myb a second minigame or a story.

The game was really fun! the art was beautiful and overall I just had a good time the game play itself was a tad bit lackluster but overall the experience was very fun well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

The movement of the character is really amazing XD 

I also really enjoyed the sounds and the "mmm..." of the gambling guy. Nicely done :-)

The only thing is that I would move you back on the main on the tavern when you lose all the money in the gambling, it took me a while to understand I had to push "E" to return to the hall.


P.S.

Come to leave feedback also on my game, I really appreciate :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! Glad you liked it!

When I first went to move the character I burst out laughing. So hilarious and unexpected XD

I like the simplicity. Just like in real life, do hard work to get money and then lose it all gambling.

Awesome job!

Developer

Thanks

The artstyle is really nice, the way the character moves is silly, but also really fun.

Overall maybe a bit too unforgiving lol

Still, well done!

I want to stress that i really liked the artstyle of the pub

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the artstyle!
