i love the mix of roulette and puzzle, very clever idea!

the gameplay is also fun, one question is -  is the goal in the endless mode the same? should i always help the blue team? i was not sure at first, as this rule seems a bit random, if i can say so :) 

it is also really easy to miss that you can click on the table in the normal mode - i clicked on the roulette automatically at first hahah, maybe some visible hint would be nice here.

i also like the name of the game, though i think this Cruelette is not cruel at all :D even pretty nice sometimes!

great entry :)

Thank you for the feedback.

On Normal difficulty, the PLAN's number section, as well as the WHEEL's number section, flash for 3 seconds just before you are supposed to make the choice. On Hard mode, the plan is not flashing.

Yes, currently, in the Endless mode, you are still supposed to support the Blue team and hinder the Red team.

This game is amazing. As a puzzle game I find it genuinely original! I have not been good at it because I have never entered a casino in my life and I don't know how a roulette works but you can understand it anyway. Also very cool that there are even difficulty levels. Very polished everything, great job, congratulations!

Thank you for your kind words!

The logic of roulette is simple: You bet on smaller or larger pools of numbers (1-2-3-4-6-12 or 18 numbers at a time), and you get (36/[count of numbers in the pool]) times your bet IF one of those numbers is rolled.

However, there are THIRTY SEVEN numbers on the wheel (including zero), making it disadvantageous for the players.

Very cool idea and execution! The visualisation is top-tier, i have no idea how rulette works so it really helped :) 

Great job!

Thank you for the kind words! I am glad that the highlighter of applicable numbers is getting some use, because it was a tough cookie to code.

That's interesting. The game is well-crafted and engaging. It's just that I hadn't encountered this mechanic before, so I wasn't familiar with the rules.

Good point, thank you for the feedback! I somehow incorrectly assumed _everyone_ knew roulette :-)

Very cool! I have no idea how to play roulette, but I think I get the idea. I like the characters.

When you hover over any token, you will see how much they bet and what the payout can be.

Basically, you can bet on a single, double, triple, quadruple, sextuple, 12 or 18 numbers at once, and your payout is 36/[how many numbers you bet on] TIMES your token. So a 20$ token bet on a triple (line of numbers) means IF any of them is rolled, you will get 12x20 = 240 dollars back.

But in this game, you don't bet, you control where the ball will drop, so you can decide who will win and how much.
