Very creative take on the theme! I, like the others, didn't understand which combinations on slot machines gave which rewards; I've only ever seen the "three-of-a-kind" win in movies and such. Once I got the feel for which combinations paid out what and how they affected the customer's mood, it was a lot more fun!
Very constructive feedback, thank you!
I had to google how slot machine work, because I didn't understand exatly how to maximize my profit. But anyway, good experience !
Thank you! In this game, you are playing as the casino, not as the customer.
If you want maximize your profit, you have to do the opposite of what you normally would do in front of a slot machine - maybe, we try to improve the user experience a bit to make it more obvious, it's not that easy to understand ;-)
Some tutorials would be great! Very unique idea and interesting cocnept!
Thanks! It seems that a tutorial is necessary. You are in good company with you advice.
This is a really good idea, however, the gameplay was confusing and I wasn't really able to get into it. I think a clearer interface and some sort of tutorial could make this into a much more fun and interesting experience.
Thanks! Maybe we can add a tutorial in the future. But we will remember this for the next jam.
Awesome Game! The concept is very creative and original, it encourages you to think strategically on how to satisfy your pockets and the customer. Although I think the game could be a bit improved and expanded by adding different customers and explaining the slots a bit better. Still, very nice work, good job!
Thank you! Maybe we sit down again one day and keep working on the game.
I loved the creativity put into finding the theme to fit the jam. It is entertaining to play and the artwork is really well done!
Really creative and fun!
I don't really know how slots work so I was a little confused about the gameplay. Maybe have a brief explainer at the beginning. Interesting concept though.
Thanks! That's great advice.
