This is a really fun game! Some thoughts:
- I wish there was some lounge/jazz music to go along. Would fit with the casino vibe.
- The combination of luck and strategy and just reflexes is very clever. I like how you can take as much time as you want to think about what you want to do before throwing the ball.
- Cool scoring system.
Overall great work. Can't believe only 4 people rated it so far. A real hidden gem.
Thanks for the feedback! The jazz music is a brilliant idea that never even occurred to me!
Lots of FUN! Probably the most FUN I've had with any game I've rated so far. There's lots of little things that need to polished up, for instance if I grabbed a 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I'd get a pair instead of a sequence which didn't feel very fair. So it needs to detect highest possible hand or something or keep track of the order you click dice in or something. I also was able to cheese the game at times by holding the power meter and it stops the timer basically giving me infinite time to decide what to grab which obviously breaks one of the push/pull mechanics of the game. By clicking and holding the ball for a while sometimes I could get the power meter to stop altogether which would allow me to release the ball and have infinite time to collect dice before catching the ball (which never moved).
I understand those are just bugs and honestly they were really small when compared to just how FUN this game was. Seriously, this has been my favorite so far.
Polish it up, add a few things and you've got a great little game here. EXCELLENT job. Good luck in your overall rankings!
Thank you for the feedback! I do admit I skipped a lot of the QA step but I’ll definitely push an update to fix those bugs!
Well put together and actually a lot of fun! For a minute I was totally confused by the scoring but then I noticed the "Scoring" button and figured it all out. I like the clean visuals and sound effects. Similar to Jacks.
Thank you for the feedback! I actually already have a small update to give the scoring mechanic more visiblity, just waiting for the jam to end.
Had a real "WHAAAAAT" moment getting 60k points at once (might have been a error..but still felt great!). Very simple, but very well executed!
Haha you can get as high as 10 million if you’re incredibly lucky! You can see all the possible combinations in the Scoring popup.
In hindsight I should have made it clear how the scoring works front and center. Something to keep in mind for the next game jam!
