I don't know how to play BlackJack so I didn't really understand the game. It does look very good, though.

Developer

Thanks for playing anyway!

Oh, I forgot about this game! Used to play it all the time with my family when I grew up! Nice presentation, very clean and nice music. Would really have loved to play this multiplayer. And to spice it up, maybe you could add some animations to interactions in the menu and with buttons. Great job though!

A fellow scandinavian has been spotted! Thank you for playing the game Pontus and for the kind words, I hope it played like you remember it. I really wanted to make sure the game logic worked and that it had a nice feel. If i continue development it will certainly include multiplayer and more animated UI elements

I loved how it is polished and the sounds effects. I already played a similar game but still a classy game

Developer

Thank you for the kind review VKChiuselli. Classy is a good description, I appreciate the compliment 😊

Sometimes I understand how it works, sometimes I don't. Why can't I call anytime? Sometimes the game asks me to call bluff or reroll, when I have a good combination on hands, and I doesn't feel good. But I really love the whole idea of bluffing and calling a bluff, plays really good for such a simple set of rules. The music is great!

Developer

Thanks for giving my game a play williander! The reason you can't call is because the outcome you have isn't better/equal to what the CPU previously rolled (displayed in the "Last Call" boxes), so you have to roll again and see if you can get a better outcome or bluff a better/equal outcome. Thank you for the feedback 😊

Isn't a Little Meyer better than two 3's? I think that was the outcome I remember not wanting to reroll.

Developer

Yes it is and you should have been able to call Little Meyer, if that wasn't an option it might have been a bug (sorry bout that) 🤷‍♂️

Love the style and how consistent it is! Also the music fits perfectly 👌

Unfortunately, I was also a little bit confused by it. Simplifying the UI and displaying tutorial as steps (based on importance) might result in better understanding of the game

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing the game Petr 😊 I very much appreciate the feedback. A better tutorial is probably the way to go, I will add more screenshots and hopefully it will explain the games objectives and mechanics better

i understood the game a bit but i was bit confused while playing it

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing my game! I understand that i need to explain the mechanics better. If you don't mind, would you point out areas you found confusing? That way i can add more details to the description of the game, that might make it easier for new players to understand the game. Thanks again for giving it a go, It's much appriciated!

I read the how to play and was still confused on what the game was and what the objective of it was. Meyers and Little Meyers were never explained. I kept running into the issue where I had no more rolls left, couldn't call, and my bluff wasn't good enough to call, so I just got stuck and didn't know where to go from there.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing my game! I'm sorry it was confusing to play, I will update the description of the game to better explain the mechanics. Meyer is a 1 and 2 and Little Meyer is a 1 and 3, the objective is just to get an equal or better outcome than the opponent. You should always be able to bluff with Meyer if you want to pass.
