How does your game fit the theme?
To keep playing you need to win bullets at the slot machine. But the slot requires one bullet to play! - Luck plays an important role in your success or defeat! Also... dice roll when killed!

A nice little shoot em up.
I just kind of felt like I didn't really know what was going on with bullet sizes constantly changing and not super following the slot machine effects. I guess it felt disjointed. Maybe if I spent more time with it it'd become more clear.
The art and theming was nice, no bugs and decent controls, good work
We should've been clearer with the explanation of the game! We will try and add a tutorial next time!
Thanks! :D
I had fun playing, At first I didn't know how to spin the slot machine, might help for me to read the page haha. The hardest enemies are the ones that came from the bottom. Enemies from the side you had more time to think about it, but then again the game is called casino panic so you gotta think quick. I liked the different abilities of the slot machine, especially when I got these bigger bullets that was really cool.
Glad to know you've enjoyed it! :
Cool game, beautiful art ! Smart idea to force the player to use bullets as resources !
Thank you! :D
Really cool concept! The art is amazing, good job! Really enjoyed playing!
Wow thank you!!
Fantastic art. I wish I could restart without having to skip the rules every time. Very clever use of theme. I love using the slot machines to gain ammo. Great job.
Noted! Will surely add this requested feature! Thanks!!
It's all pretty well resolved! Some power-ups were hard to understand at first without a tutorial, but you learn them quickly. It's quite fun and has a good finish! Maybe the HUD and menus could be improved, but overall it's a great submission! Good job ;D
Btw, I got 17623 score 😎
Thank you! We'll try to make the HUD better then! :D
The game is very pretty and has a really nice atmosphere! It feels a bit bad when you run out of chips, but still a very nice entry :)!
Thanks!!
I really like the bank shot mechanic a lot and there's a nice variety in the kind of effects you get from the slot machine.
Using your ammo for the slot is a really good idea in that it sets up a cool risk/reward factor where you trade off some defensive ability for a chance of a power up. On the other hand, since it's the only way to get ammo, you're kind of forced to 'farm' chips to not run out, which isn't really ideal for an action game.
One thing i will say is that having a risk of simply running out of ammo and losing made me really invested in the outcome of the slot, which is something i think a lot of the other jam games which try to minimize the randomness are missing.
One thing i'd reccomend looking into for pixel art games is having a consistent resolution. There's a lot of different sizes, and it looks kind of odd when, for example, the pixels on the slot machine are twice as big as on the player character. I also think some of the sprites are getting slightly warped due to the screen resolution not lining up with the sprite resolution properly.
Other than that, i think the sprites are all farily nice, and the use of lighting really helps make things pop and look polished.
Overall, a nice experience with some good ideas.
Thank you for the detailed feedback!
I totally agree on the sprite size. My girlfriend and I aren't that experienced yet, but we will try to do better next time!
Thanks again!!!
