Thanks for playing.

I really liked the daddy dice. I think I also have a daddy dice in my head when I go to the casino. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing. Don't give in to the daddy dice though, it will make you bankrupt brother.

Submitted

Really neat game! Having two endings must have taken a lot of time, congratulations!

Developer

My time is a small sacrifice for a game. Thank you for playing.

Submitted

less of a game, more of a interactive novel, and I like seeing that here. I think you did a good job of representing gambling addiction. The art style is charming. Thank you!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed.

I too only found out about the fight from the comments, but after that it was really fun and also a really though challenge! I loved the undertale inspiration and the sound design was also cool!

Developer

Maybe I should have made it more clear but I am very glad people look at the comments and figure it out aahhaha. Glad you enjoyed.

Submitted

I didn't figure out that there was a fight scene until I read the comments, I'm just so used to following the instructions of a game lol. Maybe you could hint to the possibility of the fight by adding a "the only way to win at gambling is not to play" comment on the first loss screen? I like that you don't mention it specifically but maybe this little nudge would inspire people to try again that would otherwise just quit the game?

I liked the theme and the story a lot though!

Developer(+1)

That is actually a very solid idea, that would be a very good hint. Thanks for your valuable feedback.

Incredible game with a surprising concept and a deep theme. I recognized the undertale inspiration and loved it !

Developer

Thanks for playing.

Submitted

Really cool and i like the boss battle!

Developer

"A game without a boss battle is no game". Glad you enjoyed.

Submitted

I didn't know there was actually a fight until I read the comments. Fun game!

Developer

Thanks for playing. Hope you liked it.

Submitted

Ha, it took me reading the comments to realize that you could do anything other than roll the dice and lose. Fun

Developer(+1)

Hahhah, only way to win at gambling is not to play. Hope you had a fun time tho.

Submitted

My enjoyment was limited a little bit by not being able to skip dialogue and the fight section being a little bit monotone and pretty hard, but at the very least it restarted at the start of the fight instead of having to do the whole intro.

It is a pretty creative interpretation that tells a story, however the game mechanics that tell the story are a bit too bland and heavily Undertale inspired.

The visuals and mechanics work prefectly, if I had a minor gripe it's that some buttons need to be clicked with the mouse, so it can't all be played just on keyboard.

Developer

Thanks for playing. I couldn't agree more with the skip dialogue option because seeing the same dialogues gets very old very quickly. It is just something that didn't make it in time.

the game is pretty good even though its just Undertale clone, still I can tell the main focus is on art and you done a great job at that 

the main menu is too high effort, I am saying not because it doesn't look, but  because you put your focus in the wrong place.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.

I loved the idea of replaying the game after doing a bad choice, the whole gameloop is like a learning process. Btw I laughed when I entered the casino and heard the same music as I used I my game. Good game overall :) 

Developer(+1)

Oh no,  I am busted. I have to check out your game now.
