I was confused for a while because I couldn't figure out the point of the slot machine (My bad, I didn't read the game page!) but once I did, I actually had fun for a while! My brain really likes the multitasking *-*
Slot machine and gambling is not very intuitive unfortunetaly. However, I’m happy you enjoyed a game :D
P.S.: As a side note, players like multitasking xD
i ahv ethe high score ever (does not remember)
i love gambling 10/2
I like you were dedicated in multiple (or at least one good) game, keeping it would be a good idea then. I’m not satified that gambling system couldn’t be more expanded by me, you are a next person who is enjoying it :D
Interesting multitasking needed for playing this which I found to be a unique challenge. I did not find the controls to be problematic as some others did, but I think it may be because naturally for me, I was tapping the buttons rather than holding them, when tapping it seems to work nicely. Do I understand correctly that you designed this without the use of a game engine like Godot or Unity?
Exactly, I wrote a code by myself using C++ and SFML library (so no engine used). The main advantage of this is a quite small size of files (1 to 2 MB), but of course this method of takes much more time.
Agree, that tapping is better than standard key pressing. Anyway, thank you for response :D
You must get 5 stars for originality then in my opinion, for writing from a lower level!
Well, combining gambling and rabbit sliding is a bold concept but I'll allow it.
The way the rabbit move is a little disturbing and the game is a little simple.
For me, the fun comes from multitasking with the slot machine.
I’m happy you found something interesting for yourself. As you could read at this page, the gambling system was planned to be more extensive.
Thanks for adding the OS :-)
Played some rounds and have some pro and con impressions:
All in all a nice, small, enjoyable game. good job!
Thank you too for your comprehensive opinion and for enjoying game :D
About slot machine, your proposal is a very interesting idea, however I was not able to implement it better. What I can to add (according to my previous answers) is that power-ups or its symbols planned to be collected at lanes and be activated. So, current implementation is about 20-25% of the very first idea.
Controls are the next (I think less but still) disadvantage, but I also mentioned earlier about my decision. Changing lanes can be very hard, even impossible when too much red boxes will be spawned (however I implemented a “backdoor” too not generate three impassible boxes in the same wave).
Two problems keep me (and maybe others) from playing your game.
1. No browser-playable version
2. You haven't chosen a target OS for your downloadable version. This way, I can't even install it via itch app.
Sorry, I haven’t checked a proper game platform while uploading a file. This game is only working with Windows (no browser sorry), you need to unzip the file and choose an .exe file to run a program.
I added a target OS, so maybe it will work (however I haven’t used itch app yet).
a big plus for the size of the game, the controls are unfortunately not very responsive :(
This is an advantage (one of a few, but still) of compiling game from the code. I know that controls especially for horizontal directions are not friendly, I should let them to be more responsive or modify a bit more to emulate a sliding to the bottom of the screen.
It looks cool, but why do you need a fruit slot machine?
Thank you for response, I hope you enjoyed the game.
About slot machine was a part of bigger mechanic (which I didn’t implement due to lack of time) and it’s goal was to get powerups (yes, the game also was planned to have them), but I only added a posibility to gain one health/heart when you choose all three (the same) symbols. If you didn’t noticed earlier, you can pull by clicking “Left Control”. However, there is a bug which I cannot eliminate with a third slot, so you need to pull it quite close to the center (it has not a cool animation like for two previous slots).
Didn't really understand the fruit machine aspect but otherwise fun enough
Thank you for your opinion, about slot machine I wrote quite big reply for @alljay post (that one above this, sorry I don’t want to copy-paste it)
