I wondered how this fit the theme at first, but soon, dang it got dark. Thought I found the perfect spot to drop it each time, but then it got worse...
Love the background and overall graphics effects.

"I'm not paying you to play." .. damn! I like this game - seemingly plain at the outset, it proves to be rather deep from a story standpoint. Really great job!
Nice way to use gaming to prove a point. Gambling mechanics were sound. Wonder if it is winnable though.
You made a point in the game, but it would be better if you can make it more playable, like add some extra control or obstacle to allow players to stay more in control
At first I was thinking it was a simple Pachinko game, but after seeing the comments I understood there was more, and it was good! I like the way you're using the gameplay to send a message.
Also, it's rare to see a game use the Godot Engine, good point for you.
Great job!
It's pachinko, but dark, and I'm generally not fond of these kinds of games that force your hand to make a point. Points for Mood though!
this was really unexpected game. I liked the ending.
Haha nice twist with the horrible loans! I loved the audio!
Nice story that I feel I'm trapped in the casino... And when I see the end I think it fits the theme well. Love it. But one problem: in one round the ball drops in the middle area but still lost.
Really liked the story and the message :)
The game, from a gameplay perspective was not the most interesting, but I guess that was not the goal ^^
Just a small tip for the game jams, make quickly clear that this is more than just a game of dropping a ball, because if I hadn't read the comment I would have miss the whole point of the game, which would have been sad ;)
Great job. The main flaw in this game is how it isn't really clear that anything will happen if you lose. You can go on for a LOOONNNNGGGGG time without losing. If I hadn't seen comments about it I probably would have quit without finishing the game and just thought you make a coin dropping game.
Interesting, maybe you should lower initial money, I played for a long time to see how can I win (no success).
