I think this can be made into a good game with some work. In level 1 I can just stand in the top left corner to win. Level 2 never seems to progress, is that a bug?

@loveapplegames Thanks. Ya, really ran-out of time on this one and was never really happy with the end result. More of a short concept and went on just doing another game after this. Very much might be a bug, will check it out.

I enjoyed the hell out of this game. I got out of level 2, though it seemed to have taken longer than the first; but honestly, I thought it was supposed to be like that.

I really like the whole bet mechanic, fits the theme pretty well. The art is nice and the challenges themselves are decent. Good work.

It's a pretty basic, but challenging experience. I like the art style that reminds me of flash games, the music really adds to the weirdness. And I'm a noob in it :(

Cool concept, i liked the game! At the beginning i thought it's rather difficult, but a few levels later I became used to the mechanics. Really cool ideas. If you continue working on the game, give the player a bit more time to get in contact with new enemies. The walking animation is really great!

This was surprisingly OK for an unfinished entry. I only managed 1400 points, I’m not fond of betting and level 4 is really hard for me! The mechanics work well, the gameplay feels a bit like some of the Undertale combat phases. I just think the whole thing would be a lot more fun with keyboard or gamepad support. I like the art style (I hope it’s not offensive if I say it makes me think of Keith Haring).

Oh, feels like a logical sequel for Cluttered Mind. But with much more gameplay this time. :smiley: Great progress! I don't think it's 'boring', just needs more content, levels, intensity, etc. (basically every jam game needs more of these, haha).

Here is my playthrough:

@icxon Thanks for the kind words, was really not that happy with the result personally but it's great to hear that the potential can be seen at-least :) I enjoyed parts of it, the art is always fun to do etc. It did give me something in the end and I am happy for that at-least. Thanks for playing!

I love the undertale feeling of this game... it's quite difficult and i love it! i would like to see some endless mode after your 4-5 level ( dont remember was focused on not dying and scoring 24400 ^^ )

I like the game mechanics, the artwork and the ambient music. It felt like playing Undertale - but this one was way harder for some reason, what the hell :D I really liked it a lot!

I love the base mechanic and presentation in this one! It also plays really smoothly. And your choice of audio is great, too!

While you may not like your game, I certainly do!

hauo 2019-05-18 16:59

@purrseus Thanks, from the feedback so far it might not be as bad as I persive it myself, I do think it had potential for something more :)

Amazing game. Tonnes of fun!

multiplexor 2019-05-18 20:23

Very well done!

Levels are all challenging and diverse and it really fits the theme very well! Also, the art and ambience is very well done! All in all, very good entry!

Keep up the awesome work!

Really fun! The art is super vibrant, and really just pleasing to look at. The music is kind of, slow? I'm not sure, but I think a more jumpy poppy song would better suit the game. Other than that, it's pretty fun! I also really apprecite the telegraph on the spear attacks. It makes dodging SO much easier, and not as frustrating as it could be.

Great game! I liked the graphic style a lot as well and music and sound fx. The animations made it weird and moody. I liked to control the character with drag, it made it different and more intuitive and engaging to play. Very cool entry!

Is there any update on this game? The concept looks fun, and I would love a break from real betting because I lost money on some games I thought I would win for sure. I love gambling, and I'm aware of the fact that I will have to lose money sometimes, but I get angry when I lose. I can't do anything about it because I was always a competitive person. I will have to change a few things about my gambling approach. My friend told me to try out the tips from https://www.wunderdog.com/college-football/picks. Who knows, it might work.

To be honest, I am now also more and more inclined towards those games that bring good profits. I often watch my older brother, who plays almost every day and wins at online casinos quite often. On his advice, I studied this article https://chiefcasinos.com/best-payout-online-casino/ to understand the most generous online casinos in Canada with the highest payout percentages. I am sure that this is exactly what I need to win the jackpot.

Such an interesting concept and cool idea! Even before I got into gambling and sports betting I liked to play different flash games with such an unusual artistic style. And the source of https://bettingoffersfinder.co.uk/ just showed how unusual and beautiful games for real money. I mostly choose top UK sites where both no deposit bonuses and good betting offers are available.
