Polished entry ;)

Hey, funny punchline at the end. Other than that I have to say this does not make much sense. It seems the poker part is completely irrelevant so we are basically left with a customized ad at the end.

It is great that you created this in 48 hours, props for that. Still it is quite confusing to be honest. At first I just clicked through the questions, not really paying attention to them. I was trying to figure out how the poker game works and what it had to do with the likes. After playing through I read the comments and it became clear that the only real joke here is the ad at the end. Replaying and paying attention to the answers I realized you had some things prepared here.

Another thing, the source code and HTML5 links point to the same page. Where is your source code?

kromeboy 2019-04-29 14:19

@gonutz thank you for your comment. The source is on the Itch page, just below the game "download"

gonutz 2019-04-29 18:15

Oh yes, I see it now, nevermind then. Thanks!

Nice interpretation of the theme!

emmy 2019-04-29 22:02

This made me laugh and I had fun playing it. Good job!

Hahahaha...haha...ha......Ok I'll go find a girlfriend online... :cry:

At first I thought you were collecting my personal data. The end was worst than this (Good entry, man)

klausklapper 2019-04-30 11:56

It was a really interesting take on the theme.

nexusviper 2019-04-30 15:00

Played once with no clue because havent played poker in my life. got somewhere around 79 likes and then i left it. Not rating as i am not the right person to do so for this game.

historymaker118 2019-05-02 17:01

This was strange. I don't understand it at all, but at least you've invented something unique.

tattomoosa 2019-05-02 17:27

Nice ending lol. Really nice take on the theme, since your *actual* life is a currency and not any in-game life. I really liked that.

I think if maybe you had to spend likes to get a second deal then the gameplay would have been more engaging. I know the point is in the 'story' and I think it serves well as an art piece, but reading other reviews I see some people never made it that far and maybe some sort of risk/reward system would encourage more people to stick around for the ending. Some sort of background music or ambient sound would go a long way too.

Great use of the theme.

hugzfnr 2019-05-03 13:10

hey, funny take on the theme ! I've felt like the pokwer part could use some more feedbacks to feel more impacting. Cheers!

jk5000 2019-05-03 18:18

The idea is interesting, and the game is okay fun to play.

john-snyder 2019-05-03 18:37

I love your take on the theme and how that's integrated. I do feel there needed to be more variety when it comes to the poker aspect other than the deal button. I do love how the game ends. It was overall a pretty fun experience but needed a bit more game play

fashionbatman 2019-05-03 18:37

That was a unique take on "life as currency". Good job!

kromeboy 2019-05-03 18:43

@john-snyder have you figure out how to change cards? If not is OK: is a common issue with the interface. I will add some blinking squares in the post jam version :-D

annie-owl 2019-05-04 08:14

Interesting concept, but I think for this idea to work fully, there should be some sort of social network integration, so people would answer actual questions about themselves. Although, if that was the case I would probably have passed on the game, because I'm a scaredy cat and don't want to give my personal info to anyone, so I'm glad it's not the case in current version :smile:

kromeboy 2019-05-04 08:37

@annie-owl an optional social integration (via a simple link to invite your friends and have a sort of compatibility test/poker game) was planed but scraped because I had issues with external links in the compiled HTML5 versions hosted on itch.io, and not enough time to debug it.

Maybe is something for the postjam release

frank-gevaerts 2019-05-10 13:34

A very nice take on the theme!

randomhuman 2019-05-15 20:33

I was legitimately starting to freak out about answering the questions before I got to the punchline! Well done, really makes you think :smile:

This tupe of poker is like slots. When I started playing slots, I lost a lot of money and time and realized that slots are not profitable. I thought for a long time and began to study the art of poker. A month later, I knew absolutely everything about poker and played great. I tried to play in a casino a couple of times and I realized that I can make money on this. I played for about 3 weeks and accumulated a fairly large amount of money. But be very careful when you play, because to win you need to have a very high skill in the game, and you also need to be able to correctly distribute the bank and play only in reliable casinos like https://clubvip777.com/lobby/ . This is the best casino!

seems to be like a really nice game, wanna try it.

2020-12-08 10:24

gambling is cool, interesting and profitable, I regularly play with friends. I recommend you [schweizercasinoclub.com](https://schweizercasinoclub.com/bobcasino/), a proven resource with up-to-date and informative online review at Bob Casino online, go without wasting time, learn more, register and get a bonus, I wish you all good luck and more victories!

Freut mich jeden auf meiner Seite zu sehen. Ich erzähle Ihnen ein wenig über mich, ich arbeite als Wachmann in einem nahegelegenen Supermarkt, Sie haben wahrscheinlich gemerkt, dass mich mein Job nicht sehr anzieht, aber ich habe keine andere Wahl. In meiner Freizeit spiele ich gerne in Casinos auf https://spielautomatcasinos.at/casino/neteller/ auf und es bringt mir zusätzliche Einnahmen. Ich kann sagen, mein Hobby macht mir großen Spaß, es beruhigt mich immer und lenkt mich vom Trubel ab. Ich habe einen Link hinterlassen, falls dich das plötzlich interessiert.

2021-12-29 15:35

Until it turned out to find out if I will win more than friends. I got everyone out with invitations to play poker ...

2021-12-29 15:37

This is a really interesting idea. I like it when old long-established concepts can be diversified with something new. All people, even those who are not associated with gambling, at least once heard about poker and roughly represent the principles of the game. And when something familiar for a long time turns out to be modernized, interest in this thing wakes up anew. I usually amuse myself by constantly changing gaming platforms. Now I have settled on 12Bet(https://12betno1.com/), perhaps later I will switch to something new. But for a couple of hours, I will definitely be distracted by this version, thanks for your efforts.

Nice ending lol. Really nice take on the theme, since your actual life is a currency and not any in-game life. I really liked that. I've only seen this before at https://parimatch1.in/app/, but I'm trying different types of games and really liking poker lately.
