A fun little game, but it took me a while to find the coins on screen. (They are in the bottom right, for anybody having the same problem). Then i proceeded to gamble my life away. I did not have any children or money, but at least I finally got married at 85.

The music is really great on this game. The gameplay is a bit too simple for my taste though.

Really stellar little game. If the flashing didn't start hurting my eyes after a while I could sit there and put coins in for hours.

I love the aesthetic of this game, sounds are super great too! A little light on the gameplay side tho, and took me a little while to figure out how the game works, but overall really cool!

Congrats on your first time.

It was straight forward and to the point, unfortunately that meant for a lack of engaging gameplay. I definitely dig the CGA color scheme. :D

Wow I had a kid aged 75, what a stallion.

I like the degree of interactivity in this, and flipping the "time is money" adage is a really clever and effective approach to the theme.

Music is good, but a little repetitive, and the SFX are great. But what I really like is the graphics - just three colours, but used in such an attention-grabbing way. Nicely done.

Great concept!

@andidebob hey, thank you very much. yes your right, it was confusing, I hopefully fixed it by putting another arrow on top. thank you for playing :)

@caspercaper17 hey, thank you very much for playing. Yes, I agree, very simple, but there are only a few things in life that really matter. :)

@paragonraptors Hey man, thank you for your feedback and for playing my game. The crazy flashing is done on purpose. you can say, "when you get excited in life" and it can turn out either way :) congrats on your awesome game btw.

@dinosire Hey, thanks for playing, yes, it's not so much about the gameplay, I just enjoyed it for the sake of making something. but I will keep that in mind for the next time :)

@mrtroy Thank you for playing, agree, not much gameplay. It was not really my main focus. :)

@randomhuman Thank you for plying, glad you liked it :) Yes, music is a bit too repetitive. had to work quickly.

@konh Thank you very much :)

Maybe a little too luck driven, but otherwise very interesting game idea.

Cool concept! Love the artwork (color scheme), music, and overall aesthetic. Might be cool to incorporate more gameplay or more of a story element. Great work!

The graphics and sound are great, but I think the gameplay is too simple to be very interesting. It might be better if you could put in more coins to increase your odds of getting a specific result. This would represent trying harder for a specific goal of marriage/children/money. It also might make sense if the odds of each changed as you got older. I had a kid at 80, which is probably not great for me or the kid.

korteh 2019-05-21 17:25

wow its very simple, but i love it, especially graphics and sound

The game is super fun! All I could do with my time was becoming a millionaire! Here are my thoughts on the game: 1) Fantastic music that went so well with the game's art style. 2) Very simple mechanic and surprisingly addictive game. Keep up the good work! and please save our game too!
