Hey, let's start the game (together) everyone! It has beautiful graphics, insane audio, clean controls, and once you start the game, the game has started! Glad I joined in the fun, and I dig mini games. I'll be back. it's beautiful!

loved the art and the concept... set up a few high scores and then tried for five minutes to quit the game, had to ALT+F4 it in the end lmao

It's a beautiful and polished game. Liked the minigames! This would probably look amazing in Unreal Engine with the lighting properly set up.
I don't really get the social experiment thing, maybe it's just me :P
Also, having a crosshair (or just a dot) would really help with interactions.
This looks awesome!

@locopelli1 thanks for playing ! The game will evolve depending on player actions. It could even be different from your last playthrough right now... ;)
@c42 Haha we saw your high scores :D
@pfs thanks for the kind comment. The "social experiment" thing is... well... can't say much about without spoiling. All I can say is that the game evolves depending on player actions ;)
@midorimelody Thanks !
@hundred YEAH THANKS FOR THE COOL COMMENT ! :D

I went in deep ZLWoocm.jpg and I think it took me to the end.
It has a very polished feel to it, and it's an interesting concept. Cool experiment!

Really cool graphics and the idea is great. It was hard to push this bar to the start side on my own, I gave up. Congrats !
Really cool game, would recommend!
Wow I loved it! The concept is really innovative and it is really impressive you managed to make all those switch minigames in a Jam.
Really great!
Did you try compiling for WebGL? I really think you would get more ratings if you did.

@kpedatte @narom42 @tarvisplays thanks for the kind comments !
@mark-kelly congrats on the 100 quits ;)
@croxel-studios thanks for the comment, we did not try already, but the game files might be too "heavy" for a WebGL build. We could however make a less "pretty" webgl version, should get light enough to work with it. We'll take a look ;)

Just started my rating spree and boy oh boy are other games unlucky as this just set the bar quite high. I liked the clean visual style, the punchy soundtrack and of course the concept. The minigames are a nice touch to add to the "fun" part of it.
Needing to force-quit the game is a nice touch.

Thanks for the really kind comment @erikiene ! We're glad the game pleased you ! Oh you did a force quit... There's another way out... But shhhhh.... that's a secret ;)

This is a neat concept with incredibly polished resources! The lengths you must've went for this experience are unreal... Kudos to the whole team! You did a maginficent job at this. This is a neat concept with incredibly polished resources!
The graphics are very well done, I like it. I had the same idea for a game, but the execution is very different. I really liked your interpretation.

Thanks @trexxak for the kind comment.
@rainbows-are-fun I tried your entry, and yes indeed we had the same idea, incredible ! Yours is really cool too ;)

Great concept man! Also the graphics is amazing. Can;t believe something like this can be achieved in such a short time!

Wow, it's one of the most creative games on this jam! I really liked the graphics and the atmosphere in general. The mini-games are cool and classic too. Your project is very promising. I hope one day to play a bigger and more complete version of your game. Congratulations on the work.
The atmosphere was on point. Really good work all around.

This game has amazing graphics! It gave me SUPERHOT vibes, which I love. It's amazing what you guys were able to create in such a short time!
This is a super unique entry! Amazing job on the graphics!
Wow, incredible concept. I liked the UI and the community stats. Well done!
Really liked the graphics, but that is not why the game is so interesting. Great job with the interpretation of the concept, the UI and the transitions - all surrouding the theme. Well done!
Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on 10/12. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://tinyurl.com/yy4oycvv

Thanks everyone for the kind comments :D
@ursagames just checked your stream, thank you for playing. Yes there is quite more to the game, but we didn't check the global loop depth, looks like some players pushed the start count to 300+ overnight ! That's quite impressive... But it looks like right now that someone got it back to 0. You might want to check the game again, as things may have changed ;)
@raivk Ohhh, nice! I checked it out for a bit and got to try some of the minigames, very cool! Shame I was stuck in the small room loop based on my timing. Awesome entry!

What really got me was after starting so many times and then trying to quit and realizing what that was gonna be like haha. Really cool idea and I like the little apartment!
What an interesting entry. I was very impressed at first that the UI and menu had so much care put into it, then realised after a few minutes why - I was going to be spending a bunch of time in it. :sweat_smile: what a gorgeous game, though! I have no idea if I discovered most of the things to be discovered, I'm guessing not. I admit, however, that after trying all the games and playing with the floating furniture, I dedicated myself to singlehandedly Starting The Game. I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of payoff from it, though perhaps I missed something! I did however become curious as to what happened if we QUIT the game. But by then I wasn't going to quite 201 times so I'll have to consign that to the annals of history ;)
Genuinely though, one of the most intriguing entries I've seen in an LD, lovely visuals and UI, and online functionality in an LD game is always impressive.
The LD site is being garbage as usual so I can't post my image proof, so I've uploaded it to imgur:

Thanks for the nice feedback !
@pickens-inc thanks for playing ! You discovered about... half of the game ? But yeah, that's a lot of quits to see the other part of the content. Anyway, you could check in a few days, the numbers of start & quits are changing from time to time depending on players, so you might discover something new !
Congrats though, that's quite a lot of starts, nice achievement ! We're glad you got to enjoy and explore the game ;)

I decided to push to the quit side from 100 starts, I've seen some things. I don't know if there is more to it than two places, but maybe I'll check again later. Minigames were a nice touch! Graphics are good and the game kept me trying to explore for more.

I found a way out, sort of...

@tomssuli It looks like you saw a lot of what the game has to offer ! Thank you for playing ;) And you found a way out... kinda ? haha... But have you found the REAL way out of this game ? (it's well hidden and not obvious...)
very polished game in every details :)
Haha nice idea.
Alrighty, this is a seriously underrated Ludum Dare entry. This HAS to be my favourite Ludum Dare 47 game, period. It's the only one that I felt deserved a 5/5 stars in the overall category, and I don't take that lightly! It's clear that you guys are a professional studio, full of incredibly talented people. I don't know how, but you managed to make an incredibly polished, fun and interesting game in one weekend! That's a huge deal. Seriously, good job. I won't spoil anything for other readers, so I won't go into further detail, but you'll have to play this. I love all the attention to detail, like the amazing graphical fidelity, the UI (animations) which are just so clean, the sound design, all the different little games, the networking features. Sheeze.. there's just a lot of work for 1 weekend. Congratz guys :)

Hey there @virtual-turtle-studio ! Thanks for the kind comment ! We're extremly happy to hear that :) We indeed work together as a small indie game studio beside our main jobs, and we hope to continue improve and make better games. Comments like yours are what makes us continue making games. We've been working together for a long time, so we know how to optimize our time. We also like to make smaller but more polished games, that explains the level of polish :D

I would also like to start this game, even though there are more priority kind of game now. And, before I start playing, I like to learn more about each casino. I prefer to play at a casino that offers such amenities. And, thanks to this source https://darmowegry-online.pl/kasyno-online/ I can see how trustworthy the casino is, which is also very important to me.

Weird
Good concept, clear and predictable plot development. But whether it will be exciting I don't know. As a developer of https://pinup-casinos.in/mobile/ I can only be pleasantly surprised, and very much looking forward to the official release

And these kinds of interfaces are all around us, just like in programming. For example, you use some npm library, let's say class names, which allows you to add and remove CSS classes depending on different conditions. If you open the documentation, you'll see that it clearly describes what parameters the npm package accepts and what result it returns. This is the interface of the npm package classnames. If you work with this, you won't make much money. Better to start playing https://joefortunecasinovip.com/. Gambling is prevalent in Australia right now.
