@a-box I ran into some porting troubles, but it's up on my itch now (phew!)
Nice entry, gamble harvesting was a neat "spin" on the theme. Good work!
This is the cutest gambling I've ever experienced, dangerous! When I found the diagonal the game really opened up, fun and solid entry in every category
Hehe so dang cute and very amusing :)
Amazing little game and super creative :) The balance between the amount of randomness and the amount of control felt just right! Enough randomness to not feel like I was in complete control, but enough control to not be completely frustrated by the RNG. The art is also super cute and the music fits that completely. The only thing I noticed is that when I got the hang of it I feel I could have played it indefinitely. Generally my money income was greater than the cost of spinning.
This was a really great cute and enjoyable entry! Thanks a lot for making it :D
Sweet game with cute graphics. At first I only thought I could spin and move once. But then I realized I can move multiple times. That's pretty cool! I managed to get $62, then I was worried I'll get a gambling problem and stopped :D
this is really nice! the art is super cute, very visually polished :) the gameplay is interesting! i don't think ive played a game with a manipulatable slot machine like this. there's a lot of interesting nuance, like the order of your slide moves mattering to give you the most possible matches. I think i end up never using the freeze ability, there's just too much chance required. it'd be cool if the freeze lasted for 2 turns. Not a ton going on, but a really nice game for a ludum dare entry :) nice work
@wuppos Thank you, yeah after a while the cost/profit balance changes for sure!
@torcado Thanks for the feedback! I agree the freeze ability is weak, making it last more turns is a good idea.
Has a nice balance between randomness and player agency. I like the name of the game.
I like that there's more to this game than meets the eyes, it took me a few attempts before I picked up on the correct strategy (and stopped at $100). Very polished and the core gameplay is just fun. And the music doesn't get on my nerves even though I've been listening to what feels like the same 8 seconds on a loop for 15 minutes.
this is so cute and such a unique take! i loved the sfx and the art. simple and effective!
I love everything about this game, the art style is amazing and the concept is really interesting. It's so cute! Great Work!
This is a fun game, and I especially love the art! The music is also really cute and adds a great mood, though I think it felt a bit repetitive with time, so I'd recommend extending the loop a little if you keep working on this. Really enjoyed the core gameplay, and just dig the overall aesthetic.
The slot machine to grow crops concept is really fun and unexpected, and the character is cute!
That was an unexpected concept ! Well done !
Really atypical take on the harvest theme! Really cute art style, the rng can ruin your crops pretty hard so it's best to take a few shot and see everything that can happen, definitly worth it
I played this for waay too long. Great little game! The music is cute but a bit repetitive, though.
Interesting idea, I wish there was a bit more options to influence the result and be able to gamble more things for example, or anything to give a bit more control and feel like you're actually impacting things... But it's fun, I like it :)
Very innovative, scarily addictive! Went broke a couple of times, but I caught up on the turn tokens thing eventually. The game allows for a lot of creativity despite the RNG factor. Cute graphics and audio make the overall experience quite relaxing and pleasant. The money and token limits sting :sweat_smile:
@feor @paloobi @flyingmobula Thanks for playing! I ran out of time while making the music - leaving it to last minute wasn't the best idea!
It's so hard to say what's not good with that game. Maybe like... Fun jokes and storytelling missing, but.... Do we really need them? And it's such addictive. Very close to 2048 in some sense. One of my favorite entries so far
Nice concept! I really love the art and the simplicity. Can't get enough of the main character!
@ani totally feel you on time! I did pretty much the same for SFX in mine (not to mention some core features of my gameplay loop 😅) Your music's super cute, and really adds to the mood, so I'm glad you were able to get it in under the wire :)
Really interesting take on the theme and super neat little game! Graphics are very cute. It feels like maybe the game could use a little something more, like this little guy telling me about its life, or an ending of some sorts. Small stuff like this goes a long way in my experience. :) Excellent entry nonetheless!
Today I remembered this game and went to play it again for fun! Crazy!
I played it for long and to give you some more feedback I think the starfruit is a bit too powerful. You could decrease or even remove the money earned from harvesting it. Once I found out if gives the special moves I ended up only growing star fruit. It was fun finding out this strategy but at some point I had to close the game because there was no challenge after 300$ and 30+ special moves. Awesome entry!
Really expressive game. I'm not the biggest fan of pure rng, so the tactical aspect that emerges from "comboing" rotations is what really made it work for me. Excellent job.
Cute little game. Could make for a good minigame as part of a larger game. I managed to get over $100, which seemed like a good stopping point.
I loved the audio and graphics, lots of rng in the gameplay, but it would make for a cute lil minigame. good job!
I love a simple art style! (As you can probably tell with my game) This game is SOOO good. I love the music and the graphics and everything! It's quite addicting!
200 is where I think I'll call it hehe! 202.png
Thank god that was not my real money. Great one, keep it up!
Give me back my time! ;) Nice concept!
Nice little game it is quite addicting played it to 100 coins. the art is cute.
Adorable! I really liked the "luck" currency that you earn by losing, and how you can spend it to line up all sorts of combos. I was also able to get my money trending upwards; I'd love to see more mechanics that add variety and keep everything in balance. :)
loved it ! i liked the down mechanics but it was maybe a bit broken ^^ i would have like if the "line" you get vanish and let fall the above tile it would make it even more satisfying and would nerf a bit the down mechanic.
I think this is one of the most original game ideas I've seen for this theme. I gotta be honest, slot machine style games are *not* my thing. But this game's endearing art style, audio, and gameplay kept me around longer than I'd normally be.
1. The graphics were really nice to look at; "inviting" is probably the best word 2. The audio cues really hit that reward center of the brain 3. Being able to manually turn the spinners is really what kept me playing. It's nice to at least feel like you have a little bit of control in the game's outcome
1. There's really no negatives to this game. After a while I decided to spin the wheels until my money ran out just to see what would happen.
This is probably an excellent candidate for a free mobile game with paid extension packs or themes. Even in its game jam state it's extremely polished and engaging. Thank you!
This game is so gosh-darned cute! The sounds are perfect, the visuals are smooth and the gameplay is calm but addicting. Tremendously clean submission. All I could ask for was... more! I don't know. Some sort of progress or vegetable character exchange or whatever. Something long-game. And I only want that because the core was so well done and simple.
I almost went broke the first time not realizing I could freeze or nudge lol, so I restarted.
Pretty cute - I love interesting takes on things like Slots. It reminds me in a way of Luck Be A Landlord, which is also a Slots type game, but with roguelike vibes instead of farming vibes.
I enjoy the feeling of clicking the octopus, who looks cute but feels kind of weird as a spin button because why is this octopus helping me with my gambling addiction and also farming dayjob?
Ultimately I quit playing because I did okay but failed to feel like I had a goal other than scratching gambling itches.
Pretty fun game, takes a little getting used to at first but feels very balanced initially. I guess it needs something to balance for once you get the hang of it since you could go infinite. The graphics and audio were really great!
Really cute gambling game ! I Love the mood ! Art and Sound are so adorable !

This is great, really nice and polished. I'm actually working on a roguelike "slotsbuilder" as my main game right now (https://milkbaggames.itch.io/slots-and-sorcery) so this was right up my alley!
What a fun and addicting little game. The art is super cute and the gameplay really hooked you. I found it quite hard to start with, but once I figured out the importance of using the stars, I think the difficulty level was just right.
Wonderful art and a fun spin on a casino game!
Really cute game! Loved the aesthetic - graphics, sound effects, and music all fit perfectly. Super enjoyable. Great work!
I absolutely love this Ooblets style game!!!
Really cute game! I loved the little farmer, who was obviously very happy to be gambling on his crops. The music and art were both very good, gave me a sort of sokpop vibe. The slots mechanic was fun as well, though it would be nice to have a little more influence on the results. Good stuff!
Adorable art and music style! The slots mechanic was quite fun to play. I like the ability to cash in the stars to adjust or freeze a wheel, which adds a nice strategic component. Great compo entry!
really addicting game! in my first attempt I failed miserably, but when I figured out how to use my tokens wisely I couldn't stop playing. i guess gambling is always a win :D
That was a really unique idea! I felt that it was maybe still a bit too reliant on luck. I did like the graphics a lot!
