Seven-Day Bargain

Монетки звонко подпрыгивают, залипательно. Как будто, глубины геймплея не хватает. Прошёл игру, просто на каждом шаге выбирая самую большую комбинацию и самый большой приз. Как вариант, можно было привязать монеты к кошельку игрока, чтобы при бросании они тратились между раундами. Тогда был бы смысл рисковать, скажем, бросить бронзовые, но иметь шанс проиграть, или бросить 3 разных, но на следующий раунд урезать себе число золотых монет. А так как будто вообще нет решений.

I liked the sounds of the coins and text

t4ran 2025-10-06 17:17

Cool game, I already managed to lose twice хD

Neat compact Balatro-inspired game. Looks like it needs some other additional way to multiply the score, apart from coin combinations, but obviously it's had to fit into 48 hours.

Игра очень цепляет своим геймплеем и атмосферой, которую отлично задают визуал, звуки и интро. После каждого проигрыша хочется попробовать снова. Я так пришёл в себя только после 5 попытки пройти 7-ой день. Хотя меня преследует ощущение, что чего-то не хватает или всё играется слишком просто, мне всё равно нравится. В общем и целом, получилось очень достойно.

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad that you had fun :D

Very cool graphics / audio / mood! Really brought me back to the old times! The game was pretty intriguing and I admit I played a couple of rounds (I was more addicted than I'd like to admit). Game was responsive, the sound effect were CRUNCHY as hell, and even though I.. don't think there's a lot of skill involved (it's really just luck? Correct me if I'm wrong!) I just couldn't help but play more. Well done!

Wow, this is awesome. The only issue I had was before I made it go full screen it was kind of random as to whether or not the 'play' button would register my click. Honestly hope you'll keep working on it, I'd buy a maxed out version of this in a heartbeat. Brilliant work!

saltyfeesh 2025-10-07 04:15

Love the sound SFX. Really cool game idea. Will be great to see more combos between coins.

coatline 2025-10-07 04:41

Wonderful mood. Even though I thought that the gameplay was really simple, it was engaging simply due to the atmosphere in which it took place! Good job!

megurt 2025-10-07 08:29

@kepsert Thank you for your feedback!

Yeah, it's true, the game relies more on luck than skill. But at the same time, with its slot-machine-like coin mechanics, it has that addictive effect.

I wanted to add more features like jokers from balatro but that would be too much content for 48 hours. So I focused on polishing over deep gameplay mech

megurt 2025-10-07 08:32

@threeli >-< yes this bug is freaking me out... Thank you for your feedback! I'll think about release it on steam :D

megurt 2025-10-07 08:33

@saltyfeesh Thank you!

Yeah, it would be better, but as I said, I decided to focus on polishing

Because initially I wanted to add jokers or coin abilities but it's too much for 48h

megurt 2025-10-07 08:35

@coatline Thank you! The main idea -> easy to learn - hard to master, but need to add more depth to gameplay as jokers and abilities

melomaner 2025-10-07 14:07

Pretty cool game — I even got a bit hooked! It’s not very clear how the theme ties in, but otherwise it’s interesting.

megurt 2025-10-07 14:16

@melomaner Thank you for your feedback! Glad you got hooked :D

Because the demon is a collector, debt collector

And the metaphor of devils bargain

recursor 2025-10-07 15:58

The gameplay was simple, but when paired with the art and sounds of the game, it becomes a fun game loop to flip coins to live another day. It reminds me of a very recently released game on Steam called "Unfair Flips," which has a similar mechanic and also couples it with a great presentation to make something that is currently selling on Steam.

megurt 2025-10-07 16:15

@recursor Thank you for such lovely feedback <3

Yeah, I've seen this game before but haven't played yet. Therefore I thought about Unfair Flips when did brainstorm during jam start

khamekaze 2025-10-07 17:04

Such a simple concept executed incredibly well. I can envision it getting expanded into something like coin-flipping your way through the circles of hell and picking up coins with different curses or blessings along the way that deepens the complexity. Kind of like a deck-building roguelike but with coins (Evil Balatro?). Anyway, superb entry!

ottobroccoli 2025-10-07 17:28

Очень хорошо, сначала думал что геймплей аля балатро будет сложно выжать из орел-решко, но оказался не прав) сюда бы еще джокеров )) Это топ

megurt 2025-10-07 17:35

@ottobroccoli Во-во! Джокеров очень хотел добавить, но понял что это в компо не войдет, ибо дофига еще работы

Но да, поработал очень чтобы игра ощущалась хорошо

megurt 2025-10-07 17:41

@khamekaze :open_mouth:

Can I hire you as creative director? haha

Thank you for your feedback! :heart:

yatsu 2025-10-07 19:17

У игры хорошая атмосфера. Очень хороший аудио дизайн и эффекты. Но как буд-то слабый биллдострой и геймплейный выбор. Но мне всё равно понравилось в это играть

megurt 2025-10-07 20:08

@yatsu Спасибо за фидбек! Да, я согласен и многие это тоже подмечают, хотелось бы абилочки монетам и джокеров

flinge 2025-10-07 22:17

I think this could turn into something really cool if you had more time. I really like the coin sound and the overall visual approach. I’ve seen your posts about the 2.5D style — great work! I’d love to try something like that myself one day. As for the gameplay, I just felt it could use a bit more progression beyond collecting new coins. Maybe some kind of fudge coins or jokers would add that extra layer! msedge_jqAqW0He07.png

surfacedfox 2025-10-09 10:42

Absolutely wonderful aesthetics, some music would be nice, but the sound design on its own is quite wonderful. It felt like a tense Balatro, and I was really engaged all the way through.

yvanor 2025-10-11 14:10

Fun game ! I think I tried to like 10 times but I didn't succeed :cry:. I had two runs where I just rush all the days but lost on the 7th.

Anyway very good game, I like the ambiance and everything feel so polished. I'm not sure of what the coffee option do but it seems that everything was going better with it, but maybe a placebo effect :laughing:

Anyway, very good game, looks to me as a solid candidate for the top !

megurt 2025-10-12 20:38

@yvanor Thank you for warm feedback! <3

Coffee gain 3 gold coins. It was interesting to test how this approach works in the game :D

grid96 2025-10-17 22:52

Very polished and unique graphics, loved the style of it! Just wish there would have been an incentive to get worse coins, since it seemed to be best just taking gold and silver for a mix of 3 or 3 gold/silver. But I also chose the coffee so I guess I know now where all my gold came from xD

megurt 2025-10-20 21:37

@grid96 Thank for your feedback :>

I think ill some more content for post-jam version -jockers, new coins and etc when will have some free time

alchemic 2025-10-24 01:37

I really love the atmosphere and artwork here, but the gameplay felt a little shallow. Would love to see a post-jam version with more content!
