Cool game
GAMBLING GAMBLING GAMBLINGGG
looks like a beautiful game boy title. maybe too pretty for game boy?
Great game!
If only the dice liked me as much as I liked playing 😅
Really cool visuals and music!
This was so much fun! We loved playing it on stream!
Really fun concept. I loved the aesthetics. The music was awesome. This game would work really well in a co op mode but overall, really good.
This is a fun unique game that I had fun with, but it did get static quickly. I got the game rules, but that is only because I had to read them on the webpage myself. what if I downloaded it? Would it give me a prompt then? I would like to see some objective to play for, whether it be most money before a loss, a leaderboard UI, or most times rolled before a loss. Overall, this game's art style is simplistic but yet very effective.
P.S. - I cleared 2 rows at once, that was pretty cool. And rolling 5, 2's was cool.
Great game, and it was really well polished. The only change I would recommend is to make it all arrow keys. Make the reroll up and drop down.
Really nice presentation, but I wish the board reset/game over distinction was clearer.
To the point and easy to pick up, but I would like it if the new set automatically came in instead of having to initiate it with the reroll for pacing.
This is really cool! The animations and movements for everything are nice to look at. The mechanics are simple to understand. I think the reroll and drop buttons should maybe be moved away from each other, though. I rerolled when I wanted to drop so many times 😂. Other than that, though, it's fantastic!
Very polished, looks and feels good to play. Could use a little more explanation of some mechanics, but pretty good for a gamejam game.
Cool game and very well made. Adding a brief explanation of the rules in the game itself on this page could make it a bit more obvious how to play.
I had terrible rng lol! Great gambling game! Good concept and simple controls!
I like the candy crush vibe, i like the touch of the 7evens in there.
Great concept and very polished !
Muy buen juego, si señor
Awesome! The dice movement is great.
Whata banger!
It looks very poslished nice presentation and music, but I must be dumb what’s the gameplay objective? Get 4 in a row? It doesn’t explain in game or on the page. Also I think it would play better if you could swap any 2 adjacent dice before dropping (like in Rampage Puzzle Attack), so then the player has a bit more fine grained control?
i think it's supposed to be like tetris.
Very clever gameplay!
Love the low res, low colour count style, an absolutely gorgeous little entry. and a fun challenge too. Really nice idea for a game, great job.
This is mega polished!! I like the concept on its own, but the execution is really top notch. The soundtrack is stellar too. <3
this just feels so good to play.
really pretty! i was re-rolling like a monkey in a reward chamber. had a hard time quickly spotting the numbers i needed to match.
these pixels are absolutely charming
Oh.. Dude... I'm only a minute in and this is fantastic. The art, the music, the juice. Amazing work.
