I appreciate things the other commentators listed. Game is really polished and even though it's just "find a wally", you put inside many additional mechanism (cash, bombs, etc). Only one thing I don't understand: why standard cards gives me mainly +1$, but sometimes I loose 20$.

I'm looking forward to playing it again in a second now I know all the rules. I like the strategy element I like the fact that you don't actually ever lose and it's up to you to quit when the going is good. Just like real gambling. The graphics and sound were good, and the whole thing was polished. The performance got bad after level 40 for me. You can cheat by clicking the cash out button just to pause it and still continue to look for the snowman."},{"author_name":"billrizer","author_uid":"43727","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 12:24pm","epoch":1418559540,"text":"++ for easy to play JS game :)\r\rFun and innovative"},{"author_name":"billrizer","author_uid":"43727","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 12:24pm","epoch":1418559540,"text":"Fun and innovative ++ for using JS and making it easier to play :)"},{"author_name":"janovbyrnisson","author_uid":"43705","time":"Dec 25, 2014 @ 5:09pm","epoch":1419527040,"text":"Cool game, good job! :)"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Dec 28, 2014 @ 3:32pm","epoch":1419780420,"text":"Fun game!
