Keep up the good work!
It was simple but strangely compelling. Yolo was a nice touch, although the chance of winning on a given spin was low enough that I was hesitant to use it a lot.
If I could change one thing I would increase the size -- of both the game overall, but especially of the font size of my money. It was small it was in my browser, and I had to use the magnifying glass app to get it to a comfortable size: https://imgur.com/MVpFetb
The feel was good - the sounds were enjoyable, and the wheel spinning looked nice and although it felt slow at first I got used to it and I think that waiting was part of why it felt a bit compulsive after a while.
Nice job!
@pkenney Amazing comment, when I started building this I modeled the reels after a real famous slot machine called Larry Lobster. Which has two versions a 85% payout and a 92% (I think). Either way the reels were very tuned. Then I just played around with the gamification features, sound, and tweaked the payouts. It was a fun project, but I also got plenty of sleep and family time during this compo which I enjoyed. Thanks for playing!
Good job :slight_smile:
