Very impressive art, love the unique style! Good music choices. Fun game that has potential. Nice one!

Nice cozy game!

By the end of the game, it gets a bit too repetitive; perhaps some random events could diversify the gameplay more. My hand also started to hurt after using the lever so much (I got addicted to gambling!).

Good game and very fun.

Developer

Appreciate that! Yea we thought so too, but sadly there was no time left :<

Game was super fun!! 

  • Art was super cute, attractive and cohesive. I like the chalk / pencil look. Even your game menus looked great!
  • The music matched the game really well and never got tiring despite being on repeat for a while.
  • I like that the slot machine coin slot collider is large enough to allow stacking of multiple coins around it, so that you can spam the lever.
  • Great additions with the "power-ups"

Minor Feedback

It would be cool if in the tutorial section you showed how to feed biscuit (at least showing to click on the meat). I kid you not, at some point in the game I was rich AF, but my doggie was dying cuz I didn't know how to feed him and thought it was missing from the game.

Played to feed my dog, left with a gambling addiction.

My doggo dying right before I realized he had food. Also would be cool if you could drag the meat to Biscuit's mouth, kind of like how you drag the coins :D

Anyway - Super fun. Excellent work! 

Please check out our game if you get the chance 💙

Developer

Thank you so much for such a throughout review!

 The "tutorial" is for sure the part that lacks the most, i agree. Its always the part we do last and it shows ahahah. So just to clarify, you can randomly get a steak from rolling once you have it you can replenish a bit of biscuit's hunger by dragging it onto her, idk if thats what you meant. Also you can feed her coins aswell, just a little easter egg, doesnt do anything, just thought it was funny.

So thanks once again for finishing the game especially! I'll make sure to check your game out when i get to chance :)

Hahaha, that is hilarious that you can feed her coins. Just tried it. 

And yep, that's what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.

And no worries. At least your game has a tutorial. We had to stuff ours onto our page because we ran out of time, lol.

Anyways. Awesome game. Good luck with the jam!

Really loved the art and music! I feel like the game could have benefitted from some more polish and more features in general, but I still played for a good bit, and enjoyed it, the upgrades like adding an extra slot were also a very nice addition, and in general the game has a cool usage for the theme!
