having a glitch where when the moment i run the game it just starts flashing like crazy/oscillates between a frame of the game and a blank screen and is unplayable
Minor bug. If I get 2 pair and Jacks or Better has the same payout, it lists Jacks or better.
For the ability that lets you change a card color once a round, it should work after you get your 2nd draw of cards. It's not very good if you end the round immediately after the second cards are dealt
We'll fix that in the next update thanks for letting us know!
I have no idea where the bet button is, nor do I know if it's a button on my keyboard that I press.
Its the button to the left of the draw button. You cant change bet though until you get an upgrade to do so. We'll try to make that clearer, thanks for the feedback!
Good game but if you try to change the suit of the wild card, it turns invisible
That's a solid bug catch thanks for letting us know!
The concept is good.
The game become more interesting as you specialized in one of the 3 skill paths.
I hope to see more in your future updates :)
Some QoL suggestions :
Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! We plan on addressing those issues so definitely come back for the next update!
