Hi!
Me and 3 of my friends gathered around to participate in this gamejam. This is actually our first Ludum Dare gamejam. We decided to make a russian roulette kind of party game as the subject of this event is "Your life is currency". The game will be launched on android devices (with +5.0 android). In case you wanted to try it out it will be available to download .apk file. PC version will be android port if trying it out before you install it on your phone seems more convicing. Each player (from 2 to 8) gets his own revolver and uses it to bet his life. The one who stays alive and is the richest one is the winner. It is your life, that you use as money and well... life!
We created all the graphics including 2d art and 3d models. For music and sound effects, we used gamesounds.xyz

There isn't too much to critique gameplay-wise since it's so simple and achieves what it set out to do. Instead, I'll give feedback on presentation. I've included a screenshot with this comment. There's some weird stuff happening in the Windows port to text and object placement. It's hard to read the text behind the gun and the bet button. For reference, my computer's resolution is 1680x1050.
As for the problem, it appears for the fact that the subtitles are scaled in the 1920x1080 base resolution. Therefore, we apologize for the situation, but as we write in the description, the PC version is just a fast port from Android so that you can see the game before deciding to download it on the phone, because the biggest emotion is when we pull the trigger pointing the phone in the head.
Not really much I can say about it, it was entertaining for a few seconds which is exactly what these games should be. The animations and controls were satisfying.
I suppose the only criticism I could offer, and it is nitpicking, is I didn't understand the betting at first. It took me a few seconds to figure out I couldn't bet more than $100 the first round because that was all I had. Not sure I could say how to make it better and it really doesn't need to be probably, I'm just dumb.
The betting system especially in each round as a basic bet sets the entire pocket of the player, we did it because during a few test games we usually wanted to bet everything, but we did not want to take the opportunity to play more carefully with other players.
Once again, thank you for feedback, after reading your opinion, we decided to look at our PC version for a while and improve the UI enough not to interfere with the game. We hope that now you will have no problems to enjoy the game.

Thanks for feedback, we are pleased that you like our game. Simplicity and playability were just our assumptions
Our assumption was that life would become a currency, for it is impossible to play without it. As long as you live your life is a coin through which you can continue playing, but when you are dead, not enough that you lose a coin through which you took part in the game, then what you have earned so far is worth nothing.
It suits the phone :iphone: platform perfectly :D
will probably try it as a drinking game xD
nice idea for that ludum dare theme
Unfortinally I'm cant play with a friend now)
Could be funny in a round of people betting real money :D
Thanks for feedback.
Game crashed once on windows but then it was ok so i guess it wasnt a big issue.
Good job finishing it!
I couldn't fully enjoy it alone, but given that it is a multiplayer game, it'd be a great alternative to a Rock Paper Scissors~
