just played it again!God!i've played almost 200 games and your controls and feeling of character moving in the room,is just beyond excellent!Bravo again!
Pretty smooth, but the audio is SUPER loud on my computer. Also, a few times I got a bug where the character would get stick against the left side of the screen, or otherwise stuck as if left or right was held down.
Really fun little shooting game! I loved the screenshake and the fact I explode if I die even though I'm a human dude. Really cool concept, here's to more LD games with slot machines :D
Was a bit frustrating and I seemed to get a lot of repeated rolls (one run I kept getting weapon upgrades, another I kept getting three hearts) but other than that it was great.
As usual the art was an absolute joy to look at! The simple gameplay mixed with the wonderful visuals made the whole thing shine; the audio fit with the rest of the game well. The slot machine at the top really helped to add to the game's character, it all felt like that sort of Futurama future.
Nice work.

The gambling machine mechanic was quite interesting. One critique I have is, despite the fact that the bazooka/rocket launcher is the last weapon in the game, it actually sucks.
Great little action game, reminds me a bit of the Vlambeer style of gameplay, although I'm not sure I like the idea that you have to start over each time you die.
Nice arena shooter, the graphics and music are great. A little bit more variety with enemies/obstacles would have been nice. I was really high in debt after dying stupidly to spikes twice, but thanks to a lucky streak I still managed to win.
Great music, and this submission is a very impressive thing for 24 hours of work. It looks and plays great.
I definitely had a hard time with this until I fullscreen'd to switch away from the self-murdering rocket launcher, and having the win state of the game hinging on a virtual slot machine is a bit rough on the player. It's a very cool premise and works well for a jam, though! Everything feels great. Nice kickback on the weapons, for both the player movement and screen shake. Well done!
wow awesome entry, this is almost as good as the games made by vlambeer! I really loved the screen shakes and the different kind of weapons. Minigun being my favourite. On a side note you should consider changing the level design because if you stick to one of the corners with a minigun its almost impossible to lose the game. Overall great entry its a shame you didnt put music in your marking criteria, the soundtrack was great :)

I really loved the sound of the game.
The system was easy to trick by keeping shooting at the slot machine.
along with other beautiful Ludum Dare games.
Cheers! :)
