Gamba Gamba
A downloadable game for Windows
Warning: This is super duper early in development, so it's very barebones and does not have too much done besides the main gameplay loop. Feel free to leave me some suggestions on what you would like to see :)
In Gamba Gamba, you play roulette using money which doubles as your health. Placing and winning bets will damage the enemy, which when killing them makes them stronger. The enemy can do the same, and once you run out of money, it's game over.
The enemy is the purple square in the bottom right. The number above the enemy is their health, and the number inside the enemy is their level. Their level increases every time they die, and is used to determine their health and damage. Every 5 levels, the enemy will place an extra bet up to a total of 10 bets at the same time. The purple cube/s on the board is their bet.
Controls:
- Use the +/- buttons in the top left to increase/decrease the amount of the current bet by 1, 10, and 100.
- Press the "Bet" button to spawn a bet with the value of the bet amount. You can spawn as many bets as you want.
- Click and drag the bet onto the board to place the bet. You can discard bets by dragging them into the bin in the bottom left. You can also discard all bets by clicking on the bin.
- Press 'S' or 'Down Arrow' to access the Loan Board from the Main Board, and 'W' or 'Up Arrow' to get back.
- Press space the spin the roulette wheel and confirm all your placed bets. You cannot spin the wheel if:
- Your total betting amount is more than your total amount of money.
- You have not placed any bets.
The return on bets are as follows:
- Single Number - 35 times bet. e.g. 1 --> 35 profit
- Four Numbers - 8 times bet. e.g. 1 --> 8 profit
- Group of 12 - 2 times bet. e.g. 1 --> 2 profit
- Red / Black - 1 times bet. e.g. 1 --> 1 profit
Your damage is calculated as the profit you make for each winning bet.
In the future, I would want to add different types of enemies with different types of bets. I would also want to look at adding different types of bets for the player, such as one that doesn't do damage but gets more money and vice versa, one that blocks an enemy's bet, one that multiplies damage/money earned of other winning bets, etc. I would want a store to house the new bets and have another risk vs. reward of using money to gain an advantage at the cost of less money for health and attacks, and a map that the player traverses through to encounter enemies, shops, random events and more.
