Reviews
I made this game, of course I got it for free. At this point (it's been about 2 months now with concept and testing) the best thing about The Gamble Maze is wandering the maze, that's the real gamble: just getting to an empty room. I like being able to enter my name, or another name, every time I play, this part is important, but also: if I'm in a rush I can just skip name entry too. I can role-play and make the world bigger this way. I like that the doors are locked and force me to wager to proceed. I like that that loading screens are also doors. I like that the semi-uniform rooms, randomized starting locations and redistributions within The Maze is enough to make me think about what I am doing every time I play The Gamble Maze(tm). Not knowing exactly where I am, but being able to figure it out, keeps each playthrough fresh and feisty even after I've memorized The Maze's layout, kind've makes me feel smart too. I like having to work for my Victory, it makes it more real. I like the 8-bit art style, it's so overly simple that it encourages my imagination to start working. I like how there's that disembodied voice sassing me and encouraging me to wager larger, not smaller; it's kind've funny. I like how I have choices and options, even if I am trapped in a room not knowing where I am. I like that moving from room-to-room is celebrated as a major achievement, and it stays celebrated. I like that I can keep playing if I over-wager by betting something intangible about myself for money. I like the music, it's low, tight-looped, and dark, with muffled notes of a slot-machine win, it reminds me that I *CAN* be a Winner. I like that there is a strategy event where I can protect my cumulative winnings by folding my wagers and exit The Maze, or I can choose to redistribute to a random room location for a better placement for easier navigating. It gives me a chance to reorient and regroup, if lost, stressed, excited, or over-whelmed. I'm at the point where I even like losing, helps me to know that everything is working correctly. I like that The Gamble Maze(tm) is small and simple enough to just keep on my desktop taskbar for when I need a break from doing other work stuff like writing or video editing. I like that I like fighting The Monster. I like the precursor games collection included in the copy, some of them are independently fun, I like games 3, 4 and 8, personally. I like that I made it. :)
