Casino Chaos is a game made in 48 hours for the GMTK 2022 Game Jam. The published design can be described as a level-based shooter with the aim being to prevent the loss of money at a casino as much as you can! To do so, you will play as a dice with 6 sides, each corresponding to a different weapon. You can access a new weapon by interacting with the reroll icons around the map which will swap your current weapon for a random new one.  Your job will be to ward off the evils of gambling as they attempt to take your money.  Can you strike a balance between protecting yourself and conserving rerolls?

We had many other ideas that we did not have time to implement, including:

• Melee weapons
• a "+" item generated on the maps which would add a side to your dice. Enables a wider range of weapon reroll choices.
• Unique mechanics for all the themed levels, including:
  • Billiards with rolling ball obstacles
  • Poker with a sectioned map with another element of randomness with what occurs in each section
  • Roulette with a spinning board and balls dropped on the map
• Animations and on-hit effects for enemies, health bars for enemies

KNOWN BUGS:

• Levels do not end when you complete them. You'll have to reload the page, sorry!
• Some enemies' bullets fire in the wrong directions
• Enemies are jittery and don't move properly
• Enemies don't deal contact damage
• Many weapons, enemies, and bullets are unbalanced; for example, some guns have extremely long reload times
• Level 5 has no enemies at all
• Levels 2, 3, and 4 are extremely difficult and drawn out

With this being our 2nd year participating in GMTK, we can say that this was a great experience with many, many improvements. We hope you will enjoy the game as much as we did making it!
