High Stakes

brilliant

SHOOT I JUST GOT TO THE FINAL LEVEL THEN LOST ALL 5 ROUNDS I WAS DOING EXTREMELY GOOD WAAHHHH 😭😭😭😭

Wow, this game is... Great <3

It's a little random at first, but here are some tips to tip (pun intended) the scale in your favour:

1. Passing is an option - if you really don't know, where the vampire is, it can be quite usefully to just ditch the try and get certain 3 blood (×multiplier)

2. Square-help has an interesting mechanic, where it always tries to land in a place, where there are the most cards. Why is that usefully? Well... If you have this situation: (X - discovered, O - undiscovered)

OOO

OOX

Then, if the top-right corner is he vampire, the square will show you the top-right square. But if it's ANYTHING other, it will ALWAYS show the left-top square (because there are 4 cards instead of 3). So you can use that to your advantage

3. The number tokens have a strange affinity to set themselves to the exact number that there actually is below it. Now, don't take this for granted (I had a few rounds ruined by this thinking). But I actually won more round by doing it, so I guess it's usefull.

4. Play big - this game geniuely treats you really easily. Losing doesn't hurt as much as winning does give you, so (if you're not at the brink of death), you should take SOME risk. But remember about tip 1 XD.

5. Have fun! C'mon, that's why you play, right ;)

Btw, to the devs, if they read this (don't expect that, but hey - let me say some tips): the game is great, though it lacks some features (fe. Difficulty settings). Also, the next vampires don't feel better, they just feel QUICKER (as they give you blood quicker). In my opinion, it'd be interesting if some vampires would give different row abilities, or there'd be some modifications, because for now the game is pretty repetitive. That being said, I'be been playing it for 2+ hours, and I love it! 

Small edit: I have a 3-win streak, I think I should stop playing this game, as it shows my gambling addiction too well XD

Love what you’ve built!
I’m working on something similar — it’s called TWT Community, a tool that helps people easily create their own communities.
Would be great to explore a possible collaboration!

Very very fun

Also a great example in the breakdown of reason when gambling

Finally beat this game for the first time! By far one of my favorites.

very very fun! didn't read the rules beforehand so struggled at first but loved it once i figued it out.

Is there a download, or is this just a web game?

I lost from 4k because the first card was a vampire every time

Been playing for an hour and I'm hooked. 

(lol, I tried to switch to html markdown, to no avail, lol, convert it with your meat brain)

<summary>possible hint</summary>

I could be wrong, but it seems like the last vampire is most often in rows/columns 

with the best hint tokens. He was *almost* always blocking the square </details>

i'm gonna explode.  My first time with the second enemy they appear in the same exact spot 3 times in a row just to never do it again (-156ml from 4ml)

I’m literally addicted help I can’t stop playing this game! Incredible, good work!

Amazing game that throws your inner gambler to fight your inner mathematician :)

as soon as i realise there was a pass button i completed the game. amazing game!

this game is fun but I havent beaten it fully yet. hopefully I can

I didn't need all that blood anyways.

This is fantastic and is a driving factor in convincing me to pick up some handheld hardware to make a Pico8.

Any plans to port this to Playdate? It would be a perfect fit for that console!

I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME

Losing is a part of the game, lose less, gamble only if can afford to lose again.

Nice game. Never been into gambling games, but at leat now I can understand how they work. It was nice to complete.
