Unlike your previous game, I'm unsure how the paid version for this title works. Does Patreon have its own separate download executable for a one-time purchase, or is it something complicated where a Patreon subscriber account has to be connected to Itch (forever locking people into a sunk cost fallacy that they have to continue supporting every month if they want to play their game)?

Regardless, due to ideology, I won't purchase any media through Patreon; I will purchase it if it's for sale on Itch.

After unlocking everything in the normal f2p mode, I have to agree with the first commentator and say this game doesn't feel as 'fun' as the previous catgirl game. The gameplay loop of a randomised version of Nim doesn't feel fun; this is probably compounded by the background music you selected this time, which isn't the kind of music that feels suitable for gambling against a slot machine-esque one-armed bandit. I noticed this game isn't complete (i.e. voice acting), though I'm unsure if voice acting alone will improve my impression. Hopefully your next title strikes a better chord with me.

There is a guide on how to unlock the supporter gallery on Patreon. It can be unlocked in any version of the game and you don’t need to be an active subscriber or link your account. Unfortunately I can’t release paid games on itch right now, as they are all unlisted so no one would find the game. That’s why I decided to make the game completely free except for the bonus gallery which is only available for people who want to support me on Patreon.

I agree that too much randomness is not that fun and I won’t create another game that has gambling as a main mechanic. But instead of completely reworking this game, I’ll finish it and then focus on a new project and keep this in mind.

Thanks (again) for your constructive criticism and honest feedback. This helps me create better games and I really appreciate it!
