Features
The main idea behind this game is pretty simple. You are given a gift and you just need to decide if you refuse it or defuse it. There was not much depth to it as it is literally just a game of gamble.
A major inspiration for this game is Exploding Kittens where you wouldn't know what you'll get but you need to be ready for it. Similar to that game, there is a great ton of randomness in this game which isn't really communicated well to the players. That means they are really coming in blind and with no clue or hints as to whether they should refuse it or defuse it which is a major design flaw that I ought to really fix if I keep working on this.
At the end of the day, this is really just a quick exercise for me to keep flexing those game development muscles and I'm still satisfied with what I can deliver in just a short amount of time with not much resources.
