I quite enjoyed this Blackjack simulator, never did end up completing the achievements as some are hard as hell. Looking forward to any other projects like this one. Heres to hoping we get a little update to this little gem this Christmas.

Thank you for this positive message. It's very motivating to offer you all something new in the future.

The art is good, but the game is nearly impossible to beat with how many rounds you need to win.

I've lucked out with one character, but can not beat the other.  As such, the last character is locked away indefinitely.

You need to balance this a tad better if you want people to play against the third character.

I know I'm not the only person on this page complaining about the difficulty.

Thanks for your feedback!

As a result, I've decided to add difficulty modes to give you extra chances to beat your opponents. Sorry if this has spoiled your gaming experience.

I think it would be a good idea if you had a hint somewhere on how to unlock Rudolph, maybe in the missions menu? Also, great touch in terms of character design by making a red bubblegum bubble represent Rudolph's red nose

Thanks for the feedback! I've taken your advice and added a hint to the mission list.

I'm glad you noticed the gum bubble. It fit in well with the rebellious character I wanted to make compared to the nice image we have of Rudolph the reindeer.

Mrs Claus is a cheat

Oh, you can't beat her? I assure you that the cards are drawn at complete random. I haven't tried since I don't know how, but I'm sure that if you count the cards, the game is extremely easy ๐Ÿ˜…
But if you meant that Mrs. Claus is cheating on Santa Claus, let's say they're in an open relationship... ๐Ÿ™„

No, I sware Mrs. Clauses is cheating and Santa is helping every time the deck is reshuffled  he laughs. There both cheaters 

Ah, I see what you mean now about my earlier comment. I'd certainly say the lack of the player seeming to strip if they lose is a missed opportunity, especially as it could then just speed up and spicen up the game if it was just about straight clothing removal.

I didn't expect a little bit of dialogue though, but it was a nice little thing to see. Nor did I expect to see the animation that reminds me of some Video Strip Poker games back in the day.

I'd still say the biggest weakness is the odd format of having to win a number of rounds before clothing comes off, instead of it just being a straight strip blackjack match, with clothes coming off each round for both sides.

Thanks for the very welcome feedback! When I started this project, I had a problem: how do I make the game not end in 2 minutes? If I do one round, one piece of cloth, the player can literally beat the CPU in 5 rounds if they're good. The solution to this would have been to add more characters, but creating animations is extremely time-consuming. Time I didn't have to get the game out for Christmas. Changing the rules was the only solution to extend the length of the game. It's a strange choice, but one that has an almost justifiable reason. But maybe for next year, I could add a "quick mode" that would use the classic rules and add extra characters.

A common thought process for these kind of things, to be fair! As far as ways to extend the game, your method isn't the worst for it, although I don't think the reasoning behind the rules is something Mrs. Claus brings up... it also doesn't seem clear if the player is actually losing clothes as they lose either, which is always a reasonable reason for a game to end in defeat!

Apk not secure. Play store blocks it

Yes, unfortunately I don't have the means to secure my application, so you'll have to bypass security. When you try to install it, you should see a "more details" link like this one:

Clicking on it should change it to "install anyway". I'm sorry for the inconvenience ๐Ÿ˜ž

Available in 2 days huh... hmm, suppose I'll keep an eye on it. From the UI, there might be a chance this is some proper strip blackjack, with clothing for the player!

I'm not going to lie to you, unfortunately the player is practically invisible from the game, I'm sorry for the disappointment.

Well, that's not unusual, it's just very rare for any strip poker or strip blackjack game to have the player actually have clothes to remove! Like, the player is invisible in Strip Poker Night at the Inventory (SPNATI), but they still have to strip and such.
