Split or Steal
Seeing as the dev likes to ask for reviews so much, here it is.
Summary
A prisoners dilemma game, with features to help you earn more money, unlock better cosmetics and achieve higher ranks on the leaderboards and tailor your play style. The game itself, good concept and great ideas. Had a lot of potential but it was just poorly executed. The community made the game, not the game made the community.
Pros
-
Interesting take of a game on the prisoner’s dilemma

Great community

Split or steal. For as long as you play this game, you won’t be forgetting the dilemma and the effect it has on people any time soon. Except now, we aren’t “prisoners” confined to a one-time choice. So make use of that information to breed trust, rather than sowing mistrust. You have 2 minutes in high stakes to show that you’re not like everyone else. That you’re willing to sit down and talk if the other person is willing to. And then you talk. Have you ever felt the satisfaction of reassuring a new player that’s maybe a little bit paranoid, that some people really can be trusted? If you instantly split every round turning into a bot every hour for every play session, you will never know how it feels. If you only steal in high stakes, you will never know how it feels. To make someone’s day brighter. To make someone feel a positive emotion. The cash is virtual, the people are not. This is not an inherently competitive game, so don’t treat it like one where someone has to lose, or you need to try your hardest to win. Because if you do that then what makes this game great is diminished, until more and more people do it, and the appeal disappears.
