Buccshot Roulette by Sima :3

Puzzle Fun

buccshot

A fan-made text-based recreation of Buckshot Roulette for CC: Tweaked.

It is recommended you have a speaker on for the music, but the game is fine without it.

Items

Item	Effect
Beer	Eject the current shell without firing
Handcuffs	Skip the opponent's next turn
Magnifying Glass	Peek at the current shell (live or blank)
Phone	Reveal a random future shell position
Handsaw	Next live shot deals double damage
Cigarettes	Heal 1 HP
Adrenaline	Steal a random item from the opponent
Inverter	Flip the current shell type between live and blank

The game spans 3 rounds with increasing health and item count after each round. The Dealer uses similar AI to the original game.

Credits

Original game Buckshot Roulette developed by Mike Klubnika

It's a great concept, but I think it lacks graphics, and I don't really see where it fits the theme...

Some items sadly don't work for me and interface feel a little clunkly.

As far as game remakes go, Buccshot Roulette was decent. Text-based, sure, but everything was still understandable and easy enough to follow. Unfortunately, the game threw a few different errors for me while testing, along with the cursor going off screen when selecting items (so I could not see what I was selecting), so I have docked some marks there. As well, I am of the philosophy that remakes are not particularly 'creative' unless significant changes have been made to make it your own.

I like the idea but i woulnt call it a board game really, i like that you looked at the actual original sources to make it similar to to the original game, my only issue is that i sometimes found the UI a bit hard to follow, although i find it cool that it could be done in a terminal-game like way similar to adventure.lua

This is actually quite a fun game! I do think it is a bit lacking on the visuals though.
