Pocket Playfest: An Indie Celebration 2023 Winter Edition

In a recent hands-on exclusive experience this past weekend, I had the privilege of testing a handful of titles on TapTap's experimental cloud gaming service, setting the stage for this 16-day event where indie game developers show-off their creations exclusively on the TapTap mobile platform — fully playable PC games without the need for an actual PC, Android/iOS version, or the need to download the games and install them. Granted, you’d need to have a reliable internet service to be able to stream these games, and preferably are located in US and Canada for consistent play and latency, at least for now.

Your heart is somehow strapped to a Pinball-Slot Machine Hybrid possessed by a Devil, and you must keep playing the game, or the devil will kill you. Devil Slot Machine is a mix of pinball, rogue-lite, and casino gambling gameplay; and it's one of the entries on TapTap's Pocket Playfest 2023 Winter Edition.

Demons rush to fall down the playfield , bouncing around towers Pinball style, and you have to strategically upgrade the towers along the way and shoot cards upwards to stop them from falling. For every demon that passes through, you lose one Health.

Health is everything, it is your currency too; used for upgrades, tower placement, and rerolls. There are resource management aspects as well, as you’d have to balance your HP over buying upgrades and placing towers across the Playfield. You have a character on the bottom of the playfield shooting cards upwards, in the hopes of helping to stop the onslaught of falling demons.

Honestly, the concept sounds interesting. but currently the available Demo for upcoming game doesn't quite cut it yet. The Demo's tutorial does a poor job of explaining mechanics, the pacing is horrendously slow, and the game is simply poorly balanced
