Flip Fox: A Con Game
Flip Fox
Rig a game of chance. Decide how the coin falls. Don't get caught cheating.
This is a con game.
You control the coin. Decide how it lands. Heads, tails, or truly random? It's up to you. Rig the game in your favor, but be careful — The Fox isn't fond of cheating. Try to make as much cash as you can, but don't be too greedy, or you'll get shot.
Will you reach the end of the game alive? Or will your trickery get you killed?
Watch The Fox.
The Fox doesn't like a trickster. Pay attention to his stress and his remarks. The more you tip the odds in your favor, the angrier he'll get. Keep The Fox calm while bagging as much of his cash as you can.
The current highest score is $56 (alive):

Very addicting game to try to highscore - the cheating detection seems pretty profound - but the fox does seem to have a bias in what unlikely events make it more suspicious (having multiple of the same face in a row for three or more rolls makes it *really* suspicious for some reason - and not just because it plays the text prompt calling it out). Also, the luck option does not seem to decrease the fox's stress levels like the in-game tip says (though it makes more sense this way i think). And also also the amount of money the fox bets on the "wow i have an (x) win streak!" seems to vary DRASTICALLY, whereas the regular bets range from 2-5, the 3 winstreak bets range from 6 (going net 0 after 3 perfect rolls of 2 dollar bets to artificially lose) to 17-ish (getting between 2 to 11 net positive of money depending on what rolls you have to artificially lose to get the fox to that win streak)
The sound design is also pretty satisfying - the ambience in the back creates a really cool atmosphere along with the dim lighting, and the card flipping and coin flipping sounds are very fitting and add a lot immersion.
My highscore is 57 (death) and 46 (alive)
Thanks so much for the detailed review! Lots of the values for the AI weren’t tested enough to be tweaked the best. The luck decreases the foxes suspicion by a small, fixed amount, but if something else increases it, it will likely just be increased (by a smaller amount than usual). Since the bets are the most random thing in the game I kind of relied on those to force you to strategize (maybe a bad idea).
So glad you liked the sounds, and nice scores! Thanks for playing!
got to 40, great game :D
Nice score, thanks!
wow I really enjoyed this!! so atmospheric and a really cool concept to try and con the fox -- but you're really just controlling the impression of chance like a coin flip anyway haha. the luck option is such a compelling add!! so much fun replay value packed in a really clean experience :D great job!!!
Glad you enjoyed! I keep coming back to play it myself.
fun and entertaining game, definetely needs more gameplay tricks :D
