Hey Good Luck Connector is a free game that combines timing and chance. The player must complete each level within a tight time limit. The twist is that it might be impossible to do so. Whether or not a round can be completed is down to chance and skill.

A casual look at this game suggests that it's similar to slot machine titles like Cash Lines The Fruit Machine or Rocky Horror The Fruit Machine. However, this is misleading, as the gameplay really has little in common with these titles.

Not a typical slot machine

Hey Good Luck Connector uses the aesthetic of a slot machine and features a grid of symbols that will be familiar to anyone who's played a slot game. These come in three categories: playing card rankings (J, Q, K, 10, A), fruit, and symbols depicting jewels or gold. However, the gameplay turns out to be very different.

Fill the bucket

Instead of spinning reels, the game asks you to drag symbols into a virtual bucket. Each round will accept only a specific type of symbol (for example, only playing card symbols or "gold" symbols). You have a time limit of ten seconds to fill the bucket. It's still a game of chance, as there might not be enough on-screen symbols.

Soons gets repetitive

There is very little variety to Hey Good Luck Connector. All rounds are essentially the same. Once the player has grasped the basic mechanics, determining if they win or lose will be down largely to whether or not it is possible to clear that particular level.

An unusual game of chance

Hey Good Luck Connector is certainly an unusual game, and it may provide some free amusement for a short while. The slot machine aesthetics are fairly polished, but the luck-based gameplay is lacking in any real depth.
