This game is cool and I'm really liking it. I'll probably be buying this
momentarily. For now, some ideas.
Firstly you forgot to include the dll needed to work with NVDA, and I
believe system access, in the installer. For anyone having issues you
can just put it from any other game into the xWheel directory and it
will work.
Also, I do think the interface could work much better. When it's your
turn, I think you should just be able to press enter to spin or just hit
a voul to buy it, and pressing s could let you solve, while pressing the
arrow keys would let you review the puzzle, maybe even replace the blank
spaces with a click sound to speed things up. Pressing tab could show
the scoreboard and puzzle info. Right now, the audio form looks
rather... Weird and it's just slow at times.
Lastly I do think the crowd could react a little more, maybe some booing
when you get a letter wrong, some cheering and things like that for
getting higher values on the wheel and winning big. If you need sound
help I'll gladly give a hand.
Now then... off to buy this thing!
