This game has very good execution, but needs some slight polish to really shine.
The Bot increasing their intelligence is a pretty interesting attempt to make the game complex, and I like the implementation of the audio. The robot announcer was a nice surprise, how it would audibly say the game's instructions. A nice afterthought would be adding an option to mute/skip the robot voice for every player that has previously heard the instructions.
A good way to get players immersed long term is to extend the game into multiple rounds after winning, carrying over the previous totals until someone eventually wins. And of course, in those multiple rounds, to have multiple phrases and titles that increase in complexity as time goes on. As of right now it can feel like a drag to win and then be forced to replay from the beginning rather than going on to another round.
On the title screen, it says "Fortune of Wheel", but everyone else reads "Wheel of Fortune", but I though maybe that's an error or a copyright avoidance thing. It is possible to have a slight glitch where you don't spin the wheel on your turn, it skips over your turn and gives it to a bot. But that is rare because every player naturally will spin when it is their turn.
Overall, very well done on capturing the spirit of the original game show.
