The Simplicity of Arcade Games

Optimism
A downloadable game for Windows

During the design process of this game I wanted to make something simple as at that point I hadn't programmed in a while. I know that larger projects get more views and because of that I felt that I was falling behind. However, the more I programmed the game the more I realized that its okay to have smaller projects every once in a while, even though it doesn't feel that way. It was really fun trying to figure out a pattern for where the blocks should go or how the ball should fall, or even what it should sound like when playing. So the lesson here is: making any type of game when you're starting out is better than having no games at all.
