Haha, what a great game idea!
(It reminds me a bit of my childhood, playing Olympia 2004 with my friends on the PS2, button-mashing through every minigame xDDD)
Man, even after playing two full runs I still havent grasped all the systems/mechanics 100%, but I already love how simple—and yet how complex—the game can be at the same time. (I love that the game isnt “figured out” after just one run)
I really enjoyed the dilemma of going for first place for bonus gold versus aiming for a specific placement for the bonus objective, which is sometimes a lot harder than simply getting first. And once you combine that with the betting, it gets complicated pretty quickly.
Really nicely executed!
My only suggestions for the future:
- A training mode for each minigame
- More minigames
- Better explanations/tooltips for what the items and stars mean/do
(I didn’t really understand what the items/stars do → I basically played as if the item shop didntt exist)
PS: I love the Art of Eris and Plutos
