Three games in one is pretty impressive for such a short jam time! All the games play quite nicely. I know next to nothing about the Atari 7800, but these definitely seem within the limitations of the console, though I do think the mouse control takes away from the authentic retro feel for me. While buttons may have made the controls a bit more clumsy, they also would have made it feel more authentic. I do unfortunately think the games are a bit too simple and unoriginal, it would be nice to see some new and unique ideas at play, but great job in what you've accomplished here.

Hello xenological. I agree with you. I made 3 little casual games without anything really innovative in their gameplay. At first I did something using a Low Level 2d GameEngine without any dependencies in pure C++. Usually I develop my projects under Unity (take a look at my dashboard) which is more interesting, but for the RetroGrade Jam, I said to myself that it could be interesting to create a vintage engine like 40 years ago. Technically I am proud of what I did, but it's true - the games are not relevant. I saw this event like a Code jam. Thank you for your feedback ++
