The storyline is amazing, and all the artwork is so polished! Great work!

A fun minigame arcade where I get to be the bad guy and take money from children, hard to beat that. Cool story idea and a great take on the gamejam theme!

I played your game here:

I'm impressed you somehow did three games for this jam. I liked the concept a lot. Sincere congratulations!

Really interesting idea!

I like the storytelling of this game!

This was fun! Love how simple it all is but still polished. I loved the sounds and the music, also the plot is fun.

I like that you actually made 3 games instead of committing to just one :D. Fits the theme great and the art looks nice. Good job guys!

Lots of fun!

Love the minigame style of this game! The art and sounds give the game a lot of character. Very interesting twists on all of the games!

Love the premise of the game and it's super impressive that you basically did 3 games in 48 hours, but the controls feel a little clunky (especially for the asteroid game) and the pacman AI just gets stuck in the corner really quickly.

Awesome idea though :)

Developer

Yeah, I saw that my pacman AI needed a lot of work but I really couldn't afford to spend too much time on it due to the time limit /: Sorry you found the controls clunky but thank you for the praise!

Submitted

Very interesting subject matter, especially Pac-Man.

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Neat idea and art style but the controls felt a bit clunky. Nice work for 48 hours though!

Developer

Sorry you found the controls clunky, we didn't really have time to polish due to the intense time limit! 

Submitted

All good, totally understandable! Its way more polished than my game so good work!

All three are really good clever ideas. Opening story and how it connects in the game UIs are really cool.

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much! We tried to make the game consistent with the arcade vibe, glad you thought it worked!

Submitted(+1)

Well, glad I didn't go with my ideas of pacman/asteroids/pong cuz you just did all three and really nicely! I also liked the "story" behind while we're doing all this, I wish there was some overall progress for completing each of the games.

Developer

Haha, the games themselves may have been a little unoriginal, I'm pretty sure there are about a million "classic arcade game but with a twist" games here. Glad you liked the story, thanks!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the concept, and it's good the main character basically have a motivation (or lack of) to bully the kids lol
I like the idea of hijacking the games, but maybe it would be better to focus on one game so the hijack mechanics could be polished a little more. Pac man was by far my favorite. Also, the visuals are really cool and fit the theme.

Developer(+1)

Haha, glad the story made you laugh. I'm sure you're right that the mechanics would've been more polished if we just went with one game but then I think it wouldn't be the game we set out to make.

Thank you for the high praise!

Such an amazing visual representation!

The gameplay was also quite fun but it felt a bit lacking cause you didn't have a real goal or so. But incorporating this mechanic into maybe a manager game where you build up your own arcade could be super fun.

It's a really nice game you created in those 48h. Keep it up!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked the story and the art. Incorporating these mechanics into a manager game is a great idea!

atisfying movement

The AI is bad but that is to be expected in 48 hours. The game otherwise is really good.
