Nice mix of story and shoot-em-ups, the theme worked well in having both the different characters leave and the arcade getting more difficult. Stage 3 really got to me though because I couldn't tell I was being shot at at first. Interesting little game with good story-telling and music!

AIM SHOOT KILLHonestly, I have no clue what the story is about. Clearly, I am dumb.
Now, excluding my lacking sapien in homosapien, the game was good. It had a story to tell, and it told it directly.
Each character was interesting and, although it was a bit tedious to interact with them all, the number of characters always decreased so it is all good. However, the random bits of dialog sprinkled everywhere really helped the game greatly. Dialog when you die, dialog when the game starts, etc. Little details like that really can make the game more dynamic, and I appreciate it.
I don’t really have many suggestions. I will say that, in the first room, at the top-middle, behind the tree, you can walk out of bounds. It was so easy, I first thought that was a hidden ending.
Also, You should probably make the bullets a bit more visible. Either bigger, have more usage of black and white together in design, or make them animated. Having some visual indication which enemy is which would also be good.

Everything Is NothingVery cool story! Does it deal with addiction to something? Because I felt that the arcade games were something you end up losing yourself and people around you. Well done.

CursedCultyour game is good, i enjoy playing it, i think it more good if you add other arcade game not only space shooter and connected lives in arcade game to how many character still present

From Zero To NothingReally touching story, another game that would really benefit from a "writing" rating.
Loved how the power of our ship was connected to the number of character still present, dialogues were efficient at conveying personnality without being obnoxiously long. Really nice balancing act. It almost felt like a shorter Bokurano.
The game itself was pretty simplistic but that's to be expected with such an emphasis on the dialogues parts. Solide entry

Pure SpiteThank you! We were really trying to get all the characters personalities through while not making it a slog to read everything so I'm glad we succeeded! :D
A few things we didn't get in was we wanted to have an Arcade option after you clear it, if you just wanted to play the mini game, as well as some audio, like footsteps and all the level background ambiences. As well as a little credits cutscene at the end. But we are planning on updating it with all that once voting ends!
Also thinking about making it into a full (Though still short) game! With a lot more mechs for the mini game to make it more interesting, some interactables around the world for extra lore, and new areas and cutscenes to explore!
