Awesome concept!! Honestly a little spooky from the get go, which is not a bad thing. And something you could lean more into in the future if you wanted to. The positional audio as you approach the machines is a nice touch. Great atmosphere in general, and music!!

For what it's worth I did get stuck in the exact same place as WaveParadigm, so I'm thankful I read that comment thread. The difference in height between the two conveyor belts is so minimal, that it felt strange that I could just jump on the first but then not the second. And then the machine in between them seemingly being an invisible wall didn't help, when it also seemed like a reasonable height object to jump onto, and also kinda blocked the jump from the first belt to the second.

Anyway, that's a hiccup in an otherwise very cool experience. I'm now exploring the 3rd arcade machine, which is a cool vibe shift, I appreciate the different perspectives of each game. Not sure where to go but I'll try to utilize the compass. It's very late right now for me, so I need to pause and I'll try again tomorrow. Really nice work!!

Loved the game concept! The minigames are legit fun and well build. Really loved the Atari aesthethics.

Keep working on this game, i am very sure you can get lots of sales on Itch.io and Steam if you build a full game out of this.

Some upgrades you can do:

Make the controls of the machine move with player input, so we feel playing the game.

• Take the camera closer to the screen when playing the minigames, so it fill more of the screen.
• Make the second minigame smaller, so we can interact more with the world outside the machine before being playing a minigame for a long time.
• Making the machines have different styles, like changing the color, the images on it and the format.
• Adding some context for the player, like: You are trapped in a machine depot in the 80s and need to play games to play the games to escape.
• Add different styles of games, from different generations (8bit, 16bit etc.)

I got stuck in this room, after taking the dash, do not know where to go:

Metroidvanias inside a metroidvania was not on my bingo card for MVM30.

I love everything about this game. The creativity behind the terminals, the ambience, the minimalist interpretation, it's awesome from an end to another. I don't much more to say.

i love the implementation of the theme, probably the best I've seen! I got stuck on the lava wall that chases you, but the levels before that was awesome! great job.

Very cool concept, well-demonstrated mechanics, and I love the music in the final section.

I did have to restart the game early on because I accidentally placed the first key somewhere inaccessible, and the jumps to get to the final arcade cabinet were a little difficult, but other than that I had no issues.

THIS IS AWESOME.

Swapping between the different terminals with different ways to play, abilities in one unlocking abilities in the other, and the entire facility coming together had my jaw drop multiple times. I'm heartbroken that my playthrough was forced to abruptly end when trying to find the next way to go upon unlocking Jump in 3D. 

I couldn't figure out what the game wanted from me after reaching the conveyor belts since I could jump to the first but not from the first to the second nor from the ground to the second, and the machine between the two was clearly designed with invisible walls to prevent the player from reaching it. I was just sorta looking around and trying to jump to the second conveyor (I'm afraid this was the first time the game really stumped me and I couldn't find anything to interact with or any other way to proceed), when I ended up sorta clipping into the corner of the conveyor and became entirely unable to move. With no way to proceed, save, or respawn, I was forced to exit the game.

Easily my favorite of the submissions I've had the opportunity to play so far. There's SO much cool stuff you could do with this concept. With some polish to the 3D movement aspects of the game I think this idea has a ton of legs. GREAT work!!

This was such a cool game! I was geniunely sad that it ended because I wanted to keep playing. Loved the concept of the different games interacting. Well done :)

I liked it it's cute and a good concept! I think you should put the controls on the page it took me a Hot Moment to figure out the E key was the interact/disengage button.

I liked the backtrack message lol.
