  • I loved the unique take on the theme! I don't the world ever will see a "Big brother" series combined with one of these classic casino games ever again. 😄 I can see that we definitely need to try to do some performance optimizations to Forge2D too.
  • My only suggestion improvement would be to maybe balance the gameplay a little bit. Many times I felt that no matter how much I spammed the shoot or where I aimed, it didn't matter? You really managed to put something quite interesting here though, the "vibe" and the style of the game works very well and the theme is quite well used, would love to see a full game coming out of this!

All the art and music and gameplay work so well together, very cohesive! I love seeing the JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Game) style characters proceduraly generate each time I play.

I imagine this game in an arcade, and winning tickets if I knock down enough tokens and then take those to the desk. If I spend $100 on playing I’ll be able to get an amazing $5 prize that’s 2,000 tickets.

Lol!!! I'm glad you like it! I've went down a coin pusher obsession recently which made me want to do this. ;)

For anyone playing this, there's a known bug where if you play on Windows it starts lagging after episode 8. It works fine on MacOS and Linux. I'm not sure why chrome behaves differently on those platforms.

Producing a TV show using a coin pusher is cool way to describe it

I love the touch where you get to name your own TV show. It is such a powerful thing for the player to co-create their immersion.

Thank you for your kind words. :)
