I thought this game would turn into a horror jumpscare after the last arcade was gone. Luckily, it didn't. The three games are easy to play. In the asteroid game, the bullets sometimes acted weirdly. For example, when one bullet touched another, they both started spinning and flying in every direction.
Thanks for the feedback! I've seen that bug in a couple of play throughs, which is odd since I didn't get it in any playtesting. I have a suspicion on how to fix it though! I've seen a lot of people thinking it was going horror but it was supposed to signify the last game was a memory, never a real game!
The mini games were fun to play, I don't know what really happened in the last one (Two player) but after I finished it the whole arcade disappeared, I was thinking about a dark twist xD. The music was also spot on. Great Job with the game.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm slightly wishing I went with a dark twist or a jump scare at the end now. The last game was supposed to be a final memory from visiting the arcade as a kid and it disappearing was to signify it wasn't an actual game but a memory.
Very nice! Using the theme for arcade coins was very unique. The platforming game was a little bit of an issue, some coyote time and maybe slowing it down a little bit would help out cause I felt like I was sliding all of the place. Good job!
Thank you for the feedback! I definitely see what the issue is now and really appreciated it!
Nice game! It would have been nicer to have one fully developed game rather than three not as developed ones--the gameplay was a little janky (too big collision shapes, weird jumping physics), but overall, solid entry.
Thanks for the feedback! The 3 games were memories with a slow reveal that they were memories rather than games, but the story needed to be communicated better. I will definitely look into how I can improve jumping physics going forward!
I really liked the idea of smaller games inside a game, and also the take on the jam's theme being nostalgia, compared to many other games where it's just gold (mine included), I think your game is original and cool, but gameplay and graphics wise it's lacking a bit, I finished it in 2 minutes. Overall, great gob!
Thank you for the feedback! I really took old gold to mean the happy memories covered in dust or tarnished from time. So I felt like the most creative way to take it was from a feeling rather than literally. I'm still pretty new to pixel art so I want to know however I can improve!
Like the minigame variations! One question I did have was what did the final minigame represent?
Thank you!! The last game was supposed to be the big reveal that you were playing through childhood memories in the arcade! I'm realizing now that my head cannon took over and I didn't communicate the ending though.
The whole game feels dream-like, but the last game exceptionally feels like a weird fever dream. Games werent hard per say, but for the first I didn’t even know how I won and the last one was just puzzling. Not bad per say, just weird?
Graphically while the game looks okay, nothing really spoke gameboy to me, music and sfx were okay, maybe a tad to loud.
Not sure if you know, but even if I select options, the game starts.
Overall not a bad game, just a bit hard to put my finger on it.
I replied on the game page, Thank you!!!
Incredibly quirky, and I enjoyed playing the arcade games individually compared to the regular one game and done deal.
Thank you! Quirkyness was definitely meant to be a big factor, I wanted the story to feel like nostalgic memories and center around the theme!
Parabéns
Thanks!
Good game!
The third arcade machine disappeared after I beat the last game, lol.
Hahah that was meant to happen!
I see, it was a funny surprise
The platforming was a bit difficult for me (as I said on another project, I'm just not good at WASD controls), but overall I liked it. Music was slightly creepy, and I'm assuming that was intentional. Like the echoes of the past overlaying the present.
Thanks for the feedback! The control scheme is a lot better on a controller but I'll look into customizable controls for future projects. Your right its supposed to give vibes of the past over the present!
It’s a cool game, quite nostalgic. Simple gameplay. I’d like to see more different slot machines with different games.
Thanks for the feedback, more games would have been fun! I just didn't want to over scope during a pretty busy week.
This is a really clever idea, and definitely hit the nostalgia feels. Hope you add a third game in the arcade.
Thank you for the feedback! There is a third game in the arcade but this one is more of a memory.
