Sinister Simon is a little game where you play as a crook called Simon and help him gather enough money to realize his dream trough some very sinister activities.
I wasn't expecting this theme and had 0 ideas for it when it was revealed, so I decided to do very simple design upon which I could expand if there were time.
The game contains 3 mini-games all of which contribute money towards the goal. Failing to complete a minigame will start the game all over again (NES flashback).
The minigames are: Bank Robbery - open a vault before cops show up Hack a Mac - gather sensitive data from a mac for blackmail Creditcard Fraud - use someone elses' credit card for money
I'm not entirely satisfied with the game, but atleast I got something finished :)
A rather simple game, I liked the mini-games even if they all seemed to lack a bit of content. The game was very easily lost and it felt like there was just not enough content in it really.
Thanks for the comments everyone, always appreciated!
@Frolacosta in the bank robbery game you have to get the right 3 digit combination for the vault to open. Each correct digit has a higher pitch sound than the incorrect ones, so once you have found the higher pitch sound move to the next digit and repeat.
And I agree that I should've increased the time given for the minigames, but thats quite hard to balance without proper user-testing :)
Interesting game fitting the theme. The mini-games match the activities well (which isn't always the case) and the bits of humor are nice.
The safe and hack mini-games were too hard for my poor reflexes. That, however, highlights your decision to add a time-independent mini-game that works as an alternative too.

I liked the ending too. I didn't quite understand the bank robbing game and the Mac Hack game was very hard! Overall though, great job!
P.S: I loved the music!
