Notice:
I made this game in 8 hours, after giving up the first game I worked from Saturday morning until Sunday at 16h, with great exasperation. (more details in the dev-blog)

Note:
I cant test the html5 version on tablet or smart-phone myself. So I dont know if it working well. (Dont hesitate to give a feedback about that, i'm curious)

Spoil:
I was inspired by the first odyssey games. As game, you only get a white square on the screen. I was also inspired by dubious compilation of games in one cartridge (as 52 in 1 on NES). Where games only get a try, then you try to forget it.

I lacked time, I had the brains to mush, I wanted to let off steam ...
Sorry about that, because I had lost the intension (or capacity) to produce a game properly. At least I hope you have fun with the care that I put to ridicule each gameplay.

If you don't know about "52 in 1" NES game, follow the link bellow "inspired by". There is a funny video critic by the Angy Video Game Nerd.

I could play hide and seek the whole day.
Old good memories of those electronic games with 'Amazing 10 games in 1'.

This is the great!

Reminds me of those old very horrible multi-pack games. You did well.

Lol.

The race game was misleading - I thought I was going to get to draw the map :(

Also, when failing at multi-player, I should be returned to the main menu, like when I fail at the other games, otherwise I'm forced to play it again and again until I win.

Overall, better than I thought it would be. :)

Cute games. Funny use of the theme. I was entertained.

@JaymeeMak:
Actually there were a bug in the race game, the trigger "back to menu" was enabled at startup (and I dont understand why). But now it's corrected.

Nice recovery! In past LD48's, I've done similar major rage-type-changes and given up on a particular idea late in the weekend... but haven't come up with anything quite as clever as this.

Brilliant! Golf and racing were the best. I didn't have a friend to try the multiplayer out sadly, so I just had to pretend.

Lol, this was neat idea putting a lot of simple little games into one. And they were fun :) Great job, I enjoyed all of them!

You handled the failure of your first try very well! Points for humour!
