Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of Lola's Barkade, an arcade built to cater to a very particular set of customers. Unfortunately, the previous owner failed to mention that the power fluctuates wildly and there is never enough to power more than a few machines. Manage your power usage carefully in order to make enough money to pay your bills. Be warned, the money is automatically withdrawn from your account periodically and if you are ever short, you will be forced to go out of business. Enjoy! Click on machines to turn them on and off. If a machine is on, customers may use them, which makes you money. If your customers are happy, they are more likely to stay longer. Watch your power usage, though. If you use too much, your machines will turn off and you will have to manually turn them all back on. Don't forget that the vending machine and sign also use power (and can be turned on and off)!
Really unique idea, and nice graphical style! Unfortunately the game spat out a big error window on the first playthrough, but other than that this is a nice entry :slight_smile: It's a bit tough, but still enjoyable.
@aj-weeks Oof, sorry about that error window. I haven't run into it in any testing, so hopefully it's really rare and I'm not just getting lucky (unlucky?) in general testing.
That was a really neat concept! I was a little confused as to how to gain/lose power since all the machines would turn off suddenly, but I loved the sound effects and music and the art style paired with the feel of the game splendidly! Your team did an awesome job!! Keep up the great work!! :)
Really funny idea. Put a smile on my face for sure. Could use some more communication from the... dogs. But I guess they're dogs, after all. And maybe an intro level where you only have a few machines to mind. Love the graphics and detail. Awesome work.
Funny idea and interesting take on the theme! I love the graphics, they are really well done. Gameplay was okay, I wish there was more alert or something when machines turn off. Everything is now so sudden, bankruptcy happens so quick I had any idea what I did wrong. Overall needs bit tweaking but fun and beautiful game still.
Those adorable dogs playing arcades and then going for snacks and then playing more arcades, that's the best thing I have seen in a while, thanks! The game turned out much better than I expected, I recommend everyone to try it.

To be honest I didn't look at screenshots before play so I was surprised that customers are :dog:
Really creative idea. Especially "watch dogs" :wink:
The gameplay is a bit fast. I prefer more explicit way to show which machine is running and which is not (maybe more darker inactive ones).
Really enjoyed the amazing artstyle!
like n.feofentov, I think there could be some improvement on graphic clarity.
Otherwise nice entry!
