Broken Arcade

10/10 broken arcade energy.

the 3D cabinet around a slightly off pac-man maze is a neat frame. only played the first maze briefly, a line on what's broken about each game would make the idea land harder

immediately my mind went here https://youtu.be/v2NFl86LX3Q?t=173 (i think i cant add links? bloodhoundgang - mope - 2mins 50s

I almost though the game was just broken but in the first arcade machine my keyboard did not work since the game registered only my controller inputs, once i realized that it was because of that i could play through nicely and the keyboard inputs worked fine in other levels.

This was really fun to play, nice absurdism and humor with great atmosphere and twists. I liked the block game most and i think that concept in itself could work as a jam game inits self.

It's a devious idea to put *spoiler* in your game.
I can't stop playing!

Oh man, I absolutely loved this! This gave me some heavy 2000s fangame vibes, in the most complimentary possible way (and that fits the theme of old tech even harder)

I only have two pieces of minor feedback to offer. The first is that the glitch effect was a bit too intense at times, and started making the game unpleasant to play in places. I don't have any photosensitivity issues, but I could definitely see that causing problems for someone who does.

The only gameplay critique that I can offer is with the Pacman stage - The controls there felt rough, and the goal of getting 25 points was in and of itself a very difficult starting challenge. This might have been a skill issue, but I had to retry that stage about 30ish times before I finally beat it. It was by far the hardest part of the game for me.

I'm glad I stuck through it though, because minor nitpicks aside, I loved what you made :) Great job overall!

That's an interesting way to learn that I suck at pacman :D Nice spooky vibe. I wish there was a bit more story to it!

The Pac-Man part really surprised me. Nice job!

I'm glad you gents didn't pick more litigious companies IPs to rip off. 😄

This was definitely the most unique and interesting game I've played this jam!

Torilla tavataan and all that.

@xedur Yea we are hoping they don't come after us!

Really enjoyed it! Cool concept and great game for this theme.

Game of the second!
