I really like what you did with the theme, clever idea. The game looks very nice, everything is simple and clear. I dig the outlines on the hand.

Funny concept, I've been there, asking my parents for coins to play Pac Man !
Graphics are retro.
But game is too hard (for me).

Though I didn't grow up playing arcade games, I found this game to induce nostalgia. It was fun, and captured the theme well.
Running from machine to machine was pretty difficult too.

feysoura 2013-08-26 23:24

got a hundred and one bugs, couldn't play it!

fdevant 2013-08-26 23:25

Hehehe Nice.

hitonagashi 2013-08-26 23:26

It was a bit tricky at times, I got locked once or twice with the "K" to flip it on the screen.

Theme however is a great idea, and I liked the retro look of the graphics.

geroro 2013-08-26 23:28

really clever and fun, I didn't read the description when I first started and once I figured out what I had to do I had a good chuckle, it brings me right back to the arcade, great job! :D

entity2d 2013-08-26 23:33

Very interesting game concept. It could've been better with some more polish, though.

bradleysmith 2013-08-26 23:35

Interesting take on the theme, love the cell shaded feel of the game. Rated highly. :)

porglezomp 2013-08-26 23:37

If you ever add anything to this, I recommend the end screen asking you to "Insert Coins to Continue"

dkilford 2013-08-27 12:36

I couldn't really get this to work. The gameplay is very confusing and it's unclear as to what I'm supposed to do after I run out of coins, as flipping the money doesn't seem to do anything.

dudsen 2013-08-27 19:17

these damn arcade machines! take my moneeeeey! game a bit confusing though ...

cakemonitor 2013-08-27 21:43

Great idea, and nice graphics too. Must admit I found it quite difficult

designernap 2013-08-28 18:07

Really love the concept of this game. Wondered what was going on to begin with then twigged it and went 'oh no!' *runs for more tokens* Great job :)

futuristteletex 2013-08-29 05:14

silly! liked it! haha..

otus 2013-08-29 05:36

I love the take on the theme! It's very unique!

It would be nice if you could start the game with the keyboard, since the game doesn't use the mouse.

Nice work!

orni 2013-08-29 20:41

great concept and use of the theme
solid game, well done :)

mironix 2013-08-30 17:50

felt like duke nukem at "the ladies".

timtipgames 2013-08-31 13:36

I love the idea and graphics, but the controls made it hard do proceed very far for me :)

d__adee 2013-08-31 14:47

For some reason, I can only make it to 2 rounds (every time I play), the 3rd time doesn't accept my money. haha!

The machine is hard to operate, it feels like I always need to face the coin slot and keep pressing K to make it work (but most of the time, does not).
:P

sestren 2013-08-31 15:25

I didn't have time to properly allow for all the token machines to work at once, so for anyone that's playing and feels stuck after the second round, at that point you have to move to the other room and use the machine there. I apologize for the terrible interface here. If I make a Post-Compo version, that will definitely get fixed.

vaelzan 2013-09-01 01:08

Nice, charming take on the theme :) I found the game to be incredibly hard, but I think I am just too used to mouselook. Not a bad effort for the 48 hours overall, but can see where more time would have really helped you.

jellycakes 2013-09-01 16:13

Really nicely done. I like how the concept of the arcade games coincides with the retro art style. Really stresses you out too, but in a GOOD way. Well done nice game.

crashbanito 2013-09-02 15:03

A really interesting entry that would be perfect with some sound. A bunch of beeps and boops would really complete the arcade atmosphere. Either way, good hectic fun.

william_edwards 2013-09-03 10:41

Very nice 3D in flash; is that from scratch or is there a framework?

vikingpotato 2013-09-03 16:41

I know that feel bro! The game reminded me of similar happenings when i played on arcades :) loved it.. although in reality it was much easier to do this

jupiter_hadley 2013-09-05 02:17

This was basically my childhood. Loved it. I featured it in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX5erHA1DPE

everblind 2013-09-05 06:06

nice!

shellfishgames 2013-09-07 09:15

Cool idea and very nice graphics.

danhett 2013-09-07 15:22

Love the visuals, really cool!

pitzik4 2013-09-07 23:38

Whoa... A raycaster in Flixel? That is super awesome. The game is original and challenging, too. Great work overall, my only complaint is the refreshing to restart. Did you use static variables a lot or something?

sestren 2013-09-08 02:17

Actually, I don't think I used that many. But I was pressed for time and my restart code still had a game-breaking bug in it, so I scrapped wasting time trying to fix it and just put in the refresh screen message as an ugly workaround.

raroadkill 2013-09-10 01:23

Love the game, fun concept. Miss the days of tokens. Controls were a bit awkward at times

x-or 2013-09-10 08:07

Oh man, I didn't realize back then, how quickly you actually spent these tokens, and how much money was converted to these^^

I never really lost a game due to the continue thing up to now, but I extremely can remember the struggle to wait for a cool game to be *not* occupied =)

For all those, who didn't beat the game so far: try pressing <Shift> while running and insert the coin to the right, pick up the token on the left of the dispenser. I was technically banging the head (and fists) against the machine, without realizing the token needed to be picked up first :D

infernet89 2013-09-14 22:26

Woha, 3d? With Flash? In 48 hour? Well done!
Also, i really liked the underling idea of this game, very original! I felt a little uncomfortable with controls to change/flip money, so it was a little hard to me.

dwallin 2013-09-15 02:54

A cool idea. it could have used a bit more of a ramp up period to give players time to become comfortable with the controls and mechanics. Also having to repeat the same actions every time you restart made replayability take a big hit.

capro 2013-09-15 09:15

Weird interesting game. I like it. :)

imef 2013-09-15 09:31

Nice concept! Feels quite nostalgic.
