This a fun little game where you have to play arcade games to keep the player character happy for as long as possible. Each mini game is three seconds long and if you fail a mini game you lose happiness, but if you win you gain happiness. If you leave the arcade games too long they will start to generate unhappiness.
This game is small critique on how escapism is a self-destructive cycle with only one outcome.
Has an offline leader board that records your top ten scores :) The top score us developers were able to get is 430 try and beat that and then post it on here :)
Controls:
There is a controls section in-game but just in case here are the basic controls.
Overworld - Basic First Person controls. WASD keys to move, Mouse to look around. F key to play the arcade games (just make sure you stand in front the Arcade Machine screen or you wont see anything :P). 'P' is to pause the game.
All Mini Games - 'A' and 'D' keys to move left and right
Throw The Thing - use SPACE to shoot
Platformer - use SPACE to jump.
Mini Games Break Down:
Throw The Thing - you have to shoot the goal that is at the top of the screen
Dodge The Thing - dodge the things that are falling from the top
Catch The Thing - catch the thing that is dropping from the top
Platformer - get to the other side. (PS its still a bit buggy sorry :( )
