Haha! The pickpocket hand made me laugh :D Nice game
Pretty cool idea, a few things could've been better, like the difficulty in the game in the game, and a smaller collision box for the hand. :S
That OW sound tho. :P
Nice take on the theme :) play mine if you like: gamejolt.com/games/1-up-arcade/80904
Neat little game, the best I like about is the pickpoketers. It pissed me off trying to get a token out, it was hard for me to get some coins to the thing so I could get a token out. The first token I got out, not stolen anyway, got that pissed me off abit. But in a good way. The second game, the one where you dodge the monsters or whatever, was also fun, I have nothig else much to say, other than it was fun. So...
Voted!
Quite an interesting experience, included it in my video:
Gameplay : Indie VS Gamers!
ARCADIUM ALPHA 0.0.0.0.1
"Aliens are invading the planet of Arcadium, and you, brave hero, are tasked to avoid as many of the aliens as you can while you flee from your homeworld!
Avoid up to four types of aliens, AT THE SAME TIME!
Marvel at your ability to run in space without proper astronaut gear! Physics be damned!
RUN FOREVER AND NEVER STOP UNTIL YOU DIE!"
Future patches will include:
1) A weapon
2) Maybe two
3) More balanced monster spawning, current settings too easy
4) Increase number of tokens required to play
5) What do you mean the number of tokens required aren't hardcoded in arcade machines
6) Well, this one does, so shut up
7) More monster variety to represent minorities
8) More eyes for monsters if funding is sufficient
9) In-app purchases for hats
10) The hats go on the monsters
11) Quintuple score values to make players think they're great
12) An ending to the game
13) Ending DLC to fix first ending
14) Multiplayer support for up to one person
15) Ports to iPhone, Android and Rolex
===========================================================
How to Play:
1) Click on the Piggy Bank to get coins.
2) Drag the coins to the red arrow to buy a token
3) Drag the token into the Coin Return slot to add credits to the game
4) Use WASD to dodge all obstacles
5) Click on the hands to prevent them from stealing your coins and tokens
Other:
1) The more credits you have stored in the game, and the more coins and tokens you have on the table, the faster the hand will move and spawn
2) Inserting a token refreshes the countdown timer for a Game Over
3) A monster only adds to your score when it goes off screen
===========================================================
Arcadium is a meta-arcade game with a helping of resource management on the side, sprinkled with a hint of luck. No, none of the features above will be implemented, the game is functionally complete as it is. Other scoreboards and achievements MAY be added into the future, as well as sprucing up the bad art, but don't count on it.
Game Engine: Stencyl
Art: Microsoft Powerpoint, GraphicsGale
Sounds: Game Maker and Clickteam Fusion 2.5 sample sounds, Pixitracker, bfxr
This game was made for the #indiesvsgamers Game Jam.
A special thank you to Ali for helping me stuff the API in at the last minute. The code is ugly, but functional, and that's all that matters!
