You are now able to play any machine you want whenever you want, so ignore the reviews saying they wish they could do that.
This game is really a mixed bag. The machines and the way they play are pretty good most of the time. There are many gripes that I have with this though.
- The camera is not your friend in most cases. Instead of making a static camera or one that only moves when needed, the camera just decides to pan across the machines and zoom in and out at will.
- The stacker machine is broken. If you miss one block of one stack, you're going to fail because the next stack will come in with the same amount of blocks and missing one block on 2 stacks in a row makes you fail, but it's impossible to hit the entire next stack because it doesn't subtract the block you missed before.
- There is no settings or options menu, meaning you can't adjust anything, including the very annoying and repetitive music.
[*]This game is now seemingly abandoned, with 3 of the machines still in "alpha stages" and 2 more missing from the roster.
I'd pass on this and just get The Coin Game instead of you want a virtual arcade.
This game has been abandoned and isn't that great. If you're looking for a good arcade game look into The Coin Game not this.
This game takes me back to being a little kid visiting the Atlantic City boardwalk. At the time they had "casinos" like these with fun games to play for tickets or tokens that could be cashed in for prizes. It probably cost my parents a small fortune to win items that would be dollar store quality today, but I loved the experience.
So step off the boardwalk into a tiny casino arcade. The coin pusher was my absolute favorite, and realistic to what I remember. I really like the overall feel and physics of that one. It feels the most authentic. Things like the stacker machine would have been after my time, but that was also realistic, at least compared to the ones I've played in VR.
There's also a claw machine which drops toys just like the real thing. Table football (soccer to us Americans), a bulldozer that was pretty challenging and a slam a winner. Might I suggest adding a slot machine in one of the two empty spaces? You could even expand and add another row. Hint, hint.
I did notice it was a little sticky/buggy in places. Like on the bulldozer, to get the hand to switch to hit the button wasn't as easy as it should have been. And the camera kept zooming in and out on the claw machine. But overall, with a little TLC and perhaps the last two slots filled so the game looks finished this is a wonderful title for arcade fans.
To the devs: please keep going! You've got an awesome start here. Surely you'd like to fill the last two slots.
TLDRL: 25 Minutes, played/completed the 6 games, disappointing, badly made, avoid.
No movement within the arcade.
3 of the 6 games are not finished and the others aren't very good.
You can't play the coin pusher until you've played the other games first and gotten 2 stars on most of them.
No numeric money tally.
The coin pusher isn't finished, it's bare bones.. boring.
The coin pusher physics are bad, the coins are slow and floaty.
Whether you like it or not the games end when you get 2 stars on the machine.
The game isn't finished and hasn't had an update since 2017.
Play the coin game instead.
i HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHY TWO GAMES WORKS IN THIS GAME! The last update was in 2018. This is rediculous.
there are two games available at the start of the game. you have to complete them to unlock the other games. the only problem here is that i completed both and the other games not unlocked for me. instead of unlocking the other games i got an endless repeating screen of falling money that brought me absolute nothing. the first game stack machine's controlling is absolute horrible. its no fun at all. for the fairness i got to say that i really liked the toy grabbing machine. that made my whole playing time. for that price i cant complain. i just wish there would be a way to play all games from the beginning because i will stuck forever and be unable to play one of the other games. that is why i sadly cannot recommend the game. the money would be better invested somewhere else.
Message to developers, concept is great. Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews and keep making it.
Honestly not much to this game. There are better arcade simulators/games out there.
I wasted my money oh well it was on sale. I would not buy if i could do over.
I hope to plan to change my review in the future, but for now here's my two cents.
I haven't played the game very long, but honestly there isn't much to try when you boot up the game.
You start with a measly two games and I presume you need to beat the first skill-based game to unlock the other ones, which I find a bit lame. I feel all of the games should be available from the start in case you're not a fan of certain arcade games, like the starting one which is when you press to drop blocks 3 at a time and try to stack up to the two-star line.
Another thing is how you can't click on the instructions, the two machines have instructions on the front of the machine itself but there's no way to control the camera or to move around and get a closer look, so it comes down to guessing if you've never played these kind of games. Not that they're hard to understand, but I'm still stumped on the block game myself.
The game lags really bad, even on my gaming computer itself. This can affect gameplay horribly when everything is about timing.
On the next game, which is 'NEW'ly introduced at this point, is the claw machine game. A classic.
However, you're met with nothing much to shoot for, I can't figure out how to pick up the plushies I win or what to do with them, so it's basically useless at this point.
A nitpick is that the claw machine doesn't have you put in a token/coin to start, which is a small thing but if you really want the full experience, it can be important I guess.
I mentioned this somewhat before, but here's a full statement. The camera is pretty wonky and junky, you can't control it at all and when you're on the claw machine it just zooms in and out at random, no control for the player to have.
The block game is difficult to understand, which could just be me, but with the instructions being hard to even see or read, I have not much to go off of.
The first block drop is horribly delayed for some reason I can't understand, which I think is part of the terrible lag.
With nothing to do and nothing to win, this game is basically bare bones, even at the small price it asks. I'm really hoping this game gets updated further and becomes more fun, but for now it's a dud that should just be skipped.
TLDR;
- Boring
- No goals/prizes
- Horrible camerawork
- Lags a lot
- Forces player to 'win' at certain games to unlock others
A mildly entertaining distraction, but I'm pretty sure this will never be finished. I'll take down this review if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath.
Completed the current content in 25 minutes.. which is kinda slow :( For now, dont buy.
this was fun with beer and weed,
reasonabaly short but reasonably priced, it goes good with any
sort of cannabis or alcoholic beverage.
then it just ends cause a well, its only 1.99
=(
wish i could pay 40 dollars and get 20 times the content and have a full on
casino arcade thing in my house
p.s. my light saber is not weird looking its deady
:P my computer will not let me install it, says there is a virus.
This is the only game it does it on.
Update: I'll keep my original review below, it was a postive.
When this game came out it was the only game like this I knew of. I basically bought it to play coin pusher. Since it's release, a game called The Coin Game came out. It's about 5 times as expensive but the physics for the games is generally a lot better and it's a lot more contextualized. This game hasn't had a significant update for a long time and two of the six games that are here outright don't work. I'd be happy to go back to this if the dev does but I can't recommend this when there's a much better (albeit, more expensive) alternative. There is also a game called Tower Unite which seems like a similar concept but I haven't played it so I can only vouch for the coin game.
If you have two bucks and want like 30 minutes of gameplay to take the edge off, this IS a lot cheaper than going to an arcade.
Note: Windows Defender kept removing files from this game, you might have to disable to install this, but it certainly seems like a false flag. This should be your first fix!
Not very much here at all yet.
Everything functions very well, I think I could have a lot of fun with these if there were more to work towards than stars, maybe tickets to buy animals, art, etc.
Very good proof of concept, I hope at some point Skeeball, multiple types of each game (harder coin pushers, etc), and more gameplay within each (quests, currency to buy items, etc) will be in the final release.
recommend because it was only a dollar fifty
I thought I might give this game a review to help it along. The only reason I knew about it is because I have actually gone through every single title in my Steam queue. That's right. All 20,702 at the time of this writing. I feel like this title could use a little more attention.
I absolutely love coin-operated machines of all kinds, and I even have a bulk candy vending machine in my office for the use of students and visitors that come by. The opportunity of playing a game that simulated some of these games sounded appealing to me, so I put this on my wishlist. I was delighted when it game out for less than two bucks for early access. Two bucks! I grabbed it up and have enjoyed it so far. For a game of its price point, it does quite well. You won't find a whole lot of bells and whistles here, but what you will find is a game that re-creates many of the ticket redemption games found in arcades very faithfully.
At this point in time, there are 5 games, one of which is in testing. There's an electronic stacker game, a ball drop game, one of those where you push a robotic arm through a slot to claim a prize, a coin pusher, and a foosball table. They all run quite smoothly, although they are significantly easier than their real-life counterparts. This is NOT a bad thing, as the real-life counterparts are designed to eat your money, whereas this has no such goal in mind.
Moving forward, the developer intends to add at least three more machines, judging by the blank spaces on the menu, but I hope there will be more as time goes on. Each machine is unlocked by reaching a certain level of performance (unlocking stars) on previous machines. This helps to guide you through playing each of the machines, so you wind up getting to experience some that you may not have picked as your first choide. It also provides you with a reason to play each machine, in the hopes of unlocking others. The progression is currently linear, though, which means that it may take a while to get to machines you really want to play when more are added. They might benefit from changing it to allow players to pick what machines they want to unlock with their earned stars. The stars are not terribly hard to earn, and the game itself is not particularly deep at the moment, but the quality of simulation makes the $2 or less pricetag very worthwhile. I would definitely recommend this for some simple fun, especially considering how you can easily spend more than this at an arcade just playing some of these 2-3 times.
Let's get this out of the way, this doesn't appear to be a game where you play a machine of your choosing and earn rewards. Each machine has a win state in which you get up to 2 stars. The more stars you have the more machines are available. Once you complete a machine there is little point to go back to it. You can, however, if you so desire.
Graphically the game is passable. Although, there are no settings. None. Zilch. Hope you like fullscreen and stretched (I have a 21:9 monitor and some settings... at least fullscreen/windowed would have been nice). The audio varies by machine. I'm not sure if this is by design or if it's because some are unfinished.
Now, let's go machine by machine.
Stacker machine
The first machine isn't one of my favorites. It's one of those where you have to press a button to drop digital blocks (on a screen... on your screen... so meta-blocks) on top of one another to reach a certain height. This one is quick to pass and not very enjoyable. The background audio is pretty good here, though. Nice ambience of an arcade area.
Slam a winner
This machine has a spinning plate with holes, each with a different point value assigned. The object is to get the dropped bouncy ball to go into holes with high enough point values to total the amount needed to get 2 stars. I don't think I've ever seen one of these machines in person.
Bulldozer
First of all, I HATE these machines. I have never found much enjoyment out of them as the win-to-lose ratio is far too low. The prizes in real life are usually pretty fantastic, though, because of this reason. But, I still hate them. And, it's a game where stereoscopic vision is pretty important, and it doesn't translate well to a 2D game. (I know it's a "3D game" but it's on a 2D screen) This one may be the game that frustrates people. But, the object is to get enough points to get 2 stars to get to the next machine. Each hole which the pusher can enter has a block behind it with an assigned number of points.
Coin pusher
Finally! The meat of the game I was looking for! I love coin pushers. I once filled 2 giant trash bags full of won stuffed animals from our county fair. I probably spent close to $75... but still. There are no points you need to achieve to get stars here. Instead, the stars are laying on top of the coins and you just need to push them off. I want to see more of this style of gameplay added. The physics are decent at best, though. The pusher moves at full speed, but the coins fall and bounce in slooooooow motion. It's not a frames issue, they just react like it's quarter gravity. Even then this is still the most enjoyable machine, for myself anyways. It would have been better if there were other collectable objects that appear randomly each time you go to the machine to make the replay value high enough. But, it's still fun to try and get the 2 stars again on this one.
Table football
This one was in test mode when I played, and couldn't get stars. The table looks nice and the physics felt okay. But not much to say here yet, it's foosball.
Overall, it's a hard call whether to recommend this. I will say it's not for everybody. The game is clearly in it's early stages and more will come. But if you enjoy arcade games it's one to watch. However, given its current price of under $2, I say give it a go if you enjoy arcade style games and want to encourage further development. I know I do.
I want to play the machines that I want to play now; not have to slog through the boring ones first. This is supposed to be casual fun not a grind.
simple and basic game,good value for a low priced game
Very good for the price. Please add a ticket system in so you can earn prizes and put a option in so they you can continue to play if you already have a star for the coin pusher please. Also Please add claw machines and skee ball please.
