The Arcade
The Arcade is a short Bitsy game about playing arcade games.
How to Play:
Move with WASD or the arrow keys.
This project was done as part of a TWU Mini Bitsy Game Jam centred around the theme of Pranks from chapter 5 of Ian Bogost's book "How To Do Things With Videogames".
The Arcade is probably my longest Bitsy game to date, at around 10 minutes of total playtime. It contains four endings. The theme was the main focus for this game, although the functionality and art were prioritized quite a bit as well.

This was pretty amusing, well done. I would have liked to see some more gameplay in the arcade games, or some more variety, but otherwise an amusing way to handle "gameplay" within the constraints of bitsy. Functionally it is pretty good, though the bathrooms were a let down. Creativityi wise I love the variety here and the stories. I just wish there was more, and more discussion on the topic of pranks. Thematically, this is pretty well done though there is more to pranks than just easter eggs.

Dumb Ways to Die arcade edition? I really liked the idea and I think that your game did an amazing job with the theme. It was quite fun, but a little repetitive. I will say though, finding out what the different endings are made it more interesting (especially the car one). I also really like transporting inside the arcade games. Overall, great game!

The game was really fun. I liked how it had four different endings; that added a lot of replay value. The art was simple but worked perfectly for the arcade theme, and the creativity really stood out for me. I especially liked how you demonstrated the arcade setting through the gameplay itself; it felt clever and consistent with the theme. Getting hit by a car, I wasn't expecting that. Good Work!
