Arcadecraft

This lazy pile of crap is not a simulation game. It is a glorified clicker.

Интересная идея экономического симулятора развлекательного центра с аркадными автоматами. Но реализация просто слов нет. Один из самых неудобных интерфейсов. Чтобы автомат поставить нужно чуть ли не минуту мышкой и клавой дергать. Тьфу!

Not a tycoon game in case one expects to find one. It is a game where you manually have to empty the coins accumulated in the machines or unclog stuck coin slots by 'lifting and dropping' the arcade or place machines into 'hot' locations where they get a boost in income. But i suppose the most defining parts is the simplified caveats in the game you should not be doing. For example price increases. Now i learned in the school that the 'highest price the customer pays is the right price'. Does not work here. People play as much as before and customers only slightly protest on a scale of 1-5 and that only at 0.5. Increasing price to exactly 1.00$ for example slows accumulation of quarters in the machine, it does not just bring in a slower stream of one dollars. So basically doing things the advisor says you shouldn't do really are such things. In this particular games set of rules. All in all this small game just shows me nicely the death spiral arcades went into. It does not bring any kind of fond memories of the good times. As a game it is not much to celebrate and it's normal asking price is too high for a game this simple.
