Hello everyone
I'd like to swow you a project I've been working on for the last months. It's a game for Android, it started as a side project, just to have some fun but now it's grown enough, so I'd like to show it to you so you can give me some feedback.
The concept is simple: MINI GAMES, and it will be about all the games you could find in the arcades. There will be a pinball machine, an air hockey game, a basketball game and of course... lots of classic arcade games.
As I have tons of games started, this project became as a way to release them, but in the concept of mini games.
Having said that, with you the first game... the pinball machine:



And here a youtube video so you can see how it plays





I allready started a pinball game, so here I continued it.
I can say it's almost finished. Let me introduce you some cool features it has:

• ball trail effect and a blur effect when it moves fast (faster means more blurred)
• lights with fading effect (as if they where light bulbs)
• particle effects here and there
• animated targets and droptargets
• wire ramps
• points and jackpot animations
• an offline max score system

The table has its own rules: if you complete the upper lanes you multiply everything, first completion it's x2, then x3 and so on
once you hit the red targets at the right you enable the jackpot (lights start to flash), wich is in the middle, so you hit the droptarget and then score the jackpot
to enter the ramp and get the ramp bonus you have to hit the droptarget and then enter the ramp
first seconds of each ball you have a shoot again light, so if the ball drains you have another ball.
I wanted it to have an arcade feeling, so it plays really fast and the rules are very simple.
Of course there is a lot to do, but at this point I wanted to show it to you so you can tell me your thoughts
About the other games, I've almost completed the basketball game and some of the arcade games. I'll keep updating this to show all I have

Here the first version of the icon:



And here the second game that will be included in the game: the basket game.

It's an old project I had in my abandoned projects folder (it was a test I did years ago, as there is a Ketchapp game wich is almost the same game), so I decided to do something with it, as I think it's funny and addictive.





The concept is simple, just swipe the ball to the basket. As you progress you collect stars and unlock new balls.

While these 2 games (pinball and basket) are almost finished, now I'm working in the arcade mini games.
The concept will be simple: a lot of mini games. I made a mockup of what I'm working on:



I've added scanlines and some CRT monitor effect to make it feel more like an arcade machine.
I think those are the games I'll add, at least for the first release. All of them will be "infinite" games. From left to right:
A flappy bird game: easy to make. And a very addictive game...
Racing game: just avoid the cars. Everytime harder, as velocity increases
A shoot'em up: Still thinking how should I make this one...
Scooter boy: a game where obstacles appear, and you just have to jump over them. (Like the dino game from Chrome when you don't have internet access...)
1D pacman: a VERY addictive game (check this link and see it by yourself). Should be easy to port.

Allready done the flappy one:





I don't know how scanlines feel in a game like this, as flappy bird is not an old school game...

Racing game is coming...





The concept is simple, as you progress the velocity increases and also does the traffic.
There will be different stages (not shown in the video) and more animations, particles and stuff like that

Almost forgot to post here my own version of 1D pacman...

And here is my first approach to what a SHMUP would look like (done it very fast, there are LOTS of things to do, like powerups, increasing difficulty, more enemies... at the moment it's very basic)

[ninjaGames]

My original idea was to polish, all the games allready made before starting another one, but I couldn't resist to make just one more mini game, some kind of platformer game:

So, say hello to "Jumpy"





Simple concept. just jump over the levels and avoid the obstacles. everytime harder os you progress. I find it fun and addictive...
