This may be the only game that adequately replicates the feel of pre-internet suburban summer vacations without any strange emotional baggage or suffocating irony attached to it. There is a certain level of jank to everything that isn't an arcade machine, expected from a lone dev using unity to create an open world. Normally this would be a detriment but it comes off as charmingly appropriate for a teen navigating the world on their own. Since everyone in town is a robot, it feels less embarrassing when you struggle to operate a shopping cart or get temporarily trapped in a dumpster because you really wanted a discarded bag of chips or fumble buying a ticket only to take the bus the wrong way.

Despite being early access, the game is chock full of content. My only complaint is that it feels incredibly lonely sometimes. The dev has stated plans for multiplayer in the future but if you have no friends nor enjoy interacting with strangers on the internet, that won't solve the melancholy problem. It's ultimately a rather minor thing however. Just play another round of skeeball to forget it.

After watching an Oregon bearded hipster living in Texas making a video on this game I've been hooked.

A highlight real of all the top arcade machines and games that you can think of along with a variety of prizes and attractions to boot. This is a passion project with as much love as skill and I can't say enough good things about this game. Survival mode may feel flat due to its repetition, but I can always play birthday mode and go wild. A must buy if you want an authentic arcade experience at home with the benefit of winning most games.

The Coin Game fills a much-needed void that I never knew needed to be filled. If you're looking for the tantalizing and fantastical feeling of winning a shit ton of tickets at your local kid's arcade and pizzeria joint, this is the game to cost you hours of your life. It's incredibly silly to describe the adrenaline of watching the coins fall in a coin pusher or aligning the red square tower to get worthless prizes, but no game out there simulates these machines as well as this game. Even outside of those moments, exploring the locales and stores is surprisingly immersive. At the time of writing this, this is still on Early Access, constantly being updated with fixes and new content. This means what you're experiencing is not in a finished (nor optimized) state, so a lot of hiccups are to be expected that will take you out of the immersion.

Starting the game I found the menu to be confusing. I only played the birthday mode, where your given $200 and allowed to play whatever you want? Im not sure, there was a lack of direction and found myself very confused when starting the game.

I will say its a great way to play those addicting arcade machines, like skee ball and coin pusher, without spending real money.
The amount of games is a bit limited, there were two sets of coin pusher games. I feel the other spot could of been used for another style of game machine. Maybe whack a mole, that one hammer strength game, or maybe pinball.

I playing it for a while, but over all I don't see myself choosing to play this game again in the future, when I'm bored and looking for something to play.

I’ve seen this on some different streams and been tempted to play it. I think a gallery of arcade games is an awesome thing, and I like being able to play some form of them without draining my wallet.

I also like the survival and collection aspects. Banal but fun in their own way. Wish there were even more games though, and more types. But it’s still being worked on and I think it’s a lot of fun. Workshop support would also be welcome.

Low quality visual games like this have a certain charm. The jank that permeates it mixed with genuine commitment and passion behind the mechanics.
