So I went to the arcade with my family today, and it was pretty fun. We bought 16 tokens and equally distributed equally between us (4 each), but mostly spent our time playing Taiko because of course we would. It's a really fun game to play both alone and with your family, and the fact that you could play 2 songs with a single token was really helpful as well, because each one cost around 5 reais, which is a bit pricey.

Between all of the terrible kids oriented ones and loud Kof cabinets where 30 year olds were screaming like their lives depended on it, my cousin kept staring at Flying Tickets. I have no idea why this one in particular but he's 7, so maybe he recognized the visuals from a youtube kids video? Weird to think that flappy bird is older than him...

Well, while my parents were blasting the Taiko drums with folklore music on easy, I decide to spent my 2 last tokens so that we could give this a shot together, especially given the fact that he burned all his tokens in some quirky whack-a-mole reskin with zombies that were too fast for his hands.

Anyways, after the 2 tokens went in, we pressed the 2 buttons to play the only mode there was for multiplayer: versus. Since the game had only a single button, tap, I was wondering what the hell would happen. Would it be the exact same as Flappy Bird? Were the physics different? Were there any new mechanics?

You see, there was barely no gameplay footage showing, the screen trailers only kept showing flashing lights with blatantly adulterated gameplay to call the attention of small kids, which worked on him.

After you press start there was no message showing a countdown or anything, it just puts you into the action. After mere 4 seconds of not fully understanding how tapping works, he died. Immediately on screen a small 'Player 2 wins' message appeared, and... that was it.

That was the game.

2 tokens burned in 4 seconds.

He almost started crying out of guilt, saying sorry while holding tears because he felt like just took away 4 games on the cool drum machine for me. We ended up buying 2 more (of course, just telling him that that we found them deep in our pockets) just so that we could play together the 'weird songs' that I liked on Taiko, like vocaloid.

Thanks for reading until here, I know it's not the usual low effort meme review that I do but I needed to vent this terrible experience. This game is peak predatory garbage and a strong contender for the single worst experience I've ever had with the medium.
