April 2020 Progress Report

I've been enjoying the arcade quite a bit, but I dunno that I'm down for finishing the ticket grind for the rideable scooter even though I'm halfway through and I have a couple reliable ways to get 150+ tickets per game played. So I may not play much next month unless theres significant arcade additions. I joined their forums to report a couple bugs and some of them have been answered directly by the founder dev which was a pleasant surprise.

A simple mindless but amusing online-only game I learned about from Reddit that is based on the Prisoner Dilemma - If both players split $ they both win, if one person steals then stealer wins $$, but if both people steal they both lose. You get coins to buy characters, backgrounds, and buildings. The social aspect of it is amusing, especially since my name aligns with an in-game organization that has become a meme. In game organizations give benefits like increasing multipliers. I performed a heist of another player (aside from core gameplay) which is stated as an end game activity, hence "Beaten".

Hour count is partially because its easy to play on mobile via Steam Link in my home, but its mostly because I've accidentally left it running and just today there's been a bug where Steam thinks the game is running even though its not. It can also be played online via Kongregate but I can't load it on my mobile browser, hence Steam Link.

This seems like the best 3D homage to Sim Tower that I know, which was one of my fav sim games ever. It doesnt have much frills or elaborate management controls or reports, but its all good enough to make it worth the core gameplay loop: Build to attract tenants/visitors, earn $, maintain, and keep people happy. I just got to 4 stars, and if I get 5 stars & 100 floors, then all achievement are in reach. BTW this game is from the dev that made my favorite game dev sim: Mad Games Tycoon

Its a great twist on bridge building games with the use of various Portal elements, but the last couple of levels are tedious in how you have to rely on the angle of jumps and nuanced levels of platforms to get speeds & timings just right.
Streets of Rogue: Its been a fun challenge and I appreciate the gradual unlocks that become available. I might pause this next month.

I'm kinda stuck on an giant firefight after getting the fire arrows, so I'm pausing the game for now

I cant even get the game to launch even though it seems this isn't an online only game. This was delisted when the sequel came out anyways. Glad it was just one of many games from some bundle - No big loss here, but I wouldn't have minded a sports game to mix things up this month.
