this is my prototype game. its an arcade style playground/lobby. right now it has 5 mini games. https://firewatercfh.itch.io/the-arcade
i could use some feedback on some of the games.
the arcade has a redemption ticket counter where the player can redeem tickets for novelty prizes(only 3 right now). in the future im thinking of putting giveaways(full value AA+) as prizes, once it has plenty of mini games in it.
i know most people dont have itch.io accounts so i made this steam group to post about updates, get feedback, and if enough people join and test the games i will do bundle gives for the group only. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/arcadeprototype

Race for Life- a game about sperm racing to be the first to the egg.
i think this game is perfect, accept for the need of spit and polish like the entire project.

Leaf Blower Simulator- if lawn mowing can be a game so can blowing leaves.
i dont want it to be possible to %100 clean the yard, the max ive gotten is %80.5, if nobody can get higher score ill add more gas.
the frame drop is not a bug its a feature... on my pc when i have 800+ leaves being blown the frame rate goes to hell. when frames drop, fps and active instances are counted on screen. how many can you blow before your pc cry's? i can optimize but it will be an undertaking with what i have planned.

Christmas is Coming- every year x-mas starts sooner and sooner. santa is determined to take over every holiday. this year he is coming for Halloween.
this game is basic but has a funny premise. it has 4 levels, the fifth level will be the boss/end. i just need a bad ass sprite, im thinking ichabod crane in headless horseman form riding a nightmare.

The Toad Named Frog- eat, grow, eat bigger, grow bigger, eat biggest, be biggest.
this is my fave game so far. i made it and i can only beat it 1/3 of the time. is it too hard? should the toad jump every turn regardless if player is pushing direction?

Pladinko- a plinko clone
i made this because im learning to use the physics engine for other game ideas. right now there is no physics just gravity and a ball that wont stop bouncing. its in game as a fast way to earn tickets.

all feedback welcome. post here, on steam page, or in itchio game page comment.
https://firewatercfh.itch.io/the-arcade windows only for now till i figure out how to package for other operating systems.

There is only a Windows .exe download, so cannot test on Linux.

thats the thing i was wondering about as i wasnt even sure if it would need a dif executable. i supposedly have the licence to make mac and linux but i see no separate option when building exe. if i package it as a zip would that work? ill upload zip as well.
maybe ill reinstall gamemaker to make sure it didnt need a dif license at dl

I've no experience with GameMaker, but the original .exe and the .zip are essentially identical. They contain another Windows only executable '$arcade prototype.exe' which is presumably the loader and the game in 'data.win'.

from what i gathered from a cursory search i would need a system with Ubuntu or mac to compile it. there is stuff about setting up virtual machines but thats out of my meager skill set. thats a bummer. glad i got the license from a bundle, no big loss. thanks for input, i was wondering about that for the last year.
