This is the kind of thing that needs more attention. You nailed what a lot of people in game jams miss out on. This is just whack a mole. There’s not “with a twist”, and it’s a great game. You didn’t have to great a bar room environment for this to exist in, or use 7 segment display fonts to make it feel analog, but you did that for design reasons to fit with the vibe. Kudos.

Haha thanks. I had this classic, arcade machine feel/vibe in my mind. It's that 80s stuff feels that we get sometimes, that I was trying to replicate. Not that good at shader design, hence the simplistic materials here. I feel the core of what made this better is the adaptive difficulty, which I definitely feel needs more playtesting to tweak, but still works here.
Thanks for the feedback.
