After I finished making the first level of the my first AppGameKit game (a shoot 'em up, still in development), I took a break from that to quickly make this simple little tribute to old Atari games, using everything I'd learned about AppGameKit so far. I also decided to get into making chiptunes on an 8-bit music tracker, to go with it.
Free to download for mobile/tablet:
Greet 'em and Seat 'em - A "catch" game where your political career hinges on your success at providing your supporters with seating and hearty handshakes at rallies and meetings. There isn't much to the gameplay but there's a lot of story and flavour text!
In terms of game mechanics it's essentially the same as an old Atari 2600 "adult" game called
Beat 'em and Eat 'em, and while
Greet 'em could be called a "safe-for-work parody" of the filthy original, it can still be fun without requiring the player to know anything about that old XXX game (or its re-skinned, gender-swapped twin, "Philly Flasher"). There are subtle references to those games, but nothing that would compromise its G-rating (or its fair use parody status).
