Zoltanya, Outdated Robot Fortune Teller by AzimuthGames
Zoltanya is a Fortune Teller, a coin operated one, her life is fueled by currency. It's bad enough that after every patron she shuts down, but if she cant keep a constant flow of money, she will be taken out of the arcade!
Keep Zoltanya in her home by hacking other more popular machines and forcing people to play yours!.
Ideal fixes -Machines are limited and dont fix right now -More hacking minigames -Better feadback on health costs -Better looking characters

The graphics for this were quite cool, and I also really like your use of the theme. Rock on!
@gus-the-shark The responses should have appeared inside a menu you open right above the chatbox by clicking the button. They move down to the chatbox when you click them.
@cppchriscpp Ohhh hey man! I'll have to check out your game!
Again, it's a really good idea, so I might try this again if some of the bugs get fixed.
- The screen filter effects were making it hard to see icons above heads of NPCs and also the chart behind the main character.
- It wasn't clear how I could get NPCs to play your arcade machine without hacking until you lose.
However, I couldn't really play the game... I tried the mini game to get customers, but couldn't figure out how it worked. Maybe an easier level at the beginning would have been good so that we could understand how the hack works.
I would really like to see this game completed, I think it's a very promising concept.
Excellent interpretation of the theme, probably best take on it I've seen yet.
Then the main game was hard to play as the customers symbols were displayed above their heads, obscured by the 'Zoltanya' writing on her case and a blur effect. It took a while to decipher the symbol through the blur, then turn around to check the symbols meaning, then respond with the correct word as all of the choices are the same font and often similar words. Then when I gave a correct answer the customer just walked away, there was nothing to show that I had succeeded.
Still a very interesting idea and given a bit more time i'm sure it could be a great game.
The graphics and mood tie in well together. I remember seeing one of these machines in just about every arcade I visited, though I don't think I ever saw one used. This game is has a very unique premise, which is pretty cool. I think it's a good take on the theme.
The distortion vignette on the camera did make it slightly difficult to read the text on the board behind Zoltanya and on the customers. It wasn't impossible to read, but disabling or fading out that distortion to better see the text and symbols would be nice.
This game was pretty interesting. Hope you can find time to fix the web version's display bug. I think some folks might miss out if they play a broken version of the game.
