Work at McDonald, the Authentic Fast Food Worker Experience

Contrary to what people told me when I was younger, I never did end up flipping burgers at McDonalds. I have missed out on some valuable life experience.

Fortunately developer developer at 127 has come along to provide us with a way of working at McDonalds from the comfort of our own homes with 'Work at McDonald'.

We of course all know that the singular of 'McDonalds' is 'McDonald', which is why this game is not called 'Work at McDonalds'.

You can tell this game is going to be good because even the main menu shows an exciting array of options, such as 'wallper', 'Gamepass' and 'Burger King'.

You start the game with a ludicrous amount of money and a severely negative customer happiness, just like my local McDonald.

This game is very challenging, as the first customer is always invisible for some reason. This means you can't see their order and must blindly try to guess until you hit on the correct item.

After you've served the invisible man, regular customers begin turning up and say things like 'Can I have a McDrink'. You must click on the correct item, to which they respond 'good job'. But beware, for if you serve the incorrect item the customer will proclaim 'It Karen time who is your manager'.

I enjoy the Burger King DLC of this game. It's exactly the same game but in Burger King instead of McDonalds, and there is the letter B everywhere. If you get an order incorrect in Burger King the customer will say 'wrong' and leave, accurately reflecting the contrasting clientelle of both McDonalds and Burger King.

There's also a Drive Thru DLC, which is exactly the same as McDonalds in every way.

The challenge of this game is mostly in deciphering what the poorly drawn food items actually are, but there are also some deep puzzles, such as trying to work out what the 'wallper' option of the main menu is actually for.

In conclusion, I have reached a new low making fun of a Scratch game that was probably made by a child. Here's hoping developer at 127 will eventually make it onto gamepass for real. Godspeed.

Play Work at McDonald on Itch IO.

FUCK HOUSE, When Bitsy Goes Weird

Bitsy Bitsy is an open source game engine that allows people to create little, low resolution worlds where you can walk around, collect things and talk to people. Its intent is very innocent, and it has enjoyed widespread popularity as a storytelling medium. Take for example, Tony Rawr , the story of a tiger who gets given a skateboard and makes lots of friends. It's a cute little innocent adventure and it may well inspire you to pick up a skateboard. Tony Rawr - a Bitsy game about getting a second hand skateboard and making lots of friends The open source nature of Bitsy means that people make many mods of it to extend the functionality, such as the 3D Bitsy Engine , or mods that allow music. It also leads to mods where the colours constantly shift and the screen has a lens distortion applied to give the game an incredibly uncomfortable feel, such as in FUCK HOUSE. FUCK HOUSE It's a short game, but boy is it memorable. The player walks to FUCK HOUSE. Inside FUCK HOUSE, there

Mouse's Playground, An Affront To All Mice Everywhere

Unity The rise of game engines such as Unity have democratised game development. Now, at least theoretically, anybody with enough drive can make their own indie games. To mixed success. Unity has had the misfortune of becoming synonymous with many, many bad games. Merely seeing the Unity splash screen is enough for some people to prepare themselves for an unpolished, poorly executed adventure in amateur game design. Mouses Playground is a game that falls firmly into this category. Mouses Playground I like to send this game to unsuspecting friends as a sort of prank. This is probably why nobody talks to me anymore. You play as an MS Paint drawing of a mouse. The goal is to collect cheese. I like the lonely vibes of Mouses Playground. You are isolated in this world, with bold coloured structures surrounding you. Somber piano music plays, reminiscent of The Sims 1 soundtrack. There is no rush. No danger. Just you and 100 cheeses. Mouse gazes upon the landscape When the player attempts to
