Tricky minigames designed using just three rectangles. Fail. Fail. Fail.
Once you've got the idea, press M for different game modes - streaks, high scores, and individual games.
Let's see if anyone can beat my 12-shot streak in basketball.

Well, won every minigame. At first I thought it was going to quick, but the repetition made it easier. Acctually quite fun!
I enjoyed - basketball one was the toughest I thought, with golf a close second. Didn't fail a single driving game though.
Can't access any of the binaries. Web works.
arcades are rare and hard to execute as you need to put soo much work into them. you've done well and the minimalism certainly helped. good work.
i failed. almost everytime.
Really interesting use of minimalism. The basketball game was probably the hardest one.
Very nice, I like the idea of minigames following certain design restrictions (like using only three rectangles). The game modes make this game more interesting.
This really suits the theme. Awesome idea, similar to Wario Ware on the Nintendo Platforms.
The three rectangles on screen at any one time was a really interesting limitation to put on yourself, and it resulted in multiple fun quick games to play. Well done.
Very much like Warioware. I love your self-imposed restrictions on the art.
It seems that sometimes, Basketball is impossible. I'm probably wrong, but that's the impression I'm getting. Other than that, great game! Could use more minigames, but then again, it was only a 72 hour jam.
That game destroy my self esteem, heehehe.
Great mini-games you have here. Minimalistic at all.
Loved it! Spent more time playing this than most of the other games I've played (100+). Great job in keeping with the theme, but keeping it fun!
Not bad, but somwhow I never know exactly what button to use for each action... that could be refined in a future version!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Love the simplicity.
