Arcade Ideas! (Games, Collectables, Etc.)

Hello there! So being the a guy addicted to Tower Unite and thinking of new ideas, I came up with a couple things for the arcade, And i understand this might be a while for the update, However giving the ideas may help and add more things into it so why not post stuff now! :smiley:

So first idea!

Test Your Strength! - This consists in the game of hitting a lever with a hammer to send a bar up as far to the bell as possible, Simple game.
This could be applied by using a bar this is continuously changing in power level fast so it a matter of clicking at the right time, Also a direction could be applied by the camera swaying left to right and up and down with an aim area as if holding the hammer is heavy making the player move, Therefore the hit must as centered as possible to get a good score!
What you can get from this is basic tickets, Or prizes based on the power level you reached!
You should also have to pay credits for this attraction!

Little Children Rides?! - OK, We all love to jump onto those little rides for kids where you pay 50p to go back and forth for a minute, So why not let us release our inner child once more by adding it in!
It could use unique models/references in the game to ride like cars, Boats or something like that!

Claw Machines - I believe a lot of people have suggested this, So i won’t go into details unless asked

Coin Pushers - Again a lot of people have suggested this.

Slot Machines - I understand we have a Casino on the way, However these machines take credits to win tickets and could therefore maybe be more based towards cartoon or game themes that already exist - For example!
Accelerate slots would be based like a normal arcade machine with a spin, Hold and nudge system but certain symbols on the spin can give you a chance to get to a jackpot or bonus (Normally these are like numbers next to a symbol saying how much you progress with the mini game above). What it would do it is move you along on the board lighten up above the spin area and until you get to the point where you get a chance at the jackpot or smaller bonus in tickets.

Another example could be like the dragon one in the casino but instead suited for the virus, Where you have to kill zombies with your slot specials around a board style but also can summon more infected as a result! But the more zombies killed the more bonus tickets you get.

I like the thought of these type of machines as i use to play an Aladdin one, where you have to light up Aladdin’s name in order to get bonus. So i thought throwing in links to other parts of the games with the themes would be interesting too!

Capsule Dispensers! - This of course if you want to pay a couple credited for a little collectible item! They could be split up into themes and also have rarities and special holiday ones! This is because the only thing that would change in the holiday ones is the items you would get and not the machine mechanics.

Themes that could be collected are!
Small models of Virus Guns Or Character Models or things from the map
Small Race Cars and things from the map
Small Golf Collectibles like a mini flag or things from the map
Any of the future gamemodes
Chance of tickets!
All holidays that are wanted! (Of course this means it would have to be regularly worked on of course)

Note: These figures will be literally collectible mini figures and are not suppose to be furniture. But certain ones will be more rarer depending on what it is!

That is my ideas at the moment! Let me know what you think like always!
And also share your ideas too!

Test Your Strength: This is a nice game for an arcade, or even a little boardwalk attraction. Small things are nice too.
Kiddie Rides: Not really worth the time from a gameplay perspective, but in regards to comedic value, polish, and silly things to do, I would love to see this.
Claw Machines: Yes please I need it
Coin Pushers: I guess I need it?
Slot Machines: I think this would be kind of repetitive. If creative and productive effort would be put towards these for the arcade, I feel that the effort would be better spent making more slots for the Casino where they naturally belong; they just don’t fit the minigame sort of theme surrounding an arcade, where as in the Casino they fit with the theme of gambling. So, no thanks on this one.
Capsule Dispensers/Gachapon: Y E S P L E A S E

Overall nice suggestion, I agree on most of these. I dont know why I made a little list of em like this but yeah, yeah, I like this suggestion.

Yeah i know what you mean about coin pushers, However i believe they said it might not be possible and the same with claw machines.
However If they was able to add coin pushers, It could be so you get little collectible prizes and tickets from them instead of money back - Normally these prizes IRL are like keyrings, little figures, Cards and sweets. However i think these should not be bought in exchange for tickets or money at any store, But instead must be won like all things gotten from these games like the strength game, capsules and things. And the more they add, The more replayable it will be for everyone!

Thank you for your honest opinion about my suggestions.

I agree the kiddie rides would be more for comedic value and something to randomly do for a laugh which could be placed anywhere on the boardwalk and in buildings! Hell, they could even make it so you could buy one to ride in your house xD

Claw machines well they are always needed, However i don’t know if they will be able to do it.

Slot machines, Well the thing is. In the UK the main places you get slot machines are at arcades by beaches, Sure they are for gambling but then so is an arcade! Its a place for everyone to gamble instead of just adults, So these more childish slots with the minigame tie in themes could be made to be more suit a arcade feel.
Also now that they have a basic slot machine blue print from the casino, They can then use that to create more for both areas!

Now what would these slots look like? well i found an image!

See you have the slots with the buttons on the bottom which are spin, Collect, hold, nudge and gamble.
And on the top the mini game board style game which you go around which would be customized to the gamemode it would be like a racetrack!
And then the virus one would be more like the dragon one in the casino etc.

I hope you see what i was getting at :'3

So yeah! Thank you for your response, And also everyone elses too so far! :smiley:

I really like this one, especially the bit where the camera can have sway from the hammer being heavy. It’d put a challenging spin on it.

These might not exactly fit in the arcade, but it’d be amusing to see these around at some point.

Definitely something that should come along that might have exclusive plushes to be won in them.

It’d be really cool to see these, but I don’t know how well it could be handled, like if the coins would be synced up on the server, etc.

As entertaining as gamemode themed slot machines would be, I think we already have plenty of slot machine action in the Casino.

This would be pretty fun, and I think the season exclusive would put a fun spin on it when/if trading comes along at some point.

Very nice collection of ideas though. Great post :heart: :heart:

What kind of arcades do you go to? All there is in Middlesbrough is gambling arcades, and in Stockton we’ve got like one arcade at the local Hollywood Bowl, and then there’s the Namco Funscape at the Metrocentre in Gateshead. Although maybe the problem is that none of these places have beaches…

I like all of these ideas, but I agree with others saying that slots should stay in the casino. Not to say there shouldn’t be non-Unit-payout slots, because there could be a little side room full of slots that give out little prizes or something, but they’re still slot machines so I think they still fit better in the arcade. I like your thinking, though!

I would like to see claw machines and unique prizes based upon the game modes (EX: dragon plush toy, zombie action figure, golf ball, etc)

The Electric Chair arcade game is my pick. You have to mash the space bar in order to be alive. You can choose from Easy, Medium or Hard depending on the difficulty from the original.

I’d like to see them add a stacker arcade game, and it would be awesome if we could buy arcade machines to put in our condo and earn money from home even if its very little also if we could buy co op arcade games to put in our condo like a fighting game to play with your friends or just an arm wrestling minigame like in GTA Online. Edit : I Would also like to see a frogger type game

I believe there already is a Stacker machine.

As for home cabinets: I think we will be getting some machines to use in our condos, but they can’t award units since Pixeltail can’t really make sure people don’t cheat in their condos. However, in the plaza they have authentication systems.
