Press E to auto-pickup balls. No more looking down!

As much as I love the arcade, having to look down to pick up a ball every other second KILLS the experience for me. The Offering has this exact feature I want but it’s completely missing from other ball based arcade activities.

Casino games have hotkeys because having to pull that leaver every single time would get super annoying, so it’s painful this QoL shortcut is missing from most of the arcade games. :expressionless:

I have spent a good while searching for a quote with no luck, but I recall hearing that the picking up of balls in only certain games is intentional, as you’re meant to look down to retrieve the balls in something like Super Hoopers. To me, it’s in the same way that Lonely Gun 30XX intentionally removes your crosshair - that change is part of what gives the games their challenge. I think Hoopers would be a very different game if you could send the balls out effortlessly like you can in Avalanche.

This is part of the challenge. Otherwise you’ll always be lined up perfectly each toss.

What about for games like basket ball? The goal is moving around.

the problem with this is sometimes you don’t know where your centre is in. thus, the best solution is to increase the pickup distance for the balls or let people know where there are aiming right now.

I know this suggestion was shot down immediately but this is a compromise I can get behind because I feel like there should be some kind of change. The current system of looking down every two seconds is just repetitive and annoying. An increased pickup hitbox range kinda of deal would be nice.

Also again like in my last post I don’t understand why you can’t auto-pickup in the basketball game since the hoops moves around. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
