Overview
Description

Gotcha is a two‑player arcade maze game where one player controls the Pursuer (a square) and the other controls the Pursued (a plus sign). The maze scrolls on screen and the Pursuer must navigate toward the Pursued while a beeping tone rises in pitch as they get closer. When the Pursuer catches the Pursued, a point is awarded and the chase restarts instantly. The simple control scheme and escalating sound create a tense, competitive experience that rewards quick thinking and spatial awareness.

Kirby's Pinball Land puts the beloved pink hero into a fast‑paced pinball adventure. Choose a world, launch Kirby, and bounce through tables filled with enemies, pitfalls, and hidden surprises as you race toward the boss on each floor. The game blends classic pinball mechanics with Kirby’s whimsical fantasy setting, delivering arcade‑style fun for all ages. Each table presents unique challenges—from lethal eyeballs to shooting trees and mace‑wielding foes—requiring precise timing and strategic aiming. Single‑player mode lets you master each world’s layout and aim for high scores while enjoying the colorful, action‑packed experience.
