User:GRAND-DUCHY/sandbox/Juanito Arcade Mayhem

Juanito Arcade Mayhem is a "pang" shoot'em up game developed and published by Game Ever Studio on August 3, 2017 for mobile and Microsoft Windows.

It is a game about an arcade games lover kid called Juanito, which is suddenly transported to inside the arcade and travels through many places to eliminate the so-called "Clonocells".

Plot
Juanito has an arcade at his home, and it seems that he is addicted to it. He is seen playing a game like crazy. Gluk (his UFO-monster friend) is seen cheering him.

However, some thunderbolt appeared out of nowhere... and he is transported to inside the arcade!

Juanito's objective is to eliminate the Clonocells. Gluk assists Juanito by giving his pistol to him and hints and guidelines to progress.

Gameplay
The shmup gameplay is inspired on games like Super Pang and Pang Adventures (hence the "Pang" genre). This means that there are big sized spheres that divides and gets smaller when shot.

Stages

 * Blockits: Inspired on Tetris.
 * Arkadroid: Inspired on Arkanoid.
 * Wonderland: Inspired on Adventure Island / Bouken Jima.
 * Pill Man: Inspired on Pac-Man.
 * Snow Sises: Probably inspired on Ice Climbers.
 * Boing: Inspired on Pong.
 * Kung Fu Blast: Probably inspired on Yie-Ar Kung Fu.
 * Monkey Gong: Inspired on Donkey Kong.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Literally mh:besttvshows:Channel Chasers (The Fairly OddParents)... except it's with video games! Juanito travels through many worlds, which are references to (parodies of) well known franchises in the industry.
 * 2) Non-stop action. The stages are very likely to shake, tilt and make artifacts suddenly appear, which is part of the agitation and epicness.
 * 3) *That being said, however, this is not recommended for people with photossensitive epilepsy.
 * 4) Although this one can be divisive, many things that seems to be an unfairness or a glitch are actually intentional, because not only Gluk describes them but there are also "anti-achievements" that explains about. This is part of the game's humor.
 * 5) *In Wonderland, the adventurers will be throwing axes, which affects both Clonocells and Juanito.
 * 6) Absolute soundtrack (despite being mostly remixed versions of iconic existing video game OSTs), consisting mainly of electronic music and subgenres Dubstep and Drum'n'Bass. If you like that kind music, this games is for you.
 * 7) Unlike many indie games, which have pixel-art visuals, the graphics here are based on an stereotyped/inaccurate view of retro games by many TV-Y7 (C8) animated shows.
 * 8) Also available for free on Android and iOS, although simplified. Something like Persona 3 Portable compared to Persona 3 (vanilla or FES).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Most importantly, the game's developer probably (big time!) did not ask permission for the franchises' respective owners for usage and/or references. This is enough to result in a massive lawsuit and eventual delisting.
 * 2) Overuse of FL Studio stock resources, with barely any editing. Another reason for an eventual lawsuit and delisting.
 * 3) It lacks an autofire option, since tapping the Shoot button over and over again is not very ergonomic.
 * 4) Very disappointing ending (after defeating the final boss).

Trivia

 * The development studio behind this game is also responsible for the short movie El Gatito, available on YouTube. Take a look here.
