Fren Ship Sailor
What shall we do with a Bootleg Sailor?
You rescue a bootleg console from being thrown out of a thrift shop. The cartridge label is torn, the controller is bizarre and the electricity is faulty. You decide to play it at the repair desk while making sure the system doesn't self destruct!
Made for Fren Jam, this game is a simulator of the wild side of retro gaming. An era where the cheaper alternatives, for many, were the only option.

Chunky, simple, and a delight on the eyes. Love everything about this.
Really cool idea and execution of the theme, it's very highscore based and having to try to juggle more than the game is fun ! I wish there was a little more to it but for something made in two weeks this definitely ones of my faves
