Boardwalk 0.9

The first release of Boardwalk: a seaside arcade of music games for the M-VAVE FM-1.

Walk along the boardwalk at golden hour (OCT− / OCT+), each cabinet playing its own tune over the sea, and step up to one with PLAY:

• Striker: ring the bell; strike as the pointer passes the mark asked
• Moles: whack-a-mole on the keys; a good run of whacks is a tune
• Balloons: hold to pump, let go on the ring, before the pop you can't see
• Tiles: songs on falling tiles (Ode to Joy, Für Elise, Greensleeves, Frère Jacques, Twinkle, Twinkle)
• Gull: through the pier's posts: flap, hold to climb, or sing your height
• Ducks: a shooting gallery by ear
• Teacups: tap on the waltz's beat; it never stops speeding up
• Fortune: Barnaby Brass answers a question asked in notes
• Parrot: play back the parrot's tune, a note longer each time
• Bumpers: dodgems; bump the cars low note to high
• Echo: call and response rhythms
• Claw: steer the claw to the toy the machine wishes for
• Pitch: perfect pitch, and a tuning duel
• Fishing: hook each fish on its note, reel with the tug
• Chord Code: find the chord's notes
• Coaster: the track is the melody
• Bells: change ringing: one bell of six or eight, handbells, or conducting

Every game pays tickets for a finished round; leaving, the cabinet feeds them out of its slot. The Prizes counter at the start of the row trades them for sixteen prizes, from a sticker (10) to a giant teddy (5000); the ones you own sit on the boardwalk's rail, and two of them, Night Sky and Fireworks, change the boardwalk itself.

Boardwalk speaks every screen to the FM-1 Screen Reader, and its screen can be mirrored on a computer.
