About Ahlman Arcade 2018

Ahlman Arcade 2018 is a collection of games made by the game industry students at Ahlman Institute.

All games were made during our ten month long school year as a joint effort between the programmers and graphic designers. The time spent developing each game varied, with some being made in a week or so and others taking over ten weeks to develop.

Our games have a diverse selection of different genres, ranging from colorful platformers and collect-a-thons to sport games, horror mysteries, racing games and bullet hell manias.

They can be found on the consoles and cabinets scattered about inside the Ahlman Arcade itself, so try to find and play them all!In the Ahlman Arcade you can…
  • Behold the Main Project Room, where we’ve placed our most valued and treasured game projects
  • Take in the nostalgia in the Gamer Room or the Arcade Hall, and play games on old-school consoles and cabinets
  • Visit the Museum of Graphics, and have a look at the artwork our graphic designers have made
  • Find the hidden basement, and see what horrors await within…
\In the Main Project Room you can…
  • Race against the clock or your friends in Deadline (local split-screen multiplayer only)
  • Look out for birds and boulders in the 3D bullet hell adventure Dragon’s Fodder
  • Delve deep into the gruesome horror story of Going Home…

In the Gamer Room you can…
  • Help Doctor Nestor save or destroy the last of animal-kind in the post-apocalyptic world of Dr. Nestor’s Ark
  • Enjoy a baseball-themed, classic 2D platformer with BallCat’s Homerun
  • Jump on leaves and stars, and see how high you can go in Corgi Jumper
  • Collect all the berries in the low-poly scenery of Fox’s Berry Adventure
  • Escape your fate as a child’s toy and sneak around the patrolling robots in Ungifted Bunny

In the Arcade Hall you can…
  • Have a Disc Golf Experience unlike ever before (VR version published separately)
  • Join the grumpy Mr. Potato in the quest to save your spuds in Mr. Potato Runner
  • Play a nerve-wracking game of cat-and-mouse in the bullet hell mania Top Hat Cat
  • Avoid barrels, trees, tables and bears as you run in Ms Woman Runner
  • Test your dodging skills in the spooky bullet hell Shadow Glider
Thanks to our mentor Risto Koskenkorva, who helped us in everything (programming, implementation, bug fixing, Blender and so forth) and Jani Rajahalme, who carried Ahlman Arcade 2018 to the end.

Ahlman Arcade 2018 is an unusual compilation that works more like an interactive student showcase than a traditional standalone game. Developed by Team in Time and published by Ahlman Game Studio, it brings together numerous projects created by game-industry students at Ahlman Institute. Because the individual games were produced by different teams and under different development schedules, the experience naturally varies in complexity and polish. That inconsistency is noticeable, but it is also fundamental to the collection's appeal, allowing players to see a wide range of ideas, genres, artistic approaches, and technical experiments gathered within one package. Instead of presenting everything through a basic selection screen, the collection places its games inside an explorable virtual arcade. Players can wander between different areas and approach machines containing individual projects, making browsing part of the experience. The Main Project Room, Gamer Room, and Arcade Hall organize much of the playable material, while the Museum of Graphics highlights artwork created by the student artists. There are also less obvious areas to discover, including a hidden basement that int…

Игра "Ahlman Arcade 2018" – это забавная и ностальгическая коллекция мини-игр, стилизованных под аркадные автоматы 80-х и 90-х. Визуально привлекательная и нарочито пиксельная графика отлично передаёт атмосферу ретро-игр. Геймплей прост и понятен, но при этом затягивает. Легко начать, но сложно достичь высоких результатов, что стимулирует возвращаться и играть снова. Разнообразие игр достаточное, чтобы найти что-то на свой вкус: от платформеров и головоломок до shoot 'em up. Каждая игра обладает своей уникальной механикой и вызовом. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично дополняет визуальный стиль и создаёт ощущение аутентичного аркадного опыта. Несмотря на простоту, игра предлагает соревновательный элемент благодаря таблице лидеров, где можно сравнивать свои результаты с другими игроками. Единственный минус, возможно, заключается в отсутствии более подробных объяснений правил некоторых игр, но это легко решается методом проб и ошибок. В целом, "Ahlman Arcade 2018" – это отличный способ скоротать время и вспомнить золотую эпоху аркадных автоматов. Рекомендую всем любителям ретро-игр!

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
