Romagna Games

Six arcade games in one day at the seaside. Ride your scooter down the promenade dodging families with prams and dogs on leads. Throw yourself down the longest slide on the coast. Stay up on the wave. Throw the frisbee and run to catch it mid-dive. Shoot hoops in the arcade at night, among the neon. And dive from the three-metre board in front of five judges who forgive nothing. YOU PLAY TOGETHER, PASSING THE PHONE Each game lasts ninety seconds. Whoever finishes passes the phone to whoever is waiting, the way it was done in front of the television. AND ON YOUR OWN IT STILL WORKS The podium is never empty: play alone and the other places are taken by opponents who race in your stead. There is always a score to beat. FIVE CHARACTERS, EACH ONE PLAYS DIFFERENTLY The agile one slips through where others crash. The strong one jumps higher. The stylish one scores better with the judges. And then there's the guy with the bluetooth speaker, who is wider than everyone and takes more hits than anyone. WHAT ISN'T IN IT No ads. No purchases. No accounts. No data collected: what you play stays on your phone. An open homage to California Games (Epyx, 1987), made by a father with his two daughters.
