Wednesdays Mobile vs BOUNCE

Like so many children, Tim was a victim of sexual abuse. Twenty years later, while playing Orco Park, a videogame from his childhood, his memories will come rushing back along with a flood of questions : How could this have happened? Who knew? How has it shaped him? What does “normal” even mean? Written by Pierre Corbinais (Haven, Road 96: Prologue, Bury Me, My Love), Wednesdays seeks to raise awareness about child sexual abuse through a surprisingly uplifting story. A mosaic of stories and characters Wednesdays tells a fragmented story through multiple perspectives. Build rides and embellishments in Orco Park to unlock Tim’s memories in the order you see fit. Step into the shoes of Tim’s relatives and try to piece together the tangled memories of his past. Unveil a moving and sincere story dealing with intrafamilial sexual abuse without any taboo but with a lot of heart. Two colorful art styles for the price of one Wednesdays blends two distinct yet complementary art styles. Tim’s memories come to life through the work of comic artist Exaheva (Mekka Nikki, Still Heroes) and draw inspiration from alternative comics and graphic novels. Orco Park is designed by pixel artist Nico Nowak (There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension), evoking the charm of 90s classic video games. A game everyone can play Part video game, part graphic novel, Wednesdays has been designed to be accessible to players of all kinds, and even non-players! A wide range of settings ensure that the experience can be tailored to suit anyone’s needs. Authentic voices Wednesdays doesn’t just aim to break the silence around child sexual abuse, it also provides a platform for several of its team members to have they voices heard, as artists, and as victims. The game does not include any graphic representation of sexual abuse, and even if its topic might sound grim, Wednesdays is above all about trust, hope and healing. Meet the devs!

One ball. One paddle. Three lives. The ball speeds up with every hit. After seventy hits it is three times as fast as it started, and no faster — faster would not be harder, only unfair. From 60 hits the paddle begins to shrink. By 110 it is a little under half its starting width, and there it stays. From 40 hits a second ball joins, from 85 a third, from 130 a fourth. Each one slows down in return: two balls at the speed of one are not hard, they are impossible. If you would rather keep to a single ball, switch it off before you start. There is a block at the top for the ball to bounce off. On an iPhone with a Dynamic Island it sits exactly beneath it — the ball then bounces off the cutout itself. Three lives. You do not get one back. After every ball you lose it counts down from three before play resumes.
