This was super charming! The minigames were creative and had that janky-but-fun spirit that made the era so special. Loved the visual style too, it really stands out.
Do you post about your games anywhere else, like social media or a personal site? Or maybe put them in itch.io bundles? I feel like a lot more people would love this if they saw it. Would be awesome to see it in a Halloween-themed bundle next year if you end up revisiting it!
Also, small Scratch tip in case it helps with your vibe: if the default orange number displays ever feel out of place, you can actually hide them and make a custom display using sprites. One way is to switch costumes based on the value of your variable, or even use say blocks from a sprite with a styled text bubble. There's plenty of resources online that go into it in more detail. It's a bit more work, but it gives you full control over how it fits into the aesthetic.
Really loved this. Hope you got some well-earned rest after getting it out on time!
thank you for playing this! i post on most social media's and on my website. both are linked on my itch.io profile page!
i was considering something similar for the score's! my idea was more convoluted hahaha. your suggestion is much better! i decided due to the time-crunch not to mess much with the number displays though, and in the end, i kind of like having such a distinctly scratch visual present in the game, to show-off like "Yea! this game was made with scratch!!"
i have since moved onto Godot, so in the future, any UI will all be according to the game's aesthetic. Might revisit scratch for unrelated activities though.. its just so fun to work in!

Of course, it was a great experience!
Good to know! And now that you've said it, that really is the perfect way to show off the fact it was made in Scratch!
Looking forward to your upcoming work, no matter what game engine it's made in 😁
