Pocket Arcade
Pocket Arcade is a walk-in arcade cabinet on a little paved square, glowing purple as the evening arrives. A neon ONE MORE TRY sign buzzes over the door, and the screen inside shows a high score of 0042.
Bit lives inside the cabinet. Bit is trying to reach level two and, as Bit will happily tell you, designed level one. There is a START button under the screen, a PLAY sign on a pole by the wall and a little bonus offer above the cabinet.
Step in and Bit gives you one extra life for whatever side project you are bravely starting. It is a page with a bit of play in it: short, bold and a little bit lost in the best way.
