My Arcade Repair Shop - Demo

Foreword

This is the demo for "My Arcade Repair Shop," or MARS for short. While it's not finished in any capacity, I've done my best to make the basic gameplay and mechanics for you to explore and play with.

The game is currently in early phases of development, but if you'd like to see the game reach its full potential and help it get to a released state, please consider supporting me and the game on my Patreon

If you run into any issues or problems with the game, or if you'd like to give feedback and suggestions (which I would love to hear!), please consider joining the game's Discord server to let me know. Alternatively, you can also use the in-game bug report tool to message me directly!

Notes about the game:

• More machines and jobs are planned
  
• The first job is a test job that shows all the available repair tasks a job can have
• The second has randomized tasks every time (though it only has one broken item, so you'll see the same repair task every time)
• The third job has a fixed set of repair tasks
• More locations you can buy and rent are planned
• More decorations are planned
• Linux build is untested, proceed with caution
