LCD Boy
This is my submission for Panther Jam 2025. I created a game similar to the old Game & Watch games that used a segmented liquid-crystal display overlayed artwork to make a simple game.
The name of this game is Rain, and the goal is to catch the raindrops in your bucket and pour it out before losing all of your lives. If a raindrop hits the ground or a full bucket, you will lose a life. You will get 1 point when a raindrop makes it into your bucket. emptying your bucket at 1/3 will get you 2 points, 2/3 will get you 6 points, and 3/3 will get you 10 points, so go for emptying that full bucket.
The game has 2 modes. It will begin in demo mode simmular to that of time mode for a Game & Watch, pressing start will start the game. Pressing reset will take you back to the demo mode.
Also, the onscreen buttons work with a mouse or touch if you want to play on mobile.

A cute little LCD-style game. Sometimes the drops moved at different speeds, and it was impossible to catch both drops at the same time. Other than that, a pretty accurate rendition of what Game and Watch games were like
Yes, that was intended, but I didn't have time during the game jam to add a state where the drop hits the ground and starts the level over. I feel this would have flowed better than just taking a life.
