Fair Game Overview
Fair Game was one of those simple, straightforward titles you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick diversion, the kind of game you'd load up in a browser tab between other tasks. It presented two distinct carnival-style challenges in a single package, which was a common and effective format for short play sessions.
You control a cursor, using it to interact with each mini-game. In one, you try to hook rubber ducks as they float by on a conveyor. In the other, you aim at moving targets in a shooting gallery. Your main objective is simply to score as many points as possible across both games before time runs out. The mechanics are immediate; you click to hook or shoot, with a scoreboard tracking your progress. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty comes from the increasing speed of the targets. It feels like a test of simple, reflexive hand-eye coordination more than anything else.
