Fortune Catcher

Marion Esquian and Yowan Langlais might have created ‘the siblings simulator’ or, the ‘get closer to your crush game’. It’s an extremely simple concept that’s equally fun and just adorable.

The idea behind Fortune Catcher is excellent. It’s a two-player game in which each person controls a mechanical arm from a fortune teller kind of machine to catch a crystal ball. Whenever one manages to grab it, they get a fun little fortune.

The catch? Every new round you play randomizes the keyboard controls to the point where it’s impossible to play it without tangling hands, bumping shoulders and so on. Depending on how bad you want your whimsical fortune told, you might just have to literally ‘fight’ for the keyboard. How is that not fun?

Fortune Catcher is utterly adorable when taking into consideration the gameplay and the visual style. It’s actually quite rare that you see a game that has this much potential of bringing two people closer together.

Whether you play it with a buddy, brother or sister, female friend, girlfriend or future girlfriend, you get quality time out of it. Not to mention that the fortunes you receive range from cute to hilarious and psychology studies have proven that having a good laugh with someone allows you to bond on a deeper level.

Fortune Catcher is a great way to spend a good couple of minutes until your arms get sore, or your facial muscles start to hurt from laughing. Everyone should have this game close by.
