Bro-Cade
You hit the jackpot at the arcade, but your big brother's coming to take it all. Spend every ticket before he arrives!
This is your lucky day and the machines keep spraying tickets at you. Dodge them, weave behind cover, and race between prize counters to get your total down to zero before the timer runs out. Grab a jackpot ticket by mistake and your total balloons . Then it's a frantic scramble to spend the last few before your brother shows up.
HOW TO PLAY
Arrow keys or WASD to move. Walk into a prize counter to buy. Big prizes drain fast, cheap ones let you shed the last few tickets.
Get to zero before time runs out!

I only got 398 tickets taken from me. I like the game a lot because it really tricks your brain. Would you happen to have any tips on how to get the ticket counter all the way down to 0?
Thanks for playing! So far we have discovered two strategies:
1. Go to the 2500 one first, then to the 250 and then camp at the 5 trying to avoid tickets. Might have to go back between 250 and 5.
2. Actually try to get more tickets so that you can dump m quickly at the 2500 or 250 ones. We had some surprising success with this strategy!
