Games Like 1st Prize's Basics The Old School of Failure Cloning

1st Prize's Basics The Old School of Failure Cloning is a wild ride that feels like flipping through a forgotten VHS tape of early 2000s indie experiments. It throws you into a surreal mix of retro aesthetics and fragmented gameplay styles, where each level seems to parody or pay homage to a different era of gaming. You might start with a clunky platformer, then suddenly shift into a text-based puzzle or a rhythm challenge with barely any warning. The jank is part of the charm, and once you lean into the absurdity, it becomes weirdly satisfying to push through its intentional failures. There's a strange rhythm to the chaos, and uncovering how far the developers were willing to take the joke is half the fun. It's not polished, but if you love digging into meta, self-aware games that mock gaming tropes while celebrating them, this one lingers in your mind long after you laugh at its nonsense.
