Masquerades vs Impostors

Why We Picked Masquerades vs Impostors

The route through Masquerades vs Impostors is the game: steering with the arrow keys, with checkpoints close enough that a mistake costs seconds. A run ends at the hazard rather than at a menu, and the retry puts you within sight of the mistake. The levels are short because the fun is in the route, not the length. Its 176 plays are modest, which is what happens to a game asking for attention rather than reflexes. By the numbers: 5.0 out of 5 from 3 ratings, and 449 of 500 on the arcade shelf.

How to Play

The game is small enough to explain in three lines:

• Arrow keys move you and nothing else needs mapping.
• The level points you at the exit; the work is the route between here and there.
• Look at the whole screen before moving; the exit is usually drawn rather than signposted.

Editor’s Note

There is nothing to install and nothing to keep, which suits the length. The games here are short enough that the back button is a reasonable way to leave one unfinished.
