All work and no play

I've been working on the railroad Minigame Mayhem for the Virtual Boy. I went back and fixed some previous games and stuff.

On the left is what "Cartful Dodger" looked like and on the right is the newer version.

The black lines on the floor of the previous version looked like crap in motion, so I got rid of them. I also made the displays of food nicer with more detail. But the game just needs something else. I got 175 points on it, but I felt like I could play forever. The game is my attempt at a "Grand Prix" or "Street Racer" type game for the Virtual Boy. But I don't know what to add to make the game better.

 

I also got rid of a bug I found which made the menu disappear. I've worked so much. I don't really like playing the Virtual Boy all that much since the eye guard tickles my nose. I guess I could take it off and play it that way, but there really isn't a game I like enough to justify playing it. (So I started making my own!)

 

One thing I would like to do is figure out the scaling effect. I have some code which works, but I need to understand it in order to attempt anything. I have an idea in mind for an intro for all my future VB games that would use a scaling effect.
