The Quarter Game
Meet Mayu Shirokawa! You can call her Mashiro, like all of her friends do! Today is her chance to grab the title as the CEO of the company she works for! How? Simple! Her CEO has been kidnapped. All she has to do is to save her CEO. Maybe the CEO will be convinced to give away the title at the end. But here's the catch. She's up against the deadliest black market dealers in the world. This means she'll have to fight crazy people with guns, mutated crab heads, and bio-engineered wolves! Players will be presented with a strange mixture of top-down hack 'n slash, beat 'em up, and bullet hell elements in this fast paced speedrunnable game.
Features
• Get a cooler quarter and make it shine to reflect enemy projectiles!
• Wavedashing!
• Fight against people who permanently replaced their heads with crabs!
• Learn how donuts can bring your friends closer!
Development History
In 2014, ChairGTables wanted to develop an action RPG called Wave Shine! that focuses on a competitive Melee tech known as waveshining. The project, however, was thrown into development hell for years. In her last semester of college, she decided to develop a game as her senior project featuring one of the characters from Wave Shine! This game is called Super Ledgehop: Double Laser. Though Super Ledgehop is a game by itself, it serves as a prototype to Wave Shine! for the sake of understanding long ranged combat in a top down view in the style of a bullet hell, but without the scrolling shooter aspect. Soon, one of the assignments was to develop a prototype for their senior projects. This is when the team decided to create a prototype in 24 hours, as it was in time for the Extra Life 2017 marathon.

Trivia
• Steam won't let Chair sell the game for under a dollar.
• Steam also won't let Chair discount the game to under 50 cents. Years later, Steam now won't let Chair discount it under 75 cents, much to Chair's sadness.
• The Quarter Game both serves as a prototype to Wave Shine! and Super Ledgehop. Since Mashiro is one of the characters in Wave Shine, it serves as way for the developers to understand Mashiro's close combat mechanics within a bullet hell.
• The Quarter Game was also used for ChairGTables to train Sonii and David on how to develop games so they can prepare for Super Ledgehop.
• Though somewhat treated as a prototype for future games, The Quarter Game is LAME Dimension's first game to be sold on Steam.
