Having grown up in Ghana, the first game I tried was chaskele.
Was expecting a reference to BBC (Bela Boys Company) somewhere. Rather disappointed not to find one.
Never mind any issues about playability etc. Just the fact that AI has allowed someone to create a project that will make many people think a little bit more about Ghana make me happy.

++++. It's remarkable that this is so doable these days! We just need someone to make a Squid Games: Ghana version and our games will be popular all over the world
I probably wouldn't have read an article about Ghanaian street games, but did learn about them from this. And even if I did, I wouldn't have internalized it without playing.
So while I won't come back to the same game because the gameplay isn't good enough, I think it really depends on what they are trying to accomplish.
Ha, ha - very entertaining.

As a Ghanaian, I think this is a cool concept but needs a lot of improvements to make it work.
Many controls don't work well. Might be better to focus on a few games and make dedicated UIs for them that are adapted to each game.
I guess it is a nice introduction to street games in Ghana though.
I just sit on the home screen, listening to the music and taking in the vibe. I don't even need to play a game. Very pleasant.
I saw Ludo but no games of the mancala family (Wari, Bao, etc).
Would definitely have expected to see Oware.
Oware is on the first page.
Thanks, I didn't actually look at the page, was responding to the (apparently incorrect) claim about the lack of sowing games. My bad.
All us Ghanaians coming out of the woodwork for this nostalgia bomb - these are fun. Congrats on the launch!
The idea is good but it looks like a one-shot AI slop. I think you should put much more effort into each game until releasing so many games.

I upvote creativity wherever I see it
I like the music. Nice that you give credit to the artist too.
Pretty fun! How did you create this? And why do the elbows look so funny? :D
You forgot poison
fellow Ghanaian here - this is really cool, good work.
send this prompt: make it easy to play, thanks in reggards.
I love this!
very cool :)
