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.
Thanks for creating this and sharing it!!!

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'm interested in African culture, but I've never been to Ghana.
This project is useful for me, playing local games is much more immersive than reading about games. But some polish would help, too. Currently it's a project that's interesting to click through once, but I feel that it has a potential to be repeatedly playable.

I saw Ludo but no games of the mancala family (Wari, Bao, etc).

I was born in Ghana but we left just before I turned four. So the only game in the list I'm familiar with is oware, since we took a board with us. It's kinda nice to see what kind of games I would have learned if my family had stayed longer :)

The Ghana games are soccer and, if this is an accurate representation, this is way more infrastructure than we had in Europe back in the day.
Only rich kids had actual soccer balls(which they just carried around) we played with flattened beverage cans.

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 like the music. Nice that you give credit to the artist too.
