Well I like the ideas of game reviews (now), but, I think game reviews should have a bigger comment! If you want to get a game reviewed and get a big comment, post here! I have so much time! tongue PS: I don't mark harsh, so it is ok smile Thank you!

Game

Loading time n/2.0

This matters, as some users will just leave the game altogether if it takes too long. Since there is almost nothing you can do, it is only a little of your mark!

Game picture n / 9

You need a good game photo to make viewers come!

Ease of use n / 7

If it is not easy to use, people have a hard time, and ultimately leave the game.

Title page (or eye catching beginning of game) n / 6

The game photo are very close to this. People leave if the game looks boring at first sight!

Transitions/Flow n / 3

Flow or transitions make the game better

Graphics n / 4.5

Graphics are important

Bugs -1.5 * n

Bugs are bad. People will leave if there are serious bugs. One bug subtracts your score by 1.5, 2 bugs 3, and so on.

Warnings -0.75 * n

Warnings are things that do not appear to be functioning as it should.

Audience Retention n / 8

Very Very important!!!

Sounds n / 4

Helps viewers stay longer.

Ideas n / 5

Things that tell what the game is about even though you don't see the title. Unique items XD

Bonus n

α n / 35
β n / 38
ς n / 10

Both α, β and ς calculate age group. They are not included in the final mark!
α is the children group.
β is the teenager group
ς is the adult group.

/41.71

The overall mark is not the real overall mark. It is only 86% of the real overall mark. I don't like marking out of the overall mark!

A IOS is different:

IOS

Loading time n/1.5

This matters, as some users will just leave the game altogether if it takes too long. Since there is almost nothing you can do, it is only a little of your mark!

Apps n / 8

Apps need to be bug free!

Graphics n / 7

Graphics are important

Bugs -1.2 * n

Bugs are bad. People will leave if there are serious bugs. One bug subtracts your score by 1.2, 2 bugs 2.4, and so on.

Loading time 2/2 --Very good! Not too long.

Game picture 4 / 9 --I hope you included a game picture! smile

Ease of use 7 / 7 --Not confusing!

Title page (or eye catching beginning of game) 3.5 / 6 --Making it mysterious big_smile

Transitions/Flow 1.2 / 3 --Please add transitions!

Graphics 2 / 4.5 --Simple shapes and not aligned items

Bugs -1.5 * 1

Warnings -0.75 * 1

Audience Retention 8 / 8 --I never left the game until the end XD

Sounds 4 / 4 --Sounds fit the actions!

Ideas 5 / 5 --Reloading actions were very smart!

Bonus 4 --Good job on the game!

α 19 / 35
β 24 / 38
ς 3 / 10

38.45/41.71

Wow. That was amazing! It must of taken you a long time, programming the paths, making the sprites and testing out the game! I understand that these games with a lot of sprites are very hard to debug, if something goes wrong, so very good job!

Game picture: The game picture is what picture will be shown to people browsing your projects. This picture will determine how many people go to your project. People will see if the game looks interesting and play the game if it is! Adding a game picture is very important smile

Transitions/Flow: The flow from when you lose all your lives to the ending of the game is nil. Transitions "refine" your game and make it better and appealing to the eye, so I suggest better transitions smile

Graphics: I understand this game took you a long time and maybe you wanted to make the costumes very fast so you can make the scripting part, good! Graphics help with the overall presentation of your game, and maybe you can make better graphics? (yes I know you tried adding graphics in) smile

Bugs: There was one bug. The boat sprite, if clicked on land, will show the upgrade items, even though it is not placed down.

Warning: The plane sprite, you used the glide brick to glide to the sprite. Gliding right to the sprite may be a little weird-looking. If you want to glide to a bug, and it reaches there, continuing to glide to he same bug causes the plane sprite to look glitchy.

Bonus: For creativity and for thinking outside the box, shown in the Reloading actions!

Audience retention: I never left the game until the end! I found it fun and entertaining!
