Re: Maxxy's Game Reviews (I felt like it)

For mine, could you replace the category story with graphics please? Mine hasn't got a story, but it's better without one! Thankyou.

Re: Maxxy's Game Reviews (I felt like it)

Generation: 4001 Gold
Graphics: 10/10
I'd be lying if I said that these graphics weren't good. They aren't the best, for for Scratch, they are good.

Gameplay: 40/50
Gameplay can get really repetitive, but it's also very fun.

Sound/music:10/10
The sound effects are good, and the music is good.

Creativity: 7/15
While it's pretty fun, I've seen many more on scratch, and you've made multiple ones before this.

Fun: 9/15
While it's fun at first, it can get repetitive the more you play.

Overall:
76%  C
This game is good, but it's no masterpiece like others say.


It's my birthday. Deal with it.

Re: Maxxy's Game Reviews (I felt like it)

Well in terms of repetitiveness, you could say that about any game if you play it too many times. Plus, because you have over 50 objects and over 11000 tiles to build each city on I'd of thought it would be a long while before you built everything.

In terms of creativity, on scratch no one has ever gone far enough in their city games to make as many functional objects, such as the utilities and services. Also, how many scratch games have you seen with an advisor who gives out prioritised tips?

Finally for fun, it's similar to what I said about the repetitiveness. Sure you need to lay out a lot of roads and zones as you get started, however, because of the amount of space and starting resources you have, you can do this in almost any way you like. 11025 tiles ^ 57 objects = 2.6036349577592420520463135993955e+230 possibilities! Plus, don't get me started on the things which keep you busy such as pollution, traffic, fire, crime, education, health, garbage and so on! How many other scratch city games include them?

Other than these points I totally agree  big_smile

Re: Maxxy's Game Reviews (I felt like it)

Alien Chase:

Graphics: 8/10
All the graphics are nice, and well put together, but I have to take away some points because the people are stick people.

Gameplay: 30/50
The Gameplay works, but where ever you go, you will get hit.

Music/sounds: 5/10

There is only one sound effect/music track, I even though its good, I found it very underwhelming.

Creativity: 12/15

I haven't played a game yet where you are an alien escaping. I like the idea.

Fun: 5/15

I didn't really have fun with this. I kept dieing every few seconds and I couldn't have fun.

Overall:
60% D

I tried to like this game. I really did. But I couldn't appreciate everything it ahd, and I found it very underwhelming.


It's my birthday. Deal with it.

Re: Maxxy's Game Reviews (I felt like it)

secretmapper/Scratch Wars

Graphics: 13/15

The graphics are nice. My only gripe is that they are simple shapes.

Gameplay: 40/50

It's nice. I like the controls and how you used each button that you could.

Music/sounds: 6/10

The music is catchy, and good. I only have a problem and thats the only sound effect in the game.

Creativity: 10/15

I don't really know what to say here. I thought that using something that looked like a U to shoot shapes was creative, I guess.

Fun: 5/15

I didn't have fun with this. I found it really repetitive and shooting was a little delayed.

Overall:
74% C

I liked this game a little bit. When it was low, it was low. But when it was high, it was high.


It's my birthday. Deal with it.

Re: Maxxy's Game Reviews (I felt like it)

Extreme Asteroid Dodge

Graphics: 5/10

The only nice part about it are the meteors and missles, but even those are a little bit lacking.

Gameplay: 10/50

All you have do do is hide in the middle of the bottom. Not good game design.

Sounds/music: 0/10

There are no sound effects or music in this game.

Creativity: 5/15

I've seen this concept done a lot before. Nothing new except for missles.

Fun: 0/15

I had no fun with this game, because all I had to do was hide, so then I left it there for a long time. No fun.

Overall:
20%F

I couldn't really find anything good about this. Everything was EXTREMELY lacking and underwhelming.

Re: Maxxy's Game Reviews (I felt like it)

Stickman Survival

Graphics: 4/10

Its stick figures and easily drawn shapes.

Gameplay: 20/50

It's very bland. Nothing really special with it.

Music/sounds: 0/10

The music is annoying, and irritating to the ears.

Creativity: 5/15

Dodging games are common. Really common.

Fun: 7/15

I had a little bit of fun, but not much.

Overall:
36%F

This game didn't really have to much to offer. It was "eh" at best, but nothing really that good.
