OH RIGHT YEAH I FORGOT!!!!!!  http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Looby/200993

WOW! Amazing! This is one of the best games on scratch, and I love the design of the menu screen.

You seem to have carefully crafted this - a full menu screen, bonus options like screenshots, even credits! 

What advice would you give others when getting started on a game like this?  Which parts did you struggle with and how could you approach that differently next time?

Well, my advice to scratchers who want to make an awesome game is this:

Think of some characters: Like a boss, some powerups, a main character and more!

Use the Maths: If you can stomach it, try making gravity or scrolling. this helps you make an awesome game.

Think of a story: Stories help when you're stuck for ideas.

ANIMATIONS: they are REALLY cool! In my next game, 'FluffBall And The Attack Of The FluffBots' which should be coming out spring 2009, (download it!) there are shedloads of anims. YAY!

I struggled with the main menu, because at first there was no main menu, so i had to connect it to the game somehow. there are still some glitches, so beware.
