Game Ratings!

I'd like to thank TheBlueRocky for the idea. Mine will be just like his, except I'll be doing animations, art, and dress-ups too. Basiclly i'll judge in categories. each category has a max of 10 points, but it changes due to the type of game. here are the categories:

Graphics
Programming
Plot
Music

Please comment!

This is very good! Usually i'm not a fan of the gradient tool in graphics, but you use it well. I like how you get a different colored one each time. I think an option to choose you color would be cool! (I like the lime Green ones XD )
The programming is also quite simple, yet impressive. The money appearing randomly is a nice touch and you used the ghost effect to your advantage. You also probably used the brightness effect> I like how the room looks with the lights off. You did a great job on this!  big_smile

This game was enjoyable, but only for a short while. The scrolling menu was a nice touch. However I think you should have included some media in there so there were atleast one or two songs/pictures already, so clicking on the ion wouldnt be such a waste. I'm sorry to say but your graphics are quite poor. You over-shaded the outfit of the character yet added no shading whatsoever to the other parts. Also, the graphics on the scroller were horrific. No one will pay attention to the fact that you added sensors until you add shading and texture to make it look better. I agree with TheBlueRocky in this case, that scoller/platformers aren't that great. That's really all I have to say.

Can you make the character customizer?
Also I need the style the same (like none of the body parts connected) for a app.

Dude, of course i can! That's my specialty! I can even make the sprites run and jump for the game! No prob. You may want to set up a thread in collaborations though.

Re: Game Ratings!

This one is for randomnumber53's game Planet Defense V2

Graphics 6/10
Programming  9/10
Plot  5/10
Music  6/10

Overall: -26/40- -3.5 Stars- -69%-

Your game was really fun! The music was catchy too, but it got  irritating after a while. The title screen was incredible! It got me feeling, "I HAVE to play this." When I started, I was a little less impressed. I'm more of a fan of arrow keys instead of WASD, so you may want to add that option for people who tend to use thier left hand XD The graphics are quite good, but the coin and planet sprites looked a little different. You should have put a more fitting coin sprite. The enimies looked super cool! But the shop menu could use work, and so could the bullets. Also, in what appears to be level 3, it looked really awkward how the brown spots clashed with the texture and colour of the planet. But it did get about 70% overall, so props to you!

The programming is pretty advanced, but the artwork is beyond horrific. You could have at least used the fill bucket gradient tool, or put in a decent background from the internet. I have to say, the two player mode was the best looking, most advanced part of the game. I wish you would have added programming to make the ball bounce a little, like how it does in the title screen. The third game was very glitchy. Why don't you just apply the scripts from your other games? I'm sorry for rating you down this much. I really hope you take this to mind to make the next version better.

In the world of color-sensing platforms, the four most common colours are Red, Green, Blue, and Black. Usually, red makes you die,  green/black is safe, you slow down in blue. I am extremely proud of you that you made the twist of red being the safe colour! Impressive!  big_smile
But colour choices aside, you did quite poorly on the graphics. I can tell exactly how you did it. Rectangle tool, Elipse tool, and fill bucket gradient. Very common, very poorly used. I notice that the background happens to be a completely different style than the foreground. I see yours is a remix, but the original has been deleted by the creator. Could it be that the scripts, menu, and background were taken?

The platformer script is advanced, but I think that may be from the original. Oh well, it is "Imagine, Program, Share", is it not? I suggest studying the scripts so maybe you can build a game entirely by yourself. See how everything works, and make changes according to your idea.

And remember, Just because your overall is about halfway to the best i've seen, it doesnt mean it sucks. You did really well, so turn that frown upside down! You asked for constructive critisism, no?  wink

EDIT: Also, you say 'Music Added' in the title, yet I hear nothing. Is that a glitch?

Keep working on those platforms! Scratch on!

Sorry to dissapoint, but I disliked your game. I don't really like it when people take nintendo graphics. Also, everything was mainly just text tool. I wish you would have added colors and images. I wouldn't have even minded if you googled backgrounds and shrunk them! Anything is better than plain.

The programming was a baby step better than the graphics. Broadcast and responce. Simple, but efficient. Sprites show and hide, and everything is good programming-wise.

The music was the best part of yours, the most catchy, attention-grabbing part! It is a compliment, but is also a warning. If the music was just one point better, people would have been distracted from the whole project altogether!

Try to just use music as a canvas, then use scripts and sprites to paint your picture.
Thus, a healthy balance of media is born!

Please dont give up. Keep trying, ok? And if you ever need help with graphics you know who to ask! (Me! I'll always help!)

Scratch on!

The graphics are nintendo 'cuz I couldn't use any from the Internet, otherwise my parents would kill me. I just used the ones from the original project.

EDIT: I made a collab for it about a week ago. It's here.

I figured that may be the case. If you need, you can link an image to me and i'll make a project of it for you. And i'll try the collab, but I may wait until after the hurricane.

Your game was actually very good. I liked the initial animation with the text. The graphics were very simple yet you managed to make them enjoyable and interesting with the shading on the other faces of the cubes. The programming was good, but it seemed like it was a beginner's level. There were many glitches, like how you are unable to jump off the elevator, and when you are moving along the ground you are always, ever so slightly changing the Y axis quickly, giving the player a shivering animation. This seemed pretty strange. The plot was ok, and I really liked how you did the lives with pictures instead of variables. Good job!

Remember, even in the best game ever, there's always room for improvement.
Thanks, and scratch on!

Thanks for rating! I will try to fix the glitches, although I have no idea how to fix ROBOcube's "shivering", and why he does that. The elevator thing I think I'll be able to fix for version 1.4, now that I've realized that it needs to get fixed, and I agree with you that the level of difficulty is pretty low. I am not the best at creating levels, but I will try to add harder levels in following versions.
