spritepocalypse

“ spritepocalypse is a very fast paced 3D fps on scratch. You are in a post-apolyictict world and you are trying to shoot all of the sprites (zombies?) without dying. ”

Game Design 9/10
“Spritepocalypse was a very well made game that I couldn't make at all! I like it”
The review is fine except for this section. Could you go into detail about what you actually liked about it, and where it lost a point. Also, can you neaten the review please. Mainly on the formatting and the random lines.
Originality 10/10
“It was a very original game and the way you can play it is original too! It's not an average 3D game especially because not many people have made fps games in 3D on scratch!”
Ease Of Use 2/5
“The game lacked a tutorial and was hard to start out and I had only played for 30 seconds and I died.”

Difficulty Balance 3/5
“The game was a little to hard because of the speed the sprites go and how they attack you on all sides.”
Graphics 3/5
“the graphics for the game were not the best because classic scratch sprites were used but they were colored differently and the arm with gun was choppy too. otherwise it was great!”

Sound 5/5
“the sound really fit the mood and was interesting. loved it!”

Scratch Cat's Hideout Tycoon

“1) Start a hideout
2) Build stuff!
3) Hire staff to clean and repair
4) Expand
5) Make a profit!”

Game Design 8/10
The game is fairly addictive. Buying bigger things and expanding is fun, and I like how it is a sandbox instead of a linear game. However, a in-game list of challenges to do that would give you rewards and level you up would make it score higher. This game lacks a fast-forward button, which means that every round, we have to wait for 7 minutes before we can do anything else. The lack of a fast-forward button makes the game lose a few points.

Originality 10/10
I doubt I have seen an agent based simulation game about running a business on Scratch before, so this deserves a 10/10.

Ease Of Use 5/5
The controls are easy, and there are in game pop-ups showing instructions, which means that it gets a 5/5.

Difficulty Balance 4/5
The game is pretty balanced in terms of difficulty. However, there are some problems, such as an arcade giving 50$ per guest, which makes me rich because I hired no staff at all.

Graphics 5/5
In this game, you can actually see people doing stuff. For example, people do not just walk around aimlessly, but they instead display animations of them doing things, like how they actually stand at arcade machines when they play them. However, the graphics seem compressed. When making graphics using third-party programs, it should be 480x360 so it does not get any problems with resizing, but that was not enough to drag the mark down.

Sound 2/5
I could not hear any sound effects at all for things like people playing at arcades. The music was okay, but it does not loop around and instead only plays for about 45 seconds when you start the game. However, because music was added, and because how it does not loop was a bug, it deserves 2 marks.

Firing Round 8/10 (This is the addition of the following scores)
Reliability 2/2
0 (Very Glitchy) 1 (A few glitches) 2 (Hardly any glitches)
Game Length 2/2
0 (Too Short) 1 (Decent Length) 2 (Long lasting or endless)
Game Pace 0/2

0 (Would never replay/ did not want to finish it the first time) 1 (Might replay) 2 (Too good to stop!)
Programming 2/2
0 (Simple to make) 1 (Fairly advanced) 2 (It was very complex)

Overall Experience 45/50
This game features an original concept and good programming. The animations are detailed and the gameplay is fun. However, there are some problems such as the lack of an option to speed up the in-game time, which reduces the enjoyment of playing this game.

Jumpy Square

Jumpy Square is a game where you basically jump over obstacles that are coming toward you constantly, and there is a shop where you can buy this product to slow down obstacles for 50 points.

Game Design 9/10
It was designed very well, but I wouldn't say great. There wasn't an X button to close out the Shop window, pressing the space bar was used to close the window, when jumping was the space bar, too! So I would say there were collided controls, because the square jumped when I exited it. So, I would say it was fun, but not addictive.
###The space bar issues would come under “Ease of Use”, so you need another reason why it scores 9 points and not 10. Surely that can't make a game un-addictive? Also, you never said where it got the 9 points from other than “designed very well”. Based on the description, the game sounds quite bland so you need to persuade me otherwise. Or change the score if you can't prove it.

Originality 6/10
It is somewhat like The Impossible Game with the square and jumping over obstacles, but this game would get a 6 / 10 because it didn't have platforms, and it was much easier than The Impossible Game, which makes it a little more original

Ease Of Use 5/5
I didn't have to stay in a weird position to play the game. All I really had to do have my hand ready to press the space bar, and when I was in the shop, I had to use the space bar and the mouse. So, it would be 5 / 5
###You would reduce this and mention the space bar problem here.

Difficulty Balance 1/5
This game was WAY to easy, but sometimes I run into obstacles and fail, so I would give this game 1 / 5.
###Maybe a 2 because it's possible to lose? I know of some “games” where you can't fail! Ikr!

Graphics 2/5
I would say 2 / 5, because it would look good detailed, but I also like it simple, too.
###If you liked it simple anyway than where does it lose 3 points? Or, where does it get the current 2 points from?

Sound 1/5
I liked the music, but there weren't any sound effects.
###As a recomendation, music is out of 3 (if you liked the song you would give it a 2 or a 3) and the sound effects are worth 0-2.

Firing Round 3/10 (This is the addition of the following scores) ###This should say 5!
Reliability 2/2
0 (Very Glitchy) 1 (A few glitches) 2 (Hardly any glitches)
Game Length 2/2
0 (Too Short) 1 (Decent Length) 2 (Long lasting or endless)

Overall Experience 20/50
The game was fun, but not addictive at all. I liked it, I might replay it. ###What would improve your experience? This is emotional based, not the technical things mentioned above. Did you feel excited playing this? Or any emotion? I just felt that this section was too short.

TOTAL: 47/100

40-59 An average project I suppose.
