Catter (PymArchive) Review
Category: Game
Pros

- Nice intro.
- Has helpful instructions.
- It's a good touch that the difficulty increases.
- Loading ball is a nice touch.
- “Do you want to keep playing?” Pop-up is a nice touch.

Cons

- Perhaps try to find a more creative solution than using the “say” block to communicate with the player.
- The thumbnail could perhaps be improved; maybe use an uploaded font?
- I would suggest using non-default Scratch sprites next time.
- Maybe have “loading” under the ball?
- Perhaps have a more interesting “Play” button that stands out from the background.

Comments

Overall, it is a new take on a classic game. With some minor improvements it will be a simple, pleasing and entertaining game to challenge players and kill time.

~ Cat

Catter by Python_megapixel:

Gameplay: 9.3/10 it was very good. My character glitched once in a while, but it was fine.

Instructions: 10/10 they were very detailed and explained a lot.

Color: 9.7/10 the color was sooooooooo goooooooood. Although a couple times I lost focus I need the game.

Controls: 9.1/10 very simple and easy to understand. Although the arrow keys are positioned awkwardly on my keyboard.

Movement: 9.9/10 my character glitched every 10 minutes or so, but otherwise it was great!

Overall: 38/40 (very good!)

Overall comment: a great, simple game, perfect for people new to computer gaming, easy to understand and needs little revision.
Suggestions: a little revision, but that’s it. I was playing on a slow computer though, so these problems aren’t on most computers.

• Project Review - Catter by python_megapixel

Type : Game

Graphics { 3/10 }

Description :
  • Artwork of sprites lack originality, and very contrasting styles.
  • The main menu is quite dull and plain.
  • Despite that, the intro is very simple and clean.
  • No project thumbnail.

Coding and Mechanism { 8/10 }

Description :
  • Very good coding for sensor sprites.
  • The loader is very convenient.
  • A very unique popup.
  • Increasing difficulty—a good touch.
  • An interesting point system, well programmed.
  • Messy blocks, and some codes don't function properly, resulting in glitches.
  • Movement of player sprite is too fast and sudden.

Controls and Concept { 7/10 }

Description :
  • Controls are simple, but take a while to get used to.
  • A simple game concept with a clear goal.
  • Well-explained instructions.

Music and Audio { 9/10 }

Description :
  • Lovely music for the intro and the gameplay!
  • Though the music for the gameplay doesn't seem to match with the game's dynamics.

• Overall Score { 7/10 } ENJOYABLE !

Suggestions :
  • Make it look more attractive : Draw or get your own sprites to suit the whole graphic theme.
  • Make the buttons interactive : Have different costumes for hover and click.
  • Make the loader more recognizable (make it look like a loader) or place a ‘Loading…’ text anywhere near the loader so players don't get confused.
  • Make the player sprite movement slower and smoother. Also add extra walking cycle costumes to make the sprite more dynamic.
  • Clean up the coding blocks inside the game for convenience of yourself or remixers.
  • Have a thumbnail for your project. Make your own or have someone to make one for you. This will make your project look more attractive and give a good impression.
  • Make the purple fish silent (stop giving instructions) after the player finishes the first ‘level’
  • The music used for the gameplay is fine, but make sure to make the feel of the game more dynamic when playing. Otherwise, have a more calm soundtrack for the gameplay.

If I'm bored, these are the kinds of games I would definitely be looking for. Simple, relaxing and fun!

I have decided to choose XCat and RPP-Exploration for this role. Your example reviews show that you are prepeared to put in effort but can work efficiently.

A guide to what you need to do is coming soon (within the next 24 hours).
