Brief description of game/animation (only brief, we don't want any spoilers!):Endless Runner

1/2 for volume controls
Spacebar to start the run
How harsh would you like it to be? ? I did my best! Point out what I can make solutions to, but don't discredit the good points. Also I am not great at graphics.
Length of gameplay/animation: Endless
Any other notes: please give a review after getting all upgrades! Also, each spacesuit has stat upgrades and Cosmonaut, Future Suit and Spaceship have 1 extra missile.

Can't get any upgrades when i can't see what it is
Scripting: Fair
you have a very solid foundation, however the start button occasionally doesn't work, and your hide/show scripts aren't working very well (shop buttons invisible, and rocket shows the hidden asteroids (should be despawned entirely) wherever they are on the screen, which can sometimes lead to instant deaths

Gameplay: good
aside from the aforementioned issues, the gameplay is quite good. However, I feel like movement speed should scale with the meteors, thus no matter how fast they are it's based on reaction time and not movement speed.
I'd like some small changes, such as a slight lean or acceleration time when moving forwards and backwards, or something of the sort. And possibly some item powerups, like a deployable wall that can block 3 meteors, but is small and can't move, or a turret that destroys the meteor nearest to you once every 1/2 seconds. I feel like that would make the gameplay much more unique, and give it it's own flair. You could also do what they did in Jetpack Joyride, where these powerups have certain named combinations, maybe you can only have 2-3 types spawn in each game.

Audio: Fair
Are they original? If not, give credit to the creators, and if it's copyrighted music, check to see if it's under fair used (small/medium edits should let you use them without much difficulty)

Graphics: N/A
removed at author's request
Thanks! Do you know why the glitches are occurring? It seems to be random, so probably Scratch just acting up. Also, you can review the graphics.
I have made small edits to each sound effect or music. Also added in the unshared version is a scrolling background and less missile glitches. The speed scales up to encourage you to buy upgrades and suits. Now the missiles make the asteroids respawn like you are starting the run again.

Project name and link: Vimaye01's Intro Order (just want to see if you guys think it is good enough for him)
Type: Intro
Other: I am Equidox (No need to thank me ) Okay, um, might lag just a bit, so the timing and synchronicity might be off by a bit… But or else, it should run pretty smoothly.
Give credit to Lapachelle for Lunar Abyss

Other than that pretty solid, that sort of criticism is one of my bad points. However, Vimaye01 already said he liked it, so I'd say it's acceptable, although the white background when the logo stabilized probably needs to be overhauled
huh? who is lapachelle
also, I already tried removing the white background, but the background costume in the sprite just turns pink when it shows (WHYYYYY?!?!?!?!) Maybe you could help fix it…

@AfraidRacer
No, I do not.
I believe the speed should scale as an asymptote, the lower line being the minimum speed at which it's physically possible.

@npjensen Lchavasse. Lapachelle is a character from a book I read, and both the names sound kind of foreign - switched names on accident.

Wow, phosphorus was way worse than I thought! Can you try https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/236878421/ ?
All of the mention problems apply to the normal scratch version. You should be able to fix them. Also, it they are meant to be only an outro, the music is what fooled me. I think you should make the music transition less abrupt, or maybe just use one song for the entire outro.

Overall: 4/10
Overall added at OP's request

Art - Good
Not great, not bad, just the stereotypical art style.

Audio - N/A

Gameplay (platformer) - Poor
saws don't hurt you, collision detection for bottom of objects is broken, and the game softlocks frequently
walking into a wall will trap the character unless you jump
Gameplay (editor) - Poor
  • Saws are broken
  • Block selection (and the sorting method) are unintuitive, IMO
  • Blocks are randomly unable to be placed
  • Horizontal movement moves the placed blocks themselves, neither the ghost nor the cursor
  • Auto-changing textures isn't included (i.e. Top block only has grass, circle of grass if not connected to any other blocks, etc.)
  • curved block is useless and commonly crashes games
  • Theme button needs to be hit twice to change

Presentation - Fair
nothing to make it particularly enjoyable, but I can read the buttons.
(have no idea what half the blocks do though)

Both accepted. Now you are on the first post, congratulations! Got distracted on other games, so this died because I died, but I'll try to revive it.
