Name of the project: “Scratch Cat's Level Editor”

Link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/211763687/

What kind of Review you want: Comprehensive, please!

Brief Description of the project: A tile based level editor where the player takes control of Scratch Cat. You can build, play, save or load, and more!

Harshness: Just as harsh as your usual reviews. Just keep in mind that some sprites are placeholder graphics (for now)

Other Notes: none

Thanks!
Scratch Cat's Level Editor Review
Graphics 7/10 Can be spiced up a bit, but looks good. More themes would be nice.
Gameplay 9/10 Outstanding! Having this good mechanics for a platformer AND a level editor? Wow!
Difficulty N/A This will be set to the average of other scores.
Engagement 8/10 Having a level editor provides a lot of fun and you can even save levels.
Sound 3/10 Having other sound effects would be good and the current music is really harsh.
Creativity 7/10 Good idea which is executed very well Spinning gears and bouncing platforms are great.
Instructions 7/10 Nice and clear, but having a list of blocks and theirs functions would be good.
Storyline N/A this will be set to the average of other scores.
Bugs/Glitches 6/10 If you run straight into a wall, you get stuck. Try asking for help in the Help with Scripts forum.
Animations/Transitions 7/10 Good, especially the run cycle and special blocks but can be spiced up.
Overall Score 72/100 Really great concept which is executed well.

Brief Description of the project: Boredom Cat is a comedy series using recoloured and edited versions of the scratch sprites. The series focuses on Boredom Cat (an edit of the scratch cat) and his friend Boredom Crab and their various encounters with The Witch. The series is a reboot of a series by the same name I created on my old account.
Harshness: medium
Other notes: You don't have to review “The Boredom Club” as it is made by a different user though you should watch it to understand what happens in “Boredom Cat's Boredom Race”. On the topic of “Boredom Cat's Boredom Race”, there's a bit of context to it that you should know. Firstly, it's kind of a Drag Race parody, but also a parody of reality TV competitions in general. Secondly, I did a competition in which one user got to have their OC put in the episode and another user got their account mentioned.

Thanks! I honestly didn't expect this to get such a high rating due to how it's only in beta. The issues that you did bring up are currently being worked on. Thanks again!

Work from the bottom of the studio to the top, that should be the correct order.
Basically, the episode order is this:
Reboot
The Alps
Boredom Club
April Fools
Boredom Race
The Date
The FInale

Boredom Cat Season 1 Review
Yeah, I'm just gonna tell my opinions here, which doesn't change how good or bad the project is. Or I'm blatantly misinterpreting EVERYTHING.

Engagement I'm sorry, but I didn't like it, the humour was good in a bad way, like a corny joke being funny because it's corny so 3/10(Ouch). Also, why not have it progress by a key being pressed instead of this? I'm a very fast reader, but others may not be and trying to understand is really difficult and takes time.
Sound 5/10 Um, some good sounds will be better. Voice will also be appreciated a lot in this type of project, even if it's just a text-to-speech.
Creativity 7/10 Nice but default scratch sprites look terrible. The idea for Boredom Cat is also confusing. I get that he's a recolour, but what's his personality?
Storyline 4/10 The story usually doesn't make any sense. Fourth wall breaks are good though. I like how all episodes maintain continuity instead of treating each other like separate entities.
Animations/Transitions 7/10 Expressions, movement, fading effects are good.
Overall Score 52/10 I'm sorry if I disappointed you. If you want, someone else from this shop can do a review. I hope you accept my review.

Name of the project: Dark Zone
Link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/36723716/
What kind of review you want: Comprehensive review
Brief description of the project: In Dark Zone you take control of a spaceship and you try to survive in space as much as possible by dodging asteroids. To help you there are three different “power-ups” that you'll get for surviving a specific amount of time. The game has also got a cloud-data Hall of fame with the 5 best scores.
Harshness: Say what you have to say, I can handle it
Other notes: The game was published a long time ago but I'm trying to improve it as much as possible and see where it can get. In the Instructions writen part of the project there can be found some more ‘deep’ explanations and in the Notes and Credits one, there are all the updates that have been added, just in case you're curious. One last thing, I would like to get help in the code that makes the spaceship move, because if it's moven very slowly by the player, it seems kinda weird.

Thanks for everything! I appreciate what you are doing!
Dark Zone
Graphics 6/10 Great Job! Powerup effects are good but the try changing the menu screen
Gameplay 7/10 Solid concept but too difficult.
Difficulty 3/10 Yeah, I couldn't get past 18 seconds. I tried changing the powerups to come sooner but there are just too many meteors and they move too fast. 4-5 meteors will be good.
Engagement 7/10 Cloud High Score leaderboards are great but the insert coin loses its fun after too many tries. Try making it go back to the menu screen after you die.
Sound 7/10 Nice music! Some other sounds would be good.
Creativity 7/10 Great job, but feels a bit bland.
Instructions 8/10 Love the Version History! Instructions are well explained.
Storyline N/A this will be set to the average of other scores.
Bugs/Glitches 9/10 I know you are working on the mouse movement.
Animations/Transitions 8/10 Great! Dying effect and powerups are really cool.
Overall Score 60/100 Great job! Fix the difficulty and you'd be on your way to a really solid game with a lot built on it!
Okey, thanks for all the tips and for sharing your opinion about my game!
I think you kinda took your anger out on giving a 3 on difficulty but it's OK (just kidding). Was it laggy when you played it on your computer?
I don't know how you did the average but I don't get the same score you gave me, more like a 70. (OMG this seems like being in high school!)

Anyway, thanks for everything!

See ya!

It's fine, I'm not taking it personally. In fact, I've found this quite useful. I think I'll work towards properly developing and setting the character's personalities outside of attitudes and text patterns and maybe invest in something like voice acting or maybe just a different method of displaying the text that makes it easier to read and follow. I was thinking of looking into properly planning and scripting new episodes anyways so the story telling would likely be improved by that. The next season is going to be a bit of a reboot anyway as I plan to redevelop the characters with 3.0's sprites and make design touch-ups. Boredom Cat has always been a bit more of a “personal” thing in a sense, using a lot of inside jokes and humour that appeals to me, but I should probably look at the bigger picture when making episodes in future.

Oh great, I made a math error. Let me recalculate….No wait it's 60. I added up all scores except story, and got 54. 54/9=6 so overall score =54+6=60.
There was no lag, but I have intel Core i5 with 4 GB of RAM. What do you mean, let out my anger? It was too difficult to play.

Take it easy mate! All scores except Story added up equals 62, not 54. Maybe you forgot counting the Animations/Transitions one but it's OK, you gave me useful advices in the review, that's what I was mainly looking for.

I asked for the lag because if there's lag, then the game gets more difficult. Just that. Because not everyone may agree that the game is too difficult to play. But that's your opinion and you said it after playing the game, so I respect it.

Thanks again and if you need anything I'll be glad to help!

Graphics 5/10 Good Job! I loved the design for the meteor, earth, and the background, but I didn't like the way the title or the buttons looked. Try designing them yourself.
Gameplay 7/10 I like it, but I've seen many games like this before. But I haven't seen one where you control the buttons separately! (And how you could upgrade them with cash)
Difficulty 5/10 A little hard, to control 2 buttons at once.
Engagement 6/10 I liked how you could earn money to upgrade your spheres, but I never could upgrade my spheres because I kept dying. Again, make it less harder.
Sound 7/10 Nice music! Maybe add some other songs?
Creativity 8/10 I liked it, but maybe design the spheres to be something else (Satellites, Moons, etc.)
Instructions 4/10 A little unclear, and I don't know how cash upgrades the spheres (Do you click something, or is it automatic…)
Storyline 6/10 Nice idea of protecting Earth!
Bugs/Glitches 10/10 I didn't find any!
Animations/Transitions 7/10 Not really a lot, but try making it so that you can move while you jump
Overall Score 65/100 Amazing job! Fix some graphics and make it less hard and clearer, and this could get front paged!

Does anyone know where I can find an ACTIVE Big Brother AUDITION studio? Pweeez tell me. (I'm also find with the Amazing Race, but not Survivor)

Hi everyone! I have just found this place and I would like to share my project so you can review it and tell me how it is. Thanks in advance!

Username: enricondal
Name of the project: Dark Zone
Link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/36723716/
What kind of review you want: Comprehensive review
Brief description of the project: In Dark Zone you take control of a spaceship and you try to survive in space as much as possible by dodging asteroids. To help you there are three different “power-ups” that you'll get for surviving a specific amount of time. The game has also got a cloud-data Hall of fame with the 5 best scores.
Harshness: Say what you have to say, I can handle it
Other notes: The game was published a long time ago but I'm trying to improve it as much as possible and see where it can get. In the Instructions writen part of the project there can be found some more ‘deep’ explanations and in the Notes and Credits one, there are all the updates that have been added, just in case you're curious. One last thing, I would like to get help in the code that makes the spaceship move, because if it's moven very slowly by the player, it seems kinda weird.

Thanks for everything! I appreciate what you are doing!
Dark Zone
Graphics 6/10 Great Job! Powerup effects are good but the try changing the menu screen
Gameplay 7/10 Solid concept but too difficult.
Difficulty 3/10 Yeah, I couldn't get past 18 seconds. I tried changing the powerups to come sooner but there are just too many meteors and they move too fast. 4-5 meteors will be good.
Engagement 7/10 Cloud High Score leaderboards are great but the insert coin loses its fun after too many tries. Try making it go back to the menu screen after you die.
Sound 7/10 Nice music! Some other sounds would be good.
Creativity 7/10 Great job, but feels a bit bland.
Instructions 8/10 Love the Version History! Instructions are well explained.
Storyline N/A this will be set to the average of other scores.
Bugs/Glitches 9/10 I know you are working on the mouse movement.
Animations/Transitions 8/10 Great! Dying effect and powerups are really cool.
Overall Score 60/100 Great job! Fix the difficulty and you'd be on your way to a really solid game with a lot built on it!
Okey, thanks for all the tips and for sharing your opinion about my game!
I think you kinda took your anger out on giving a 3 on difficulty but it's OK (just kidding). Was it laggy when you played it on your computer?
I don't know how you did the average but I don't get the same score you gave me, more like a 70. (OMG this seems like being in high school!)

Anyway, thanks for everything!

See ya!
Oh great, I made a math error. Let me recalculate….No wait it's 60. I added up all scores except story, and got 54. 54/9=6 so overall score =54+6=60.
There was no lag, but I have intel Core i5 with 4 GB of RAM. What do you mean, let out my anger? It was too difficult to play.
Take it easy mate! All scores except Story added up equals 62, not 54. Maybe you forgot counting the Animations/Transitions one but it's OK, you gave me useful advices in the review, that's what I was mainly looking for.

I asked for the lag because if there's lag, then the game gets more difficult. Just that. Because not everyone may agree that the game is too difficult to play. But that's your opinion and you said it after playing the game, so I respect it.

Thanks again and if you need anything I'll be glad to help!
I'm an absolute genius. I forgot to count a number. I'll update the scores.
