[Number Tetris]

Good!

I like Tetris a lot and we could do with practicing our quick number skills.

I spent I while failing to get it to work before noticing your note about getting the cursor in the box! If a lot of stupid people like me have trouble with that you may have to put a note on the screen on the game

[The Persian Quiz]

Good

Technically correct with clean, tidy, well-written text. As quizmaker myself I know what goes into making one of these and whilst there is virtually nothing you could call animation in it, getting every route of every button, along with every word right is hard.

It could be much improved with better graphics. It would not be that difficult to add some correctly credited photos; something more interesting at the level changes; a bit of animation; more 'reward' for winning.
Should you decide to work on this at all, get in touch and I will help you. Take a look at my art tutorial if you want some basic ideas for livening things up.

thank you for teaching me something about these people and Zoroastrianism. They certainly put other ideas of empire to shame.

Hey thanks for actually playing it! This is my second actual quiz game, but my first was really messy and unprofessional, so I am never going to submit it.
Yes, I know it would be better if I put some more animation into it, but I had to get this finished for a school project, so it was kind of minimalistic on the artwork.
I'll be sure to check out your tutorial! Thanks.

Has potential

Pls don't upload unfinished work here. Read Toms notes on submission before uploading

[oh child]

very basic

but just about passable- its a game that works Try not to submit stuff you know is poor- push yourself to make it as good as you can.

Art, writing, animation, everything- just one example- the scribbly numbers were so poor it looked like there was no 8 only 6's!

Take a look at my Art Inspiration Tut if you want to take some basic steps forward.

Always put in a credits page

Yeah...sorry about my handwriting.

As for credits-it was just me and I credited the song I used on the side.

Thanks for the feedback.

[Akiko Dress up]

OK- lots of colour range

We get a lot of dressups here and it gets very boring. There is nothing wrong with this one, indeed it all fits very well and the range of colour for almost everything in the wide range of clothes is impressive.You have a reasonable range of other accesories, such as ears, tail etc. Which is good.

Don't worry about the preloader too much- as it is a small file and loads quickly it doesn't matter, but find out how to insert one before you submit again, it will count against you.

I don't know if there is any sound as I have no sound, but if not, there should be some kind of music. Since dressups have so little variety in their interaction, putting in a choice of music with a music off button would certainly help.

The actual picture is quite small and is rather overwhelmed by the clothes etc around it. The clothes are also very close together and it is difficult to see them very well, especially as the row of colours blurs them together.

The better dressups have animation, such as blinking eyes.

One could give the person a voice and make it say things from time to time.

To clear space you could have buttons that bring up a range one at a time eg:

Tops, hair, skirts, tails etc

that would leave you room to see each one and make everything bigger.

Take a look at this NG submission for inspiration:

[B: The Video Game]

It works; it does something!

I am delighted to find that I can honestly (just) give this game a score representing a pass through judgement!
Obviously it is extremely simple game, but it works and, with the leaderboard feature that lifts it above the other most basic working games, I suppose its (just) a keeper.
I put my score on the leaderboard, making me the highest scoring D&S so far! (when did you last see another one of us?)

[Don't Mess With Preloader]

disspointed

good enough idea. Could have been funny. Not much really happened. Not really interactive, you just start it and its over. If you classify it as a game/interactive people expect more interactivity. If you have a good comic idea people hope for you to make something of it.

[Dress Up NY Girl]

It works OK

Nothing exciting, but it works ok and there is a reasonable selection of items, the art is quite good and its neat and tidy. I wouldn't give it more than a basic pass score because there isn't much to it.
Top dressups have a selection of music; items other than clothes; animation; different pages; different backgrounds etc. but this is OK.

Actually, if you wanted to improve it you would make it so that you dressed her for work, then for nightlife, with a nightclub background etc.
