Game ‘’Adventurous Date’’

I asked 4 people to play my game for 5 minutes and then we discussed the weakness and also the strengths of the game. What I should improve or change something within the game. What I have done very well and which is their advice for me, continuing developing my game.

1.The first reviewer said that the look of the game is really good. She said that the background is executed very well. In terms of the menu and the background story  she said that I have to improve it. In addition she said that she did not find any difficulties playing the game and namely she thinks that the build up to the first level is easy and clear.

In terms of the characters and environment. She likes how the main character interacts with the background , platforms and red hearts that he is collecting. She suggested adding more obstacles.

The first level is easy. The boy has to collect 15 read hearts in terms of dating his girlfriend.

The end of the level consist of dating his girlfriend when collecting the right amount of red hearts. There is going to be black hearts that the character is going to avoid and different puddles that also the character has to jump over, otherwise he will lose his life and will lose the game.

2. The second reviewer said the graphics of the game are really good and it makes you appreciate the game more. He likes how the background is moving and also the animated characters.

In terms of menu and the story he said that I have to improve it.

He likes how the boy interacts with the hearts and that there is a score which count how many hearts the boy is collecting. He suggested to add more obstacles because the game will be more dynamic.

He did not find any difficulties playing first level where the player collects hearts and jumps over platforms .

The end level should be completed in terms of dating his girlfriend .

3.  The third reviewer said that the look of the game is very colorful. The background story should be improved.

She thinks that the main character interacts really cool with the environment and with the heart as well. The character is collecting hearts and is jumping over platforms.

In terms of audience, she said that for 13+ people seams a bit easy for that age group but the story is appropriate for this type of people.

The ending of the game should be made but the idea is interesting and she wants to know how the game is going to finish and what new obstacles will appear within the game.

4. The fourth reviewer thinks that the look of the game is adorable.

The leading up to the first level is very interesting and he likes how the characters interacts between them. He likes the moving background and also how the character is moving and interacts with the obstacle. They interact in an interesting way.

The first level is easy and the aim  is  not so hard.

He said that I have to made an end level and also add some sound in it.

Conclusion

Analyzing the reviewers’ opinions  I should improve the story of the game. Namely, the leading up to the beginning of the first level. The menu is easy but I should improve –introducing the characters within the game In terms of characters,  they are moving very well but I need to add more obstacles. The characters also interact within the environment. The background is executed  very well and the animated characters as well.

 The first level is okay, it  is not so difficult but I should made an end level where the girl will be spawned.
In addition I should add some sounds in the game. The sound will help the game be more dynamic.


Now ,I think that  my game has a better structure. I followed all reviewers' suggestions.I created new obstacles:black hearts and puddle. I designed a health bar.
The characters interacts in a different way with the platforms.When the boy is colliding with the platform, the background and the platform itself is stopping. The character is changing his size, so he can go under the platforms.
I improved the leading up to the first level. I designed the scene where the main character is introducing his self in the game. I made an end scene ,where the boy is dating his girlfriend. In addition I added some music background and also sound effects when the main character is colliding with obstacles in the game.
