Cave Terror

I had assumed this game would have a horror genre of some sort but was disappointed that the game did not live up to its own title ( Cave Terror ) It seems that the protagonist of the game (which is that yellow dot) is in an underground maze and is trying to find a way out. I'm a little bummed that this game does not have any sort of navigation to help the protagonist find their way out - keeps running into dead ends. It's frustrating to play a game that doesn't give off any instructions as to what you're supposed to do and your literally floating around in circles. 





I found the art of this game is too simple as well as its game-play. The art of the game reminds me of a 2D game by the name of Jewel (it's a pretty old game, mainly played on Nokia phones, where the protagonist is on an underground quest; collecting red/purple jewels and keys, defeat a giant snake and earn a treasure that is helpful in other stages) There isn't any other challenges that the player faces in this game therefore all interest in this game is lost.

Forest Marathon The game is set outdoor where the protagonist collects acorns. I had thought the game would be along the lines of running in the forest; like how the game Sonic Dash has that blue creature running down a lane filled with obstacles that needs to be avoided. Plus the title is literally called 'Forest Marathon' surely its got something  to do with...running..? Turns out, it was nothing like it at all- which is kind of disappointing. The protagonist of the game just had to find 5 acorns in order to move to the next level. This continues until she finds the big acorn then the game ends there. I reckon the downfall of this game would be the fact that there are no obstacles or antagonist in each level.  -Lowers the thrill and fun in the game when there is no type of challenge The art in the game is similar to that of Mario. It appeared grid like, making the game look unfinished. - sort of like how Minecraft looks like but with gliches. This also got me decidi...

It was shocking to see that the majority of our audience -who answered the  monkey survey based on gaming- were females!! I had made the assumption that males would take the lead in playing video games instead of females. According to the monkey survey my class and I created, 66.67% of females play video games, while only 33.33% of males play. To 'see' what the monkey survey 'looks like', be our guest!

Task 7-  Now its time to design your world!     -I want to base my game on the Cook Islands, I'm planning on using the different tourist attractions in my game for my island(world), e.g Atiu - Island of birds and underground caves, Mauke - underwater caves, Aitutaki - beautiful lagoon. Uses of colors in Avaiki - My game will have two worlds; the real world Avaiki and the parallel one(still trying to find a name) Both my worlds will be set on islands, they would obviously have similar appearances but the differences to the real and parallel world will be made obvious.  The game will be set within the parallel world( Avaiki will be in the intro of my game, its actual starter will be when the protagonist enters the parallel world)  I've envisioned a 'Alice in wonderland' kind of theme/world. I want it to have a dark yet magical atmosphere. So basically i want my game to start off with the natural beautiful scenery of nature, then when the main character...
