A nice game! Audio is good, and the game works very well. I personally didn't really have time to read the questions properly and that's why I couldn't make it to the letter in time. But that was a original concept and the whole school thing is cool! Nice job!
@RAFFE Thanks for your input. I did not realize until I finished the game that it was very difficult to read the questions and answers while you were focused on dodging. I think it would be better if an announcer speaks the question to you. Something I will keep in mind if I decide to do anything else with this idea.
Audio was nice and jumpy to fit. As @raffe said, I really didn't have time to read the questions properly and therefore I failed a lot before I got used to reading and answering quickly, as well as keeping one eye on avoiding every letter until I knew which was the correct one.
Sometimes I got "trapped" between incorrect answers and was forced to hit one, but I guess thats to be expected with RNG xd
All in all, it was a neat little game, and had me testing my knowledge xd
And btw, I made sure to read the description and see "This game was programmed in RCBasic." so I didn't miss that question xD
Trivia is the worst lol. I like idea and concept, good job. I wanted to do something similar with an RPG runner.
I like the combination of genres and the questions are very good, but it's a bit fast. Could possibly be improved with a slower start and a gradual increase in speed.
It's a good idea but there's not enough time to read the question and all of the answers before you get hit by a random letter. Larger gaps between each character coming at you is needed so that you can dodge all the letters until you have finished reading and decided on a letter that you wish to aim for.
Trivia on game shows should be like this :) Cool concept!
I love the concept. I had to dodge things while reading the question. Really had but fun.
cool concept, but the game is a bit too fast you have almost no time to read the questions
Difficulty was a little steep, otherwise cool game!
if anything you shoul add a little time where you can read the question then it drops in the letters but still great
This game is hard but it's fun, and it's a great take on the theme! I think my favorite detail was that your lives are tuition dollars...too real!
And I actually kind of like how you have to read the question while trying to not pick up the letters, it's an extra challenge. And after a few tries you get to know the questions, so you can figure out pretty quick which one it was. My highest score so far is 160.
Really like the genre mix, and I disagree that it was hard to read and dodge at the same time. The amount of questions felt a bit lacking, but it's understandable within a jam. While I'd keep difficulty the same or make it harder, I'd specifically avoid situations where there is no dodge window at all and no correct letter among the alternatives at the same time (happened to me twice). Just making sure that there'd be a correct letter in such situations would work fine - impossible to dodge situations are actually good for the game otherwise unless they happen right after a question switch. Great job!
Got 480! Fun little game, and fits the theme as well! Although sometimes I found myself trapped in a column of wrong answers that sometimes would explode away and sometimes hit me. Despite that, good job! :smiley:
PS: Would've loved more questions. And the game's pace is good as is IMHO.
Hi, good job!
Pretty funny, I liked your question design xD
Also this difficulty is comfortable with me. My record is 240.
Nice entry! :3
