The first minute and 20 odd seconds of your video is a copyright message! I can't imagine many people sticking around that long, it might be an idea to have an actor on the screen at the top or bottom of your game with the message in while you're playing if you really want to show one.

There's quite a lot of places where you're just sitting there as if you've fallen asleep :P The scenes bar at the bottom is obstructing your game too, you probably wouldn't have to scroll if it was hidden.

I don't mean to be over critical

Gamelover456

ok, the fir minute and 20 seconds was the copyright stuff, before the main menu of the game, and the spots where there was nothing going on is because I want people to hear more of the song from the level, I was previewing.

KevinCross

I didn't hear any music but I'm on a work computer so it might be a problem with the computer. If you need/want to show it I think you should show the copyright stuff while you're playing either at the top or bottom of the screen, or shorten the length of time you show them as 1 minutes and 20 seconds is a long time.

Good luck with it anyway.

KevinCross

What happens if you pick the correct answer first? Rather than getting rid of the incorrect answers?

I think you should look at setting up your levels with random sums too as well because people are likely to only play it the once if it's the same sums each level. And not a level per scene, that will give you the ability to have a really large amount of levels.

Gamelover456

good idea, I was thinking of adding a sound effect that plays when you choose the right answer.

KevinCross

I re-read my message and realised that the last bit wasn't that clear

When I said "not a level per scene" I meant not a scene per level i.e. have all of your levels played in the one scene.

With one scene and random/computer generated sums the player could play through dozens, even 100's of levels and they'll be different every time they play. The higher the level the quicker the timer goes down and the harder the sums are.

It'll save you setting up a scene for every sum manually like you're doing at the moment.

Gamelover456

I am not using every scene for the levels, after each level is a level complete screen, where you have to click on the appropriate box to go to the next level. When they click on the Reset Game Box, you are telling the game, that you are taking a break.

Unfortunately, none of the music tracks are yours. I thought they might be placeholder for the videos, but on downloading the soundtrack for the game via your links, I've found that it contains songs from:

Despicable Me
Zelda
Sonic Games
Other assorted songs that aren't yours

I would remove all the songs from your game.

As an alternative, have a look here:

incompetech.com/music/

There's hundreds of free music tracks there that you can use for your games. Just make sure to credit the composer in your game somewhere.

Cheers,

ok, thanks for the complaint. I will switch out the music tomorrow, since it might affect my chances of getting the game on Kindle Fire.

Cool!

Also, ask your parents about copyright and why you can't use other people's music/graphics in your own games.

Cheers!
