AlphaCraft

Just a game I did this past winter for a contest at school. I've put it up a few places online, but wanted to get some opinions from some more serious flash users here, since most of those sites are idiots who give it bad ratings because there is "no violence' *grin*.

Thanks in advance! Honest critiques are totally welcome.

P.S. Ignore the website design, it's a work in progress not worthy of mentioning just yet, I'm still playing around with it when I have time.

Yes, it was Newgrounds *grin*.

And it's 500K, it's a pretty small game really.

Update: after making some corrections last week so it works on Macs properly (there was another thread on this), some new bugs cropped up. I've fixed those as well, so feel free to take another look at it if anyone likes.

It may be an ugly design and the font type on most of the design is bothersome to my eyes, I am strangely addicted to this game. I could really careless about everything design wise since it's just so easy to waste away time playing it haha.

Good job, methinks.

*laughing* I'll take that. Tetris was an ugly design but millions of people were addicted to it. Not that it's remotely as fun as Tetris, but I'm glad it has its appeal for some folks.

u can impove the design i feel... game is nice :)

I guess suggestions on design improvement would be useful at this point. The type face could use a work over, but what else? Colors? Is the interface not functioning right or hard to deal with? Are the graphics crappy?

I'm definitely glad it's working well and the game itself is enjoyable. But design is probably my weak point (I'm decent with the programming) and would love pointers on that.

the game is fun and works well but like you say you need to concentrate on the design

could be a bit brighter, more lighter colours perhaps

the font on the tabs could be softer

perhaps rather than the amber buttons (orangey gold) colour you've got just now you could try something brighter & lighter

thought the discards were kinda hidden, bit more prominent (not a lot, just a bit)

but the game is enjoyable & addictive, well done :thumb:
