Please see Teal's play-through video, as well as her review of the game in the video description:

Thanks for the review and over 20 rounds of gameplay. I laughed with you and glad you put your mind to it. But sorry "Therese" (the-rese) was the correct answer in my research.But I could be wrong.

I just read the video description. thanks again Specifically, the message "I walked away feeling good about myself and my life (despite not knowing anything about early RMs)" 

if a student fails the exam. But he did not feel that he was less valuable. That's really important thing.

Reminds me of an old personal project I did (I used holes and other B/C/D/E items instead of that tile though). Glad I'm not the only one that thought to make a board game on RPGM, lol.

Now, the idea is great, but... Very questionable implementation. I of course named myself \V[1] which definitely caused some issues.

Some of the default questions seemed very... specific. You can set the stars needed to 0 and instantly win the game.

The information for the game was very hard to read. Might want to hire a professional translator or proofreader. I'll be honest, google translated text might have made more sense.

It really felt like a lot of the questions could have done with some hints, especially if there are multiple possible answers depending on your interpretation. Didn't check if capitalization matters here, but looks like a lot of answers expect lowercase.

You can go into the negatives in points, which felt a bit odd.

Developer

Thank you. I've already hired a proofreader. I will set the player not to put special characters in the name. Each question has a reference source for the answer. It is also designed to be used in exams. Can answer upper letters, but it will be converted to lowercase.

Hey, interesting ideas here. It could use some polish though. Still a nice educational quiz basis. I made a first impression video if you want to watch: https://youtu.be/0uTkfmtYCr0?t=2005

Ps: sorry I say your user name completely wrong!

Developer

Thank you ! for made this video. It's okay to read the my user name wrong. (khian-pian-chi-wit) Its meaning to write for change life.

This one doesn't seem much at first glance but it has many cool mechanics built into it. The idea for a RPG Maker quiz as a RPG Maker game is pretty original. The one thing that could use some serious improvement is grammar/spelling.

Developer(+1)

Thank You ! The grammar/spelling is the hardest part in this game making, I will fix it.

I admire you for creating something very different in RPG Maker, and that aims to help students! I also think it's great that you made it very customizable, so people can add in their own questions (though I didn't try that myself). I also liked the animations in the game, the background changes in different rounds, the devil and other pieces moving between rounds, and being able to choose different ways of rolling the dice. The angel's quotations were a nice touch too!

Aside from the fact that there were some grammatical errors (which I understand because English is not your first language), I'd suggest quickening the pace so that the game moves more quickly between questions. For example, when rolling the dice, there's a little pause between the text "How hard will you roll the dice?" and the choices coming up. I think the pause could be eliminated. And perhaps show the description of each type of tile only the first time one steps on it, or shorten the text messages. E.g., right now, when you step on the black hole, it tells you first that you stepped on a black hole, then the second message tells you you get a tear point for answering the question wrongly. This could probably be consolidated into 1 message.

Anyhow, I hope people find your game useful! I don't think I ran into any bugs, so good job!

Developer

Thank you. You're very kind.

I' m work around for update and write a handbook (in thai) now,  I will fix that you recommend.
