Infinitely late but I uploaded a review video to youtube and your game is a part of it! Check it out here:

Nice trivia game, though the timer was a little short. By the time I finished reading the question, I only had a few seconds to guess the answer and didn't really have time to read them all.

Well that's cool.

That REALLY highlighted how much I suck at history!  Especially black history!  

It was really a fast timer though, I barely had time to read the questions before I had to select an answer so I was flying blind for the first couple run throughs.  It would be cool if there was a separate, teaching module that went along with this because, unless you know, or have played already, the answers are just facts.  And I don't know facts at all.  I suck.

The graphics, the music, the sounds, all very well polished!

Great job!

Really fun trivia game, with great art, music, and a nifty, tight presentation!

I kind of wish there had been a few more questions, but excellent job!:)

Cool game, nice art. good music, and a good degree of polish. Well done!

I played through several times and ended up getting mostly the same questions over and over, so maybe some more questions or a greater degree of random? Not really sure on that one. I also think all the options should start as Blue, having one colored differently makes it seem like I should pick it on first glance.

Overall really well done and I appreciate the subject matter, an appropriate time too! :)

As a person who is neither black or from the US - i didn't know answers to ANY of this.

Well done, it's a pretty nifty little game. I loved the music, and art. I learnt a thing or two about music history too :)

Haven't you find it difficult to memorize what you've learned? I had barely time to read the question and skim through the answers before it went to the next. And if the answer had unfamiliar name I had even to replay to look proper grammar to google it later.
