Hi,

If anyone can spare a minute, i would appreciate if any of you would Play my in browser game and give feedback.

Remember its a kids educational fun game, so look at it from that kind of view point. 

it's more of a prototype/proof of concept really.

here are some keys

Hi, here goes my feedback in many areas, in no particular order:

I expected the game to go fullscreen, but it does not scale up.

Remember to double check your spelling for all your text, I found one typo in the instructions (two peices).

The first thing I did was reading the instructions, a children might not do the same. So following the principle 'show, don't tell' would work better in this case (show the rules while playing the game for the first time). This is relevant because even though I read them, when I started playing I was stunned and did not know what to do. I pressed every button to find my way through, but it took me like 5 minutes before I got the hang of it, trying to be patient to make this review.

Sometime you use red/green fonts over brown color, and it is not very legible.

When you press Q, you toggle quests (so far so good), but when you choose one, you are not allowed to do so anymore until you finish it (and you still show the 'press Q to toggle quests', making me think I can change it.

I just selected a quest asking for a 22, and maybe I'm sleepy but the answer is not pretty straightforward for the numbers I currently have (7's and 2's). I think you should control what quests the kid do and be sure to make it progressive (from easiest to 'hardest') so they don't get frustrated so quickly.

I suggest dropping the items by clicking on them, instead of grabbing and dropping. It should be easier and more consistent (you pick them up by clicking on them).

The spit button doesn't do anything after feeding the pig (at least with the red one).


Sometime the pigs are a little out of sight, I suggest keeping them more in the center of the screen, or visible at all times.
------------------


Wrapping up, the concept is good, you have a solid base, the game is entertaining, the characters cute, the atmosphere is calm and suitable.


If you'd like me to play again sometime, please tell me.

Keep up the good work!
