This would have a lot more stars if I didn't get a headache from attempting to read it. The text colour and background colour clash and makes it super hard to read!

Not too bad, but my session lasted.. 5 seconds.

Anyway I'm just waiting for alex to put my new game in the archive. This one will have the compass and make full use of the items and such. Also in the options menu you will be able to change the background colour the way you like it. Because everyone has different tastes. The game is called 'life'. It's just a demo but it will take you a while to finish it though. You play as the life of Gale. From early age to elderly age. The demo has 3 chapters. Which the full game will have around 10 or so. I'm still making it so I'm not sure yet. Well I hope you will enjoy this game.

Considering the game's 10KB in size, I'd be very suspicious about the "two hours" of playing time comment.

Unless it was meant in the sense that "okay, the game's really small but there are so many errors in it you'll be struggling with it for two hours before you get anywhere".

Pros: Very few; the fact that you mention HBP =) and..... thats it =p

Cons: the background/text colours clash, story is weak, setting needs waaaaay more description

If it discourages her -- GOOD!

It was appauling! And yes, it only allowed me to play for 2 minutes. I couldn't examine or look at objects, speak to people and what have you.

I've been playing single player text games since the 90's and then MUDs since 95. Hmm that's a DECADE. Wow, so yes, I do know what I'm talking about.

Two hours worth of game play? BS, b*tch. You want to see a real game go to 4 Dimensions. If you don't know how to get there, try www.mudconnector.com and find it in the Listings. That will put your sorry game into perspective.

While this game was not the greatest, at least she tried. There are some people beating up on her, but hey, if you're so good, why don't you make a game? I check back here every so often to see if anyone has made any games, and this is the first that's been uploaded in a looooong while, so at least Catalin tried. It could use some work, but hey, maybe she's learning. If you just yell at her, that will only discourage her from trying to make more games in the future. So Catalin, I give you an A+ for effort, and keep trying!!

Unsatisfied said it was 2 minues long. It was way longer than that. After you to the quiz there's like 2 more hours.

There were A LOT of bugs. I'm upset that there is no west, east, north, south, out commands.

This was perhaps well thought out, but the Harry Potter deal and then the mispellings, and lack of control made this game horrendous.

Do not play it. It's not worth the 2 minutes it allows you to play.

I wouldn't call this horrendous as the last person suggested.

HOWEVER, if you want to see an example of what colors NOT to use as the font and background of a text adventure, this is where to look. I literally got a headache after a minute or two trying to read the pink on neon blue background.

It looks like the game was semi thought out. Suggestions, ditch the Harry Potter questions at the beginning of the game and definitely allow for commands such as north, south, west, east.
