A few notes:

The screen goes blank if the window is minimized or covered by another window. That wouldn't be hard to fix.

The game is supposed to stop if minimized or covered, however, so the gameplayer doesn't stall for time

Would be nice to have:
  • progressive difficulty

  • a more full set of characters

  • more sounds

  • levels that could be completed

  • a variation on the theme, such as a "moving head" level or something


Tell me what you think.

Before reading, this is a constructive suggestion for future projects.

I havent played your game, so I am in no position to critisize it. One thing I can tell you is, making mini-games and even professional games that are based off someone elses idea, mainly tv shows, are the most udderly hated types of games.

Everybody loves family guy, but the game sucked more than you could ever imagine. Everyody loves the simpsons, but no one ever buys their video games. Why? Because we hate seeing things cross formated. Dun know why, people just do.

So anyway, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with your mechanics, but all you really have to do is replace the simpson faces with poker cards or something and I gaurentee people will be more willing to try it.

Hey thanks for the crit!

I can understand where you are coming from. This game is probably for a very narrow audience at that... Simpsons fanatics. From what you say, a lot of people like the Simpsons who hate Simpsons video games. Duly noted!

Thanks again.
