Game #4


So I broke my collaboration for one game so my co-founder could work on the RPG. The result is Who is the Best : Competitive Math. It is currently in review and I'm startled by how positive the feedback is. This is arguably the most simple game I have programmed, with maybe "Ninja Stole My Bike" being on about the same level. I have little to no expectations for the game, although now I'm leaning more towards "little expectations" since the feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive. I'm also hoping that putting the #1 player on the cover of a future update will help push the game. Can't wait to see how people do at the Global Challenge. If the game does well, even remotely, I will turn this into a fun little series of games. The game is inspired by the Brain Age classics, and since I am a big sucker for them I wanted to do something similar. I'm trying to get away from gimmicky games for a while, since they really weren't doing that well for us anyways. This time I was just going for old fashioned fun. For all the viewers out there, my estimate is that a score of 21000 will be just about enough for the #1 spot after 30 days.

  1. Well, I can confirm 20,000 won't cut it... at least, not for anyone but me :) - ZM

  2. You have registered an awesome score, almost 21000, just 200 points behind the leader. I think it's great that there are scores that high already. I think I have to re-evaluate and say that 21500 will take the top spot. My highest score when testing was just about 21000.

  3. Well, right now I'm hoping it'll be 21,371 :) What is the cut-off date, anyhow?

    By the way, given this is a game all about accuracy, you might want to use that update to fix the misspelled "Instuctions:" in nice, bold letters on all the instruction screens... - ZM

  4. Cut off date is July 18th. Yeah, I can't believe that the game was reviewed 8 times and not one reviewer caught the misspelling. It will be fixed, along with a couple of other things in an update. Thanks. Top score on my list right now is 21,966.
