Here goes nothing…

Mr. @Sarge… by any chance, maybe, only if you want to, POTENTIALLY, maybe, perhaps maybe, can you, you know, think about, considering…

Can you do a game review on The MakeCode Forums?

As promised, I will in fact review the game. I remember using this old template I made, so I’m going to basically use it again, and provide a more comprehensive review at the end.

And now, for my actual review. To put it shortly, the game is cool. I like a lot of things about it, so let’s name some of them. Firstly, thank you for including me as a playable character! That was pretty cool!

The gameplay isn’t much for the majority of the playthrough, as it’s a choose your own adventure game. Basically, you choose an option and watch the story unfold. One criticism I have of this is that it’s often not very clear in which direction an option will take me. Like, I could think I have chosen all the right options but end up getting a worse ending than I hoped.

There are however some quirks in the gameplay that I do like. For example, being able to open the notification panel. It’s kind of a shame you didn’t make any use of it, but oh well. Being able to click on topics is cool too, and I like the reset feature too! It stumped me for a second when I encountered it for the first time, but when I figured it out, I have to say I thought it was a super creative feature I’ve never seen in use before!

Considering the art, while it is converted, it plays in nicely in the game and it really doesn’t matter. I like the effects a lot, as well as the attention to detail. As an example - the number of replies increases as more people reply. That’s a nice touch.

Finally, the story. Obviously, the story is the entire point of the game, and it’s great. I love how it shows the true unity of the forum, and how many people you included. Sure, some kind of “hacker” might not show up and cartoonishly wreck the forum, but that’s not the point. Great stuff, really.

And that’s basically the review- Wait, someone’s on the other line…

The possesive form of “it” would be its, not “it’s”, because “it’s” means “it is”. And since this is a critical mistake, that’s going to have to be a D+…Don’t try to beat me at my own game 😉

Touché, @ChimbroDaPro

Yooooo! He actually did it y’all…

> [@Sarge](#):
>
> ☑ Good (it is converted but I like the composition)

Erm, actually 🤓 ☝ it _was_ converted in order for me to have a template of your profile pictures, but it looked _ **AWFUL** _ so I ended up changing each of them by quite a lot. You can see this with @DangerNoodle and @AbstractDesigner’s profile pictures in the game. If you noticed, @Unique’s pfp in the game is really bad, and that was _STILL_ after me editing it by a lot. So, uh… yeah.

> [@Sarge](#):
>
> (it crashes if you type in nothing in the text prompt)

Oof. lol, yeah, I only put in one text prompt cuz it was being super problematic.

> [@Sarge](#):
>
> One criticism I have of this is that it’s often not very clear in which direction an option will take me. Like, I could think I have chosen all the right options but end up getting a worse ending than I hoped.

True… I did that so that the player would want to replay the game to figure out which ending to try and get, but I guess it can get really get annoying to go through **EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE SITUATION**. So, yeah, thanks for that!

> [@Sarge](#):
>
> For example, being able to open the notification panel. It’s kind of a shame you didn’t make any use of it, but oh well.

AAAAHHHHHHH! I know, I was so inclined to do something with it! The thing is that I did that notification panel thing _ **FIRST** _, but then I realised that I was under a time limit and decided to move on to the other UI as well as the story. But you are so right, it would be so epic if you could get notifications on other topics. If my iPad doesn’t crash when I open it (which it unquestionably will), I would change this first.

> [@Sarge](#):
>
> Considering the art, while it is converted

Wow, you really thought it was just completely converted and I did nothing, didn’t you? Honestly, I can’t blame you. I mean, you’re actually not wrong. I did convert the images. All I’m saying is that they’d look _a lot_ worse if I didn’t, you know, do something.

Woooow… you just _ **HAD** _ to get your revenge, didn’t you Mr. @Sarge?

> [@ChimbroDaPro](#):
>
> This game crashed my computer, with it’s 1641 blocks!

Honestly, though, you are one strict teacher… EVERYONE makes that mistake. I thought I’d be getting a B- for that, honestly. But a D+?! Cruel, I tell you.
