Jmtb02Game Review

Well this game certainly captures my attention from its quite stunning graphics and simple gameplay. The only problem I find is depth. One quick playthrough and thats it, thats all you've got. I find myself wanting more, deeper challenge "scribbles". Although I do have to admit it is a wonderful concept. More levels and this game could score a much better rating.

Gameplay: 4
Sound: 2 (Sound loop and a small blip is all this game offers)
Graphics: 5
Curve: 3
Overall: 3

Kindergarten Artist Badge
Level: Easy (5 points)
Requirements: Show off your artistic talent by completing all 20 drawings in under 100 seconds

Strategy: Just draw to your hearts content, but make it fast

In-Depth Strategy: Watch the numbers, just basically start at one and move to the flashing lights, be sure not to hit any on the way.

It's ok... Do you have the template for lazy writers like us :)

If the feedback is positive I'll give out the template through email

I like it. Maybe the review should be shorter, though, as I don't think people come to help sites to see what other people think about games. If you guys ever come out with a newsletter, though, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

I like it very much, it is neater and more organised than the last...

It's great as a viewer, but I don't like it as a writer. I sometimes like to get out of the limits and structure and start writing what I like, where I like. I feel that writing numbers for everything only with a small, general review is not ok. Scribbles is a short game, but you can't do this with, for example, Starfighter.

I also agree with extremepopcorn. It should be a review or a guide... not everything in one. If you want to read a guide, the title of the article is the badge name, and if you want to read a review you don't want to know how to get that badge you won 3 weeks ago.

And I don't like (sorry) having everything in one post (review, card challenge guide, badge/s) considering we are 13 writers with different thoughs each. It could be great with 2-3 writers, but not in this case.

Tried to give some constructive criticism, but I couldn't. o.o

Well I link to each section of the post within the post. It's not like you have to look through the review, just click through straight to the review by clicking on review or guide.

Meh... Even with linking instead of posting all of it at once, it still leaves some things to be desired. I don't really like templates, but if you are going to give it a template don't have such a horrible review type... It needs specific paragraphs for each category. I also wish we could start giving multiple reviews up, because although my opinions are well explained in my reviews, they certainly are not the only opinions. Extreme, as this is a blog, even if it is a guide oriented one, reviews are still appreciated.

aah, well I wasn't really looking into the review so much but the general first part that just links it all, you could have a bigger and better review, but I guess nobody wants the new template so it won't be changed
