Beta Test. Mad Cow Martha 3
« on: October 06, 2009, 02:51:31 pm »

Hi,

Our next game Mad Cow Martha 3: Escape from Hospital is nearly finished. It would be great, if you could give it a try and provide some feedback, how you find the game or how we can improve it!

It handles from Mad Cow Martha. She has broken here ribs while she was trampoline jumping. Now she is in hospital...she is bored and want to get out...

The main idea is, that you can't control Martha herself, just the surrounding!

Screenshots:





There are six demo levels to show, how the final game could look like. The final version will have 30 levels with increasing difficulty.

You can download the game here (MIDP 2.x, 120x160 or bigger):

or download it directly to your phone:

Have fun and thanks for your feedback!

We've had a few plays, and here is our feedback


We regard the game as an arcade game, not a casual game.

We think the painkillers should look more like pills, instead of a yellow round thingy.
It's a bit difficult to see the numbers on the arrows.

We understand that we're looking through the wall, but it looks like the building has fallen apart. It doesn't mean anything for the actual gameplay though.

We'd like the screen to scroll by much smoother. With the current 5px/frame movement, it's difficult to see what you need to press. Not friendly for the eyes.

It's great that the player has options of where to go.

CT is about 15 on W760 and K800.

All in all, we find this game quite good. Has lots of potential.

Thanks for your feedback, Mr.Lou.

Is this good or bad?!

It's a bit difficult to see the numbers on the arrows.
Yes, I know. I'll try to make the arrow thing a bit more readable.

We'd like the screen to scroll by much smoother. With the current 5px/frame movement, it's difficult to see what you need to press. Not friendly for the eyes.
That is not so easy to achieve, I'm afraid. The scrolling offset is increased with the speed of Martha. So more speed more offset...

All in all, we find this game quite good. Has lots of potential.
Thanks!

Well, we love arcade games, but it's our experience that it's not for the youngsters of today. Our Ukko's Journey is a hit mostly among retro-gamers, who's used to a little bit of challenge (and prefers a challenge), while the younger group mostly gives up after 2 minutes if they don't understand how the game is played.
I'd guess a lot of people in that group would drop MC Martha 3 after being caught by the old lady a few times, simply because they don't get the gameplay, while the retro-gamers will love it for exactly that same gameplay.

You *could* make it a little bit more obvious what obstacles HAS to be removed, and which ones are a choice... But I don't know. Depends who your target group is I guess. To target the retro-gamers, not much has to change. But to target that younger group, you have to explain a whole lot more in e.g. a tutorial level. Very few from that group reads the instructions, and they have no patience like we used to have in that age. ;-)

Of course. Any game is great for a certain group of people. It's merely about marketing in the media read/viewed by that same group.

And even if they read our instructions, they won't understand a thing  Tongue

hehe, that's probably also true. Smiley

We have improved some things, mainly we have done more and better levels. Now there are 21 levels with increasing difficulty. Starts very easy...in the end it gets pretty hard.

It would be great if you could give Mad Cow Martha a try and provide some feedback!

Thanks in advance...

Since you sent the game to us a few days ago, we've been playing for a while.

Generally we think it has become much harder now. We like the new levels, but they seem too difficult.

We don't really have much else feedback at this time, but will probably write later.

Thanks Lou,

I had a look at the code, where you get "punished" for wrongly pressed keys and it contained an error. So now it should be easier, I guess. I have updated the download file...please give it another try.

Ok, downloaded. Will get back to you later.

Blue would like some kind of feedback to tell her that she did infact get the pills, in order to not be in doubt whether they disappeared just before getting to them.

I have extended the pills animation...now they start dropping after a while to tell you that it was to late.

Updated the download again...

Dropping? But isn't that what they do when you click the button too?
