I need testers for a new chinchilla game
chinclub:
I just completed my first full flash game for the Chinchilla Club member's area. There are a lot of chinchilla themed games on the site already but this is the first chinchilla themed game in flash and the first one I created myself. I am so excited to hear everyone's thoughts before I start on my next game so I decided to open this one up to everyone for awhile to try.
You don't have to be a club member to play this game, but if it tries to submit your score you will be taken to a password protected area. Just hit your back button to play again.
Its a hidden object game with three different pictures to choose from. Each picture is harder than the one before. You have 30 seconds to try to click on all of the pictures listed in the box. Please give it a try and then let me know what you think. Good and bad.
You will probably find it irritating that there isn't a play again button on the final screen. That is because club members will always be submitting the score and then returning to the game from the next page. Those of you who are not club members just have to reload the page to play again.

Thanks for trying it and I look forward to your feedback and ideas for future games.

I was just told that some people didn't see the chinchilla game, they saw a pearl hunt game instead. I fixed the script error. So if you didn't see the Hidden Pictures game, please try again.

It works very well on my computer. Some of the graphics are obviously cut out and maybe some refinements can be made to the edges. The broom is a case in point. You should increase the tolerance of the masking tool that you are using and compare it to a dark background. Which really seems minor to me, btw.
A major flaw is that is not immediately obvious as to what the object of the game is. You might actually want to state "Click on each object in the picture that appears on the list. You have exactly 30 seconds." and then underneath have a button that says "Start".
30 seconds seems too short as well. I recommend shooting for a two to five minute timeframe just as a personal preference. I might adjust the time based on the average percentage of objects found by most users. Looks like I averaged maybe 10 percent on the first three runs. Maybe increase the time until the average user approaches 50% or higher.
I'm not sure how the scoring is integrated into the game. I would want it to bring the data in from the database and make a list of the top 20 or so scores. It might be fun to have a ranking that will update every 10 seconds. A countdown timer would be nice as well.
Have fun

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the great feedback. The game was created for the members area and on that page there is a description of how to play the game which is why I didn't include it in the actual game itself.
I have never played with flash before and downloaded the free 30 day trial of adobe to play around with it. It seems a little harder for me to pick up than php but since I'm self teaching and rushing to learn it in a few days I'm sure I am missing a lot. I hate to take a lot of time since I can't afford the full copy of the software at $700. ::wow:: Only 10 days left on the trial. :)
Anyway, since these will be one time build games and it only has 3 levels I thought 30 secs was best. Otherwise it would be played once or twice and mastered. With 30 seconds I figure people could play again and again and without quite figuring out everything. As for the counter...honestly, I just couldn't make the darn thing work! :D
Scoring...yet another area that eludes me! I did figure out how to make a button go to a URL so basically if you find everything you get one score and if you don't you get another. When you submit score it sends you to one URL or the other which then adds your score to your account in the database through PHP code.
