Bit of a challenge but...
It seems way too easy when you begin the game. I found getting all of the questions right until about 20 really easy.

You're right. The opening game is a bit too easy - perhaps a problem I could sort out.
Glad you enjoyed the later game though.

^^Good Points^^
A pretty solid memory type game here. There were a ton of flags, and they were all really small, which made the game pretty challenging to me. The game was easy to play and pretty fun as well.
^^Needs Improving^^
This does need some sound. At least some music would be nice, or perhaps some sound effects for choosing the flag. Also, it would be a lot harder if you had gone back and asked some flags a few times rather than just once.
LuckyLollipopLad responds:
You mean not added anything and asked people to remember which flag was Gambia's - for example?
I'm not sure I like that idea - I kinda like the way that just now there's 2 methods for knowing what to click - your short-term-memory and your knowledge of flags.
Still, I suppose it could make for an interesting alternate game mode...
I really never felt that games like this needed sound, but it's now clear that that's what the masses want.
Thanks for all the input!
I like, I approve
I enjoyed playing this- it is up my street indeed. I was disappointed with myself how badly I did at first, then I got the knack a bit and I learnt the flags a bit- which is good for me!
I started with about 7-10 flags for the first few goes, then got on to 17-20 after a bit. It crashed a few times with a error message about the movie containing something making Player 8 run slow. When it finally did that on my highest score-20, I lost patience with it.
I think it would benefit form better resolution pics- not necesarily bigger, just clearer as they are. We would learn more and those of us who know a fair few flags would benefit from our knowledge more- which is supposed to be part of it.
I look forward to the full range. At first 84 flags seems a lot, then you kinda get fed up the same ones after a bit. You could make the full range a level (or two)up.
I didn't miss music as such, but yes, you were lucky to score as well as you did without it. Sound is such a big part of NG. In fact if you think about it, you did well- this is one of the highest scoring soundless subs I know! If you are going to do it I trust you will do it well with a small selection of different styles of music (or other sounds?!) and an off button (I know, I'm a hypocrite!) If you could get National Anthems to play for the flag you lose on, that would be cool, but I guess way ambitious! 84 sound clips, or more!
As it is its good, do it up and it could really score.
Best Wishes,
Ice

I thought I sorted out that bug. The problem was that it doesn't pick the same flag 2x, but for some reason I think my array didn't reset after each game.
Meaning that when it runs out of flags, it currently crashes. Many apologies and I'll try to sort it out.
I mainly didn't include sound for the sake of a low filesize. I suppose you're right though - folk on NG expect to be supplied with tunes rather than having to open winamp or whatever.
The idea of national anthems is great! I'd love to do that, but I don't know if I could find them all out - specially with some really obscure countries.
Thanks for the great review!

too easy
the game is way too easy, whenever you ask a new question one mroe flaag apears, and its always the new flag.
LuckyLollipopLad responds:
Well, that's kinda the point. At the start, it's easy to remember what was there before, but once you get past 20 or 30, it's rather challenging.
So the start of the game gives you a chance to learn the flags, whilst later on knowing the flags gives you a real advantage.
I Fail
My knowledge of other country's flags fail.It was easy till I couldn't remember which of the ones I had already picked.Got to 14...I suck.
Average game.Didn't blow me outta the water,but doesn't suck.Only compaint I had was that the flags were a little small.Try enlarging them so you don't confuse flags that look similiar.
LuckyLollipopLad responds:
If I made them any larger, there wouldn't be enough space for all the flags to fit in.
If you play this repeatedly, you will learn to recognise the flags more easily! There's enough detail to identify them all, I reckon.
Stay funky!
