Cheat by pressing the "Z" Key.
This game is designed for kids in grades four to six for multiplication practice. It will ask you random multiplication questions, and will slowly get harder as you
progress throughout the game. For every 5 scores, to be specific. You have three lives, or chances, and once the run out, GAME OVER.
Enjoy, please give good critism, this only my second submission.
A few extra things to fix/add
The basic idea is good but there are a few things you still need to look at to make this something really good:
1) Have the option of turning the music off
2) Make "cheating" cost a life
3) Check the difficulty again. Your comments said it went up a notch in difficulty as you progressed but all of a sudden my game went from 5x0 to 22x20 to 8x3 to 19x23. Fixing that would make a bit more sense
4) Don't make it say "Win!" in the box where you type the number because you have to keep deleting it before you can type in your answer which gets irritating (and also I think Correct/Incorrect would make more sense)
Also if you wanted to make this really good you could add different game modes e.g. a timed mode where you have say a maximum of 15 seconds to get each answer correct otherwise you lose a life and stuff.
If this is going to be aimed at younger children and actually used for them then also making it slightly more graphically interesting would also be of benefit. There's nothing wrong with it as it is but I think the little ones might find it a bit boring =)
I realise its a lot to take on board (haha take on board... you learn from a board in class? ok nvm), but a few of them are just minor little things which once tweaked would convert my vote from a 2/5 to something around a 4
Hope all this helps you and good luck!
Fluorine =p
P.S. When I voted 2 on your thing I got some flash saying I was the saviour of this cos I got the final vote that made it pass so ya can at least dignify me with a response when ye find the time =D

Thanks, for making my submission pass judgement, and for the constructive review.
Great!
At first when I played this I was all like this is easy, but then it had two-digit numbers and I'm like..."Uh...Z?" and I got ti right! Lol! Great game! I likes it...even though it wasn't as fun as Halo or something like that. Nice job...now to go play somethinng like Halo...Wait! I don't have an Xbox! Now I have to multiply! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooo!!! Lol
Nice start...let's keep moving
I liked the way it ran but I think you need to add the answer when they get it wrong and possibly the method of how to get the right answer. It's a nice start but don't stop here.
not as bad as i thought.
this is really good for people who have trouble with math like my little sis.
