FLASH: TimeTrek Adventure Game

[Alex Burrows]

Hey Richard,


Thanks for such great feedback we really appreciate the time you took to

complete the game - and honestly well done - you would not believe the

number of adults that can't complete it or figure out some of the

puzzles!


The most difficult thing for people seems to be the jungle scene with

the venus flytrap and the snake thing...but you are right  - 10 minutes

to figure out the math/time thing is pretty bad!! :)


Thanks again,


Alex

who went to the site to just have a look...


I spent an hour there! Add a mixture of no sleep, being kid at heart and

a

stubborn Taurus, there was no way I was going to let this kids game beat

me!


I went and got every part of that damn blueprint and thought it was

great.

The graphics were great, the animation was great, the game play itself

was

great, the sound was great. The whole experience was great.


>From a commercial point of view, interactive education games are big

bucks

these days, and the more homes that get cable modems and the like, 7MB

isn't going to be that big. Throw in a few product placements (change

the

fun park to Disneyland, and Egypt to McDonalds) and get some traffic

through the site and it would surely pay for itself and them some.



kind regards,

Richard McLean


ps  I don't know if I should admit It, but it took me 10 minutes to get

that time thing right :-)
