   Just a small thing: in the level passed screen, the top button should be Next level, then Level select and Main menu the last one. It’s more intuitive, I think

   Good, but this is hardly a development…you could ‘ve included it earlier. I thought you were going to include the highscore tables etc…

   I agree with RJ. Clicking through it I instinctively clicked on the wrong link due to its placement.

   It was pretty good, but you’ll notive that if you click to win and then click next level on level 5, then it’ll still keep going up (even though you’ve only got five levels!)

   And I noticed your logo on the side of the page – maybe you could include a bit more of the face, and make the grey part transparent.

   Your over simplification of the process hurts, yet it makes complete sense. Haha, have you thought about a multilayer scope for this design?

   Hi,
   I’m developing my *first* FLASH (8 + AS2) game
   (for the next one, I’ll try to switch to CS3 + AS3)

   I give you other suggestions (you probably (well) know them). The game skeleton should include:

   - SHOW HISCORE (from main menu)

   - GAME PAUSED (from THE GAME)

   - GAME COMPLETED (from LEVEL PASSED if
   all the levels have been completed)

   - GAME OVER screen (after one or more
   LEVEL FAILED if the game has a classic “N lives”
   mechanism)

   - SEND HISCORE (from GAME OVER or GAME COMPLETED)

   Some of these “states” can perhaps be represented
   simply by adding dedicated layers with
   one MC (e.g. a “PAUSE press P to continue”
   text showed when the game enter the GAME PAUSED state).

   Thank you for your great site!
