Help me test our new game!

[Scarydog]

Hi All,

We have put together a wee flash game and need some people to have a look and let us know what they think.

It's at http://www.djbattle.co.nz

To play, answer three questions: Where would you like to learn, What would you like to learn and Who would you like to teach you. It then makes a 3D character from photos on Flickr and the DJ with the most popular answers wins.

Did it load fast enough?
Did it ask you to upgrade Flash?
Was it fun.

All comments appreciated!

Thanks :-)

how do u play???

[Nagash]

Alright, gave it a go.

I had to install Flash Player 9, but I just blame my lack fo watching or playing Flash items in blardy ages.

It loaded up in about 12 seconds, perfectly fine for me.

Was it fun..? Err, besides the fact that I had no clue what I was meant to do with the exception of typing words for questions that didn't really make much sense, yes. I think I enjoyed it.

For example.. one opponent I got:

Where are you learning? Water (This should be swapped in position with question two, make more sense..)
What are you learning? Cat (how do you learn cat?!)
Who's teaching? Kirk (Star Trek fetish?)

And I answered, Ocean, Swim, God and won somehow?! Not sure on the criteria of winning.


Was a good game, and the people with random skins were entertaining to watch, I just didn't really understand what the hell I was doing..

No glitches that I experianced, except once the man came with just his wire frame, no skins. But it all seems to be set up quite well.

From a person who used to design Flash Games, well done!

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback, will have to talk to the client about explaining what you are meant to do a bit better :-)

how the fuck do you play, to be truthful it was kinda like eating 70 year old pussie....exciting trying something new but left you wondering why you tried it..

[Scarydog]

Ha ha, Ok maybe we need to make it more obvious (and fun!)

[Street Gerbil]

With internet download manager v5.11 it didn't work at all.
Offered to download a .z file which I had nothing to do with.

[cowboyz]

huh??????????????????

[Lteejay]

Loaded fine, no error messages or glitchers. But had no idea what it was all about.

[imdying]

Never got past this :(

[Scarydog]

Obviously there are some glitches to work out! We'll have a better version up soon.

[avgas]

sorry im gonna have to go with the other as what the hell do you do?
i did nothing and got 293rd place, i randomly clicked and scrolled like a retarded kid and got 493rd place.
so i ask you - is it better to be a dead dj or a retarded one?

Loaded very fast (6 secs) without any issue.

I answered the questions, and apparently battled someone but I'm not sure how I lost, why I lost or why the other guy won <_<

[Jorja]

well it loaded fast enough
I needed to install a newer version of flash player but again it was fast to install.

Where =sky
What=flying
and teaching=superman

somehow I won. Still not really sure what the game is about or how it is played though.

Could you enlighten me?

[Scarydog]

Yes, it is a bit hard to understand. Essentially you are battling on the popularity of the words you put in. Whoever has the most popular words, according to Flickr, wins :-)

Yes, it is a bit hard to understand. Essentially you are battling on the popularity of the words you put in. Whoever has the most popular words, according to Flickr, wins :-)

Does that mean that it doesn't actually matter what words you put in, in regards to answering the question?

I.e.

What learning? Jesus
Who from? Iron Maiden
Where? George Bush

Which would all be popular words i'd imagine could win?

Obviously, winning isn't everything especially on an internet Flash game.. and people would just play the game, for the game's purpose, but is that the criteria?

[Scarydog]

Yes, you dont have to answer the questions really. I spose the fun is in trying to beat someone else or just making a cool character.

Try entering fo'shizzle as the first answer :-)

Hi All,

We have made a couple of small changes to the site over the last day or so. The key change is that it now displays instructions before you start the battle. It's an extra click but we are hoping it will give users more of the context.

I'm keen to know what you'all think, is it worth the extra click or is it still unclear what is going on?
