it's no better than my game so i can't see why you are commenting badly on my game

total rubish

This is harder than it looks at first. Very easy to blunder onto the wrong dot.

famisamis:

I will take your suggestion, and reset the scores before too many play it.

I thought the game was stupid at first, but the dot placement does make it different from the other US state game(s).

Thanks for the feedback, and I will delete that other game, which actually is really lame.

famisamis  April 26, 2007

I think you should reset the high scores and keep this game published.

The way the dots are arranged provide a unique challenge. It's a good game.

I think the general consensus on the site is that if the game is changed the scores should be reset. I think I haven't been very good about this sometimes. In fact, I didn't even think about it until someone suggested it in another game. My changes were little so I didn't think about it. But, I reset them now when I make changes.

If you want to play some well-made games, look for ones by David (the site creator). Doffa and niklas have made some good ones as well...and that's only naming a few. There are a lot of quality games here and it's easy to find ones where the creators really take it seriously. They really try to do their research and make sure it's a playable game.

I have no idea whether other people are cheating. I don't think they are, at least not on a large scale. Maybe somebody has, but not most people.

On the other hand, it does raise a question: If you retool a game (perhaps in response to comments from other users who suggest additions), should you reset the scores? It would be natural not to: adding one or two points doesn't seem like much. But it certainly could make a time difference.

And I agree with you: for me, being first isn't the point: I just enjoy the games. But I know that some people are very competitive. If you change a game in this way, are you making it unfair in the sense that people play at different times?

My question to you now is:

Should I reset the scores here, since I obviously did cheat?

famisamis  April 26, 2007

Fair point.

Does that mean you think other game creators are cheating? I think it would be obvious now especially with the point you're making here. I think for the most part people are honest about it. Besides, being first place isn't always the point. It's just a game anyway.

you make good points, though.

In other words, my "high score" is meaningless.

And yes, I'll delete this game in a couple of days.

Or at least, I'll reset the scores. I actually kind of like the game otherwise.
