The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:

1 Cup	Not serious entertainment
2 Cups	A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups	A good game, worth playing
4 Cups	A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups	An outstanding, must-play game!

Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been under-rated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window

If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

AGS Panel Review

"This cute and enjoyable MAGS entry with a living-dead female protagonist, is given one last chance to correct some wrongs in her life. You'll chuckle at the jokes as she serves coffee and sandwiches while making her prize winning cake; I'm surprised she doesn't spill the coffee with her zombie walk. Excellent music and nice graphics. This short game is well worth the time."

Excellent game Ghost. I enjoyed this little beauty.

Good Game! The graphics were incredible! I felt a (expected or not) LucasArts feel in them. I recommend it!

I loved this cute little game, short but sweet, lovely graphics, hilarious lines, very original

What a great game. Exactly what i seek from an AGS short game. I didn't got stucked with some non-sense puzzle, all of them made sense, the overall mood was so cool. Great quality on sprites and backgrounds. It felt like an awesome friday night when something special is happening.

Very cute game, walking speed was slow, but the puzzles weren't frustrating, and the story was sweet. Definitely worth a playthrough.

The game was cute but it would have been better if it was longer. I wanted to keep playing

Quite a nice and cute little game. Go play it!

Very nice, well balanced game, good puzzles, nice extra moves, obviously a lot of work went into this! And the intro was very good for the athmosphere-setting and the overall involvement. Very nice story as well.

Lovely animation, detail and a heart-warming story. Very much recommendable!

Another cute, well polished and nicely put together little game from Ghost!

The artwork is great and there are some lovely animations for a lot of the actions. There were one or two items I didn't spot right away, but apart from that the puzzles are about the right difficulty and I never really got stuck.

My one criticism is that the intro intro is a bit on the long side, but once you get into the main game there's quite a bit of gameplay to balance that out. Length-wise its short (took me roughly half an hour), but that's still quite a bit longer than your average MAGS game.

Overall a really great game, if you're looking for a short but good game Chance Of The Dead is well worth your time.

This MAGS-game is really amusing and created with lovely graphics. It is not too difficult and has a nice atmosphere.
Especially that beautiful animation when Janet giggles and how she puts her legs when she walks are facinating to watch but there is a lot more. You should discover by your own! I also had a lot of fun on those funny comments of Janet and can recommend this game highly.

Nice one Ghost - very cool story that's a bit different to usual. Great retro feel here too. Thanks for letting me help!

Had the pleasure to beta test it.
Sweet, with some lovely lovely characters. Even if it is very short you won't forget it easily!
