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 underrated!

(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!

This game is from a MAGS competition where part of the rules is to have a confusing GUI. Unfortunately, that makes the game rather strange to people playing it out of context. With that extra info, the game is playable and is a standard shortie. Or close to it.

Game had music and speech , not sure how the game panned out though as I gave up playing it as text was virtually impossible to read, and any comments etc made when an object was highlighted I was unable to read as they were more or less off screen. Tried making changes to the screen settings but made no difference.
