Hey, anyone wanna tell me some cricket terminology? I'm going to some cricket team party next weeks friday (my godfather play in their team and has birthday). Just some nitpicking to talk about, like, what's with the pipesystem if there's no sink on them, or why have a paddle if you don't have a canoe :)

Here's a few for you:
A 'Slip' is a fielding position slightly to the right/left of the wicketkeeper.
'Hazzat?' is an appeal a bowler can make if he thinks the batsman is out, this is a shortened and more common way of saying 'How was that?'.
A bouncer is a type of ball where the ball rises much more than normally, hence the name.
A Yorker is when the ball is bowled closer to the batsman than normal (around the foot).
A googly spins the other way, from off to leg, into a right-handed batsman.
The slider (a straight ball delivered from the front of the hand) is to be compared with the zooter (a straight ball delivered out of the back of the hand).

More cricket terms can be found here on Wikipedia, here.

Edit: I've just seen the India Vs Bermuda score (413 for 5 with Dravid hitting the last ball for 6), great innings for india with the ( now cult figure) Dwain Leverock's 10 overs going for 96! It looks at the moment that Australia and India are the teams to watch, bearing in mind the teams they are playing are new to the competition.

P.S Good luck Timosity, AGS is behind you!

This looks good, I hope it is as good as your last game!

Although the screenshots doesn't give me much of an urge to download...

In the walkthrough, it says to give the shirt to the naked guy, but I don't understand this, i've tried the planet with the naked people flying but they won't accept.

Just seen the WI score. 241-9 I think.

I saw up to 40 overs and just turned it off, without Samuels it was one of the dullest one day innings I have even seen. With batsmen defending, and giving maidens to the bowlers in the middle overs. I thought the WI would really 'go' for it as it was the first match of the world cup, on home soil I might add. But they didn't, and I like many felt dissapointed. But having said this, it might just not be a batting pitch with Pakistan already 39-3 off 10 overs.

Ah, the feet. My mistake.
#289
I think that the walkthrough is slightly wrong
Spoiler
At one point the walkthrough tells the player to:
'push the WMW again
push the 'W' then 'M' then the next 'W'
press the Woman to the left figure
press the Man figure
press the Woman to the right figure
pick up the starpass pieces'
When I do this nothing happens, no starpass :(

I thought that this game had many nice aspects, e.g graphics, witty dialogue. But I thought that the puzzles were a bit too easy, as for once I didn't need to ask for help! Great game though, well worth the download.
#291
It's a nice game, but you forgot rule number one:

Turn off 'Debug Mode'!!!

What is he meant to be? A policeman?

I would advise you add a belt, as his trousers seem to go suspiciously high...

Othere than that it seems great!

1:Ã,  How would I go about making the front of the console to look 3D.Ã,  I imagine it'll be with shading, but how exactly?

Make parts of the console 'Buldge' out. This would be my opinion.

2:Ã,  How do I make that circle on the left wall look like a light.Ã,  Even though the shadows on everything else are in the right direction, when you look at the light, it just looks like a circle

Make it look like light is coming out by adding parts of light in places.

You can also write @SCORETEXT@ to show what their current score is out of e.g. 10/20 I think.

I think that there can be some improvements made, as the shadows are completly different to what they should be. Also the machine on the left needs some improvement to make it look more realistic, as the part of the machine underneath the window seems completly 2D. Hope this helps

I like the scaley texture! Although I think that the tail seems somewhat odd (It seems too centered and there could be something on the end of the tail), and the left leg is not in proportion with the right, other than that it looks good.

His shoe on the right (on his left foot) looks a bit strange. His left leg also looks a little funny.

I agree with Ben, my only other suggestion would be that his legs seem too skinny, so try to widen up the trousers, that is, unless you are trying to go for those trousers like this here

Just finished it, it was surprize that it was quite good!
Worth the download, although I didn't see the point of the music player...
