I just downloaded the demo. I'd say it's a pretty fun game. I intended to only play for a few minutes to get a feel for it, but ended up not stopping till I got all the animals The graphics could be better, but the gameplay is what counts in the end, and like I said, the game IS fun. If I could give some detailed criticisms: 1. The textures do need work. There's no shortage of seamless textures on the net, both free and commercial, so this shouldn't be too hard to fix for a future release. 2. The ark is very well designed, but it needs some lights! 3. Lose the prefabs that don't belong in the ark. A computer?? I was kinda thrown off by that. 4. When Noah runs, he looks like The Flash. It's way too fast, although I did have some fun dashing from one end of the level to another 5. Some of the animals look too small. The giraffe and the elephant could both stand to be much bigger. Overall, though, I think it's a great effort, and I can certainly see kids enjoying it a lot. Cheers!

The demo is fun, really! But the cover of your CD...bad! IT's very empty. I hope its not the final version

Congratulation for this good rating!
Why is the resolution limited to 640x480?
Is this game made with the A5 [EDIT]Standard (I wrote Extra)[/EDIT]?
Maybe I find the answer by playing it, but the download file is a bit
to big for my 56K Modem.

@ Blindleader
A new CD cover is here! <see below>
Thanks to Marty Bee for making it happen!
@ Rich E.
It started with A5 com, but ended with A6 com. 2 years ago when I started it, 640x480 was considered "okay", but nowadays it's not as good. I fixed the resolution, because I use many panels in the game. These panels are based on .pcx or .bmp files. The "Hide and Seek", "Adventure" and even the main menu has animated panels.
So, if the user were allowed to change the resolution to high graphics mode, the engine itself could do it easily, but the panels would look small and out of place.
The panels are important to game play. If I re-size and re-do all of the panels, then I could fix the resolution to a higher graphics mode and I may still do that someday...
About the download size:
I tried to make it as small as possible. I considered removing more creatures to make it smaller, but then the zoo effect and gameplay of the shareware version would have been affected.
It still downloads on a 56k right? Maybe 3 hour download?
Just start the download, then go to church service and when you get back from church,then it will be downloaded?
