Skill Quest (Hidden Object Game) - Updated

Hey guys! This is my first attempt at a Stencyl game, I do have some things to add to finish the level off. The client only wants one scene for now, so i'm trying to end it with sort of a cliffhanger to leave you wanting more.

Hi
some thoughts:

• why cant i click anywhere to continue in the start screen?
• the light effect is causing heavy performance issues
• the naming of some objects can be much better (you ask for a light bulb, i click the bulb in the middle but the system wants me to click on another one (same with various hammers)- you should avoid that
• you should implement a hint if players are stuck
• the objects should have some overpainting to make them fit better into the background
• new objects should fill up the lower interface and not just one slot - that feels weird
• i like the music

I hope that helps,
All the best!

The game has awesome graphics man , very nice game, some click issues though but overall is very very nice.
one more thing ,why the game is not on stencyl arcade?

Thanks for the feedback guys! I guess i'll put it up on the arcade later. Nice tip on the lighting effects causing some issues. I'll work on those suggestions today. Thanks again!

great work, nice music

So...i've updated it, included hints, a better layout and an actual ending let me know what you guys think.

P.S It's also on the arcade! :

Added in a leaderboard for the fastest finisher.

continue the good work

Hi!

good progress.

• i would limit the hints - you can build in a cool down for using it (for example us it every 30 seconds) now it takes away too much fun
• i still would allow "click anywhere to continue" in the start screen
• try to overpaint some objects a bit - add some shadows and lightning to fit them better into the background

You should play some free hidden object games on bigfish.com to get some inspiration of what i am talking about.
Cheers!

Awesome stuff guys! So yeah, I love the suggestion on the hints, and i'll adjust the start screen.
As for the overpainting, they aren't paying me enough for that

I'll see about the other stuff since it will expand my Stencyl abilities.

Good stuff, the only thing I would have to add is that the scene (in my opinion) needs to be busier. I.E a lot more objects to help disguise the objects your looking for.

Other than that, great work!

Thanks for checking it out! It's getting lots of plays
