didnt wanna download this coz of one main reason and some smaller reasons main reason: DESCRIPTION MUST BE ALOT BETTER

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

seems okay... stuck on the first question though. i guess you must be english...

 

[ap0calypse]

The first question was rather simple, I thought the second was also simple, but it didn't work.

Second Level

Riddle:
There were 2 ducks in front of a duck and 2 ducks behind a duck and one duck in the middle
How many ducks were there in total?

My Answer:
-3

Reason:

• .
• .
• .

Let's say every dot is duck:
- there are 2 ducks in front of a duck (the 2 first dots)
- There are 2 ducks behind a duck (the 2 last dots)
- There is a duck in the middle (the middle dot)
- There are 3 ducks in total (the 3 dots)

So, why is this wrong?

I've tried:
-3
-3 ducks
-3 duck
-3ducks
-3duck

None of them worked.
Give me the reason why my answer is wrong, normally there wouldn't be any typo's (test it 1 time and you've found all typo's)

I will wait untill you've given the reason my answer was wrong.
After that, I will test it again.

Edit:
Maybe you can create a quest per level?
Like this:

Level:
Riddle:
<Riddle>
Answer Example:
e.g.:
-# (Where # is a number)
-Word (Where "Word" is your answer).

When you test the map, just go through all levels without any cheats (if there are any), type your answers (it takes about 5-10min since you know the answers), if you cannot get past a level, open the trigger editor (it's still on, since you are testing the map), check the answer for that level.
Check if you've copied the typo for other players.
go on with testing

Game could not be started. No opposing team.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

thanks.

 

[magerox]

Give me more suggestions to improve this map please. Updated map to v0.3.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Add like, 3 hints per game. So you can get a hint on the riddle you're solving. 3 times pr. Game

You mean something like a skill then players can use the skill for hints?
3times per game or per level?

Here's my review, as I have said earlier (thanks for the update, it wasn't really smart of me either, but other people with the same problem will also be happy ^^).

• It's a Riddle-game without a real 'gameplay'
• It isn't original, though it hasn't been made a lot (good riddle-maps are hard to find, most of them contain lame riddles).
• The riddles are very fun to say at least, they aren't of those stupid, dumb riddles, but riddles where you actually have to think ^^
• There were no quests, which makes it a little bit harder, because you've got to find the answer all on your own
• There are no hints (maybe show a hint after X seconds, or after X wrong answers)
• Not an interessting terrain (probably isn't ment to), but a few things to clean it up would make it more comfortable to play.

Triggering a riddle-map is very simple, but because it is a riddle-map, I am not going to let this affect the rating.
I assume there aren't any leaks and all triggers are working exactly the way they are supposed to work.

• Riddle 1-3: Easy, but rather fun opening riddles.
• Riddle 4-5: Good lord, there were so many possible answers
• Riddle 6-7: Idem riddle 1-3 (very easy because of the doodads, though)
• Riddle 8-11: I already knew (variations) of those, but there are several possibilities as well
• Riddle 12-13: I have to admit... I googled them (I was really close to 13 though )

That's all, I'm sorry

It's a pretty good map, but it needs some work.
I would recommend using "as a substring", not "as an exact match" for some riddles, this will clear some common problems.
A few hints could also be usefull and, as I have already said before, say how you need to formulate your answer.
I will send you my answer of level 5, I hope you can do something about this (you can also make about 5 events per player per riddle, so he has a few options to formulate his answer).

I will rate this map 3/5

Most answers are quite simple only some riddles like the 1 with the number pattern needs time to do. Even if you don't know the answer, you can use the Skip Level skill (Only red)

RIDDLE MAP! FUCKING YEAH!!!!
i love riddle maps. please make more
can any one list a good selection of riddle maps?

btw gonna try it out now, if u need help with making riddles maybe i can help you.

 

[Psf_Kurt]

Ive just finished the map
had to skip 3 levels tho.
i didnt understand the chimmney one, the ant one, and other one.
anyways, take a look at some better riddle maps, and make your self a pro riddle map maker
count with me for testing or whatever, i love riddles

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

No, i meant that you could 3 times PER GAME could get a hint, by typing -hint. just so, if you're determined to finish the game, and don't want to look them all up, have a chance to do it... it might be single player only... for guys like me, Whom isn't not englishmen, and therefore haven't been bottlefed with those riddles, have a chance.

Reviewing a map of this genre is quite difficult, but I'll give it a try.

This is my review of Riddle Game v0.4

Pros:
-Required creative thinking.
-The levels were skip-able, so you were never forced to stay very long on a single riddle.

Cons:
-Not really replayable after you complete it once.
-The riddles were taken from other sources which you didn't credit.
-While creative, the idea has been done before.

Rating: 2.5 and recommended for approval.

I don't normally recommend maps with a score below 2.5, but you seem willing to continue updating this.

 

[ap0calypse]

Cons:
-The riddles were taken from other sources which you didn't credit.

I'm sorry to say this, but he has probably taken those riddles from a site.
If he credits the site, everyone will just check the site for the answers, that would ruin the game.

Also, those riddles have been invented a very long time ago, who is to say who invented those riddles?
The only thing I can say is that those sites didn't invent the riddles, they also just "took" them (and most of those sites don't give credits to wherever they got the riddles too).

This isn't a good argument in my opinion.

and please, change the background music...hell annoying

Riddle Game

I played the riddle game v0.4, and some of the question got bug. EXAMPLE:
==>Which month have 28 days. Correct answer: "-all / -every" but both won't work.
==>What is the biggest ant in the world. Correct answer: "-eleph-ant" but it won't work.
==>Some of them which you know it can't work. So why you let us wait for 3 minutes for red to use "skip level"????

So, does this creator got problem that he use hacked when testing?!?!

Fun but got bug. I seek your cooperation to attend to the bug.
