Well, *there you go.

Definately a winner in my book... er, mag. No wait, book! I really hope Tom and the guys take an interest in this, because I think the people have demand for it.

Excellent work man. Well done; you got my five.

I like this game, though it definately could have done with a bit more fine tuning; quite a few bugs in there, I think. To be honest I can't be bothered to list them because they all seem pretty obvious to me. Fix those up and you'd have a solid structure for future games.

In my opinion, "It" spawning on a line isn't a problem, I actually think that adds to it. Some might argue that the cross just packs a bit too much punch... maybe I'd agree with them, but I don't think negative scores are much of a problem because some people might want to see how low they can score and such.

Difficulty levels are good, music is good in my opinion (as in, it doesn't get annoying too soon). This just looks really promising. I can't wait to see what you bring out in the future, if you decide to build on this. You've probably got a lot to learn about actionscript, but I hope you find the motivation to keep at it.

Score: 8

Couple of things though. As someone mentioned before, the story text progresses way too fast for children to read. Also, a few of the words might be a bit "long".

In the controls section, you've put "Find the fruit as fast as you can" which might be initially confusing. The bottom portion of the screen is constantly animated which is a distraction and will probably make it difficult for kids to read the information.

Lastly, obviously, the Exit button appears to have no function.

Now, for the good parts. Labeling the items and showing their graphics in the Help section is good, though you could probably have done with adding in one for the moving obsticle.

The music and sounds are appropriate and clear. The graphics are well designed, bright and colorful. Text is a good size and I don't think has any spelling or grammar errors. Animation is fluid.

I could find no bugs as such, and everything else appeared to work perfectly.

This is a good game for children and I'm sure a great entry for this contest (of which I actually know nothing about yet so I'm sorry if this review wasn't quite what you were looking for. I'm just bored :P).

Great work and good luck!
