3 3 2 On one side, this is a cool game with a good idea and nice graphics. On the other side, you have many bugs and unstable gameplay. But it's complete, playable and fun so congrats!
4 4 4 nice game :) btw, it died when i asked for highscores (/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0$ python run_game.py 30 20 10 20 30 40 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 190 180 320 330 340 350 350 350 350 350 200 150 160 170 180 190 200 190 150 160 170 180 190 [['ASD', '1000\n'], ['___', '0\n'], ['\n']] Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_game.py", line 16, in main.main() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/main.py", line 18, in main g= gui.Game ("menu") File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 217, in __init__ self._screens[self._start_with]() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 269, in menu self._screens[next]() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 647, in credits self._screens[next]() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 269, in menu self._screens[next]() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 320, in tutorial self._screens[next]() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 269, in menu self._screens[next]() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 622, in play self._screens[next](nextargs) File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 622, in play self._screens[next](nextargs) File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 269, in menu self._screens[next]() File "/home/Desktop/5/Pynxilla/ventus_virginis-1.0/lib/gui.py", line 370, in scores if int(i[1]) < self.get_current_score(): IndexError: list index out of range )
3 4 3 there are some problems releasing the virgins from the twisters. very similar to the package delivery game from last competition
3 4 2 the graphics are especially nice and the gameplay works. having to press page-up so often is a bit boring, but maybe I'm playing it wrong :)
2 4 4 Very nice graphics, unusual idea.
2 4 2 Interesting use of twisters. Gameplay is some times weird.
3 3 4 it's a funny minigame :) (could use some sound and music)
4 4 5 Lovely graphics! Please add some sounds. And one thing I don't understand... why do Greeks use Roman numerals for the level number?
3 4 4 Fun, and an interesting idea. Graphics are great. Sounds would have been nice. A minor bug is that sometimes I can't let go of the virgin.
3 4 3 Very good game, good fun.
4 3 3 The game has a great, funny concept and well polished graphics too, but it could be even funnier with some sound effects. The game is also clearly quite incomplete – the levels have zero variety, and more elements would make the gameplay seem fresh for a longer time. Sometimes the virgins also get stuck to the same twister that they are shot from, and a proper Readme file wouldn't hurt either.
3 3 4 Jua! Nice idea!
2 4 3 I think theres a problem with your collision detection - it was VERY hard to convince the game to actually throw the gal :(
2 3 2 It gets too difficult.
3 3 4 Interesting idea, but nothing to keep me playing after the first level. High score list crashed with gui.py", line 370, in scores if int(i[1]) < self.get_current_score(): IndexError: list index out of range
2 4 2 Funny premise. The artwork is pretty. The gameplay wasn't very challenging, but was rather annoying. (Especially with the way vortices recaptured virgins they'd just cast.) The levels are a bit repetitive. And, um, "Ventus Virginis" is Latin--kind of odd for a Greek themed game.
3 3 4 Muy divertido.
1 1 1 yes Fun for about thirty seconds, then crashes with: 2007-09-19 11:39:07.654 python[13119] An uncaught exception was raised 2007-09-19 11:39:07.654 python[13119] *** -[NSLayoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:]: given container does not appear in the list of containers for this NSLayoutManager. 2007-09-19 11:39:07.654 python[13119] *** Uncaught exception: *** -[NSLayoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:]: given container does not appear in the list of containers for this NSLayoutManager.
3 3 3 Hehe a fun idea :) Very nice graphics, the music is a bit lacking. I found the virging not letting go of the twister quite often. A couple more levels would improve the game, also.
3 3 4 Nice graphics and a cool idea..
3 5 4 This game is twisted in more ways than one. Not a very gentle way to treat one's virgins!

Very nicely implemented, with beautiful graphics throughout.

There seems to be something of a problem with the release action -- very often my virgin gets sucked right back into the tornado after I press the space bar, and it's very difficult to get her released.

3 2 4 Fun puzzle game - maybe resetting to the beginning of the level each "miss" is a little harsh.
5 5 5 Well done. This is phenomenal. Thank you!
3 3 4 Cool idea, quite fun but gets a bit repetitive.
2 3 4 Was annoying that you couldn't hold down page up and page down.
3 5 4 Nice pictures, hard to predict controls.
1 2 1 I couldn't figure out how to play; the "tutorial" was in fact plot/story, and not a tutorial at all. The readme file didn't provide clues either. I did figure out that the arrow keys changed the wind direction, but that didn't seem to have any effect on the rest of the game :( Also, there's no quit button (although the "scores" button crashed the game, so I guess that's kind of a quit button)
2 4 3 The game is a bit repetitive, and the gameplay reminds a bit to scorch-like games (with a twist). Artwork is very nice, some background music would've improved the mood a lot
3 4 4 Nice idea, nice graphics.. but I didn't really feel as if I was in control of the twister - it felt more like "set speed and velocity to that and the virgin will land in the next twister - otherwise she won't even fly" .. I don't think it IS handled like that, but it feels that way.
1 2 2 I don't like
3 3 3 Very nice idea and nice graphics, but somehow I was not able to throw the virgin every time o.O - She just got out of the twister to get back into it again immediately - who knows....
2 4 3 Virgin launch! yay! good idea and graphics but not very fun.
