Feel Free To Post Your Own Game High Scores!

This game is great. I like the graphics and the message system. It's simple, but has some fun stuff to do. And is it their birthdays or is it Christmas in 7 days?

Wow, really? Thanks. . Oh, It's Christmas in 7 days.

and Feel free to give it a rating!

The screenies looks good, downloading.

EDIT: This game was awesome! so many mini games, and so many ppl to talk with! Wonderful!

Thanks!
There's a snow particle system implemented in the game, which adds to the christmas feel =)

EDIT - WOW! Thanks!

Great for a first game. At first the graphics of the house kinda disappointed me, but then when I got outside I was happy again. It's good that you did the graphics yourself and made them good, especially it being your first game.

Thanks! Yeah... I couldn't change the layout of the house,
because....
Well...
there's a specific event that will happen in your house later in the
game, and it requires the whole house to be in it's correct layout.

You'll figure it out if you keep playing

Bump =) teehee

I'm still playing the game, it's really good. The graphics' styles are out of sync but it's alot of fun going around playing minigames to get money and buy stuff.

I'll post back once I've played the game more.

That was fun, I got 61/80 (76%) Good game overall, it was fun playing ^^

Really? Thanks! You're the first person who posted their 'Highscore'!

That's a good score by the way.

and thanks for the comment!

Feel free to post your high scores!

Wow,this is a quality first game.Looks like you put alot of hard work into this.I'll be glad to see your future projects!
Also,im thinking that you should make the fish you catch items-and you sell them later.
I wish life were more like this game...then i could 800 dollars by throwing darts at a circle!My favorite minigame,by the way.

The link doesn't work

Link still works for me void.
You have to right click, save target as.
(Or if your a mozilla firefox user: right click, save link as...)

You should make another game similar to this (different though of course), because this game is alot of fun!

works for me ( i got 66% ) but i think there is a bug or somthng i bought 9 presents and at the end i onley got 7 to give away so i couldint gove someone a present

but overall WOW it AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Don't worry, 66% is a pretty good HIGHSCORE.

- Yeah, you have to right click > save target as... to download it.

- Wow, Thanks! Oh, um.. That isnt really an error,

it's just that you can only buy 1 of the SAME ITEM. So in total,

you can have up to 27 different items, because you can't give

the SAME ITEM to more then 1 person.

Nice game,it's pretty original and I love the minigames .Keep up the good work.

hi, im jpanda, part of this creation too, part of the eternallite team hehehe i did the art and wizardii did all the programming =)
=)
is it that good LOL

you see, its kinda of a 1 time game but try and get different scores, the ending music will be different

and thanks for all the comments guys


we will be back! lol

This game was good. I loved the concept behind it. It was completely nonviolent, and it suprisingly actually captured the feel of frantic shopping.

Things I really dug about this game:

Main Map Graphics - The main map was nice. Everything came together perfectly and gave it a feel of winter holidays.

Character Graphics - The close up shots were nice.

The Music - The music also gave a good feeling of Christmas.

The Mini Games - Most of the minigames were fun. My personal favorites were the dog watching and the dart.

The End Scene - Just nice. A shame the MP3 was such low quality. (bitwise I mean)

The fact that you could determine you score by paying attention in game!

Things I did not dig:

Graphics in mingames - alot of the minigame graphics looked rushed and incomplete. Compared to the rest of the game they were a bit obvious.

The minigames - One minigame in particular made me mad. That was the guessing game. Complete random chance is seldom fun.

Figuring out what people wanted - It was difficult to determine what set off the games auto item identifier. I thought it was when you talked to people, but go figure.

Well, good game. I'll be keeping an eye on things you make in the future.

Oh yeah, to give you a completely useless number: 10099/8.6???

d/loading will edit with reply

Edit: Awesome!!! 10/10 100% best game I've ever seen. I played for two hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Highscore 71%

really? thanks soo much, these comments are very encouraging, who knows.. maybe we'll make more games with this genre!

omg that was a great game!!! i clocked it got 68% but my score was 54??


u should make a medievil rpg lol!1

nice game... good grafix... but a bit short

The minigames and grafix is very good too

I enjoyed this a lot. It's very rare to find a game where your aim is not only non-violent but also completely selfless, and it makes a nice change. The RPG elements were good, and I like the idea of working to a time limit - by keeping the gamespan short nd the amount of stuff to do high, you increase replay vlue greatly.

The graphics were pretty good, especially for your first game. The anime style was well realised if a little cliched. However, it's obvious where corners have been cut: For instance, the animation on the NPCs. It's very obvious that what you've done is horizontally flip their sprites instead of redrawing them. It doesn't make too much of a diffference until you meet people with writing on their shirts...

The gameplay is well-realised. The RPG engine is a good one, with what seems to be a solid inventory system. Some of the dialogue could have been better, although dialogue is a difficult thing to write and I think you did pretty well overall. I do wish, however, that a bit more imagination had been put into the minigames. Most of them were good - the fishing and darts games were especially enjoyable - but some of the games - especially the psychic "Guess what card I'm looking at" game - could have been better. And, as others have mentioned, I found it a little difficult to discover what my friends liked - after buying information on my feinds, I bought one of them a cuddly toy because they liked "cute" things, only to be given a really low mark.

So yeah, this game has a few little flaws, but they don't stop this being a wonderful little game. The solid gameplay, the cute graphics, and the non-violent, warmhearted theme, coupled with the replay value of trying out different gift combinations, mean I'll definitely play this again.

Wow. Thanks! Yeah... when we wrote "cute things", we kind of meant "certain" cute things, because it was a real drag programming so many different comments for every friend, considering there are 8 of them. It sums up to an approximate total of 200 comments for the ending, so we kind of left out a few of the objects.

But other than that, thanks for the detailed comment!

This game looks awesome.

Unfortunately, I can't download. Corrupt zip file, so I can't try it. It is probably your host.

Use Microtech. Free upload there!

Are you sure? did you right click > Save Target As...

d/loading Ill edit w/ comments

Proof!

I told you so!

Then when I go to unextract it, it tells me that the zip is empty...

Let me check...

It seems to work for me... hmm...

What software are you using to unzip it?

*Try using WinZip or WinRar, Those two work very well.

EDIT - I just redownloaded the whole file, and ran it,
it works fine! Try downloading again. =)

great game! ^___^

had fun playing, but didnt get to finish :-(
so many side quests! I love it! But I hate the time limit \ _ / reminds me of the one in Majora's Mask...

lol. Thanks! Yeah, but the time limit is there so that you don't play forever! lol, cuz if you play forever, sooner or later, you can get bored.

So that's why we added a computer clock to the game.

BTW, thanks for the comment!

I'm going to make one suggestion ( Is this REALLY your first game?!?!?) and that is to make a way to randomize friends, so its different each time...but thats gonna be in the PLUS edition if anything...

Yes, It is our first game, in a sense, I've been experimenting with GM for 3 years, but this is our first game, in theory. =)

After 3 years, I've never made a fully functional game. So this is a first! =D

10/10
Best Game on Game Maker I have ever played!
A++++++++++++++++==
MAKE MORE!

Wow! Really? Thanks! Do you guys have any suggestions for improvements?

To make it a bit better (and harder) have it that you have to find something for someone before they'll let you pass by them. Maybe making the world bigger could make it A+++++, becuase this is A++++ (lol).

lol... Hmmm... yeah, the world "could" be a bit bigger, but I was thinking of leaving it that way, so that it doesn't get "too big", and the player wouldn't be able to find their way around it.

But yeah, this was more of a mini-RPG, but in the near future... we're planning on making a "Full-Time RPG".

I honestly liked this game and think that it must of taken some good determination to make. G'job dude.

Fun, but...a little boring
Some minigames lack certain quality, like the one with the lawnmower

But nonetheless:

im downloading now, look intersting!!

once i play for 7 days you should be able to keep on playing and buy the ultimate present hehe for next christmas

does the environment change time aswell??
from nite to day etc?

I played through to the end my first time. I only got 78%.
I must say, this game is very creative, I love the idea!
There was a very nice diversity in the minigames, and I found most of them pretty fun. I also like how you threw in non minigame events to do to gain money. Nice balance there. I respect that you made all the graphics custom too. They were pretty good, and the black and white drawings showing the thief were a nice touch. Some of the dialogue is pretty amusing too.
Impressive. 8.5/10

I see you're very observant! Yes, it does change from night to day as time progresses! The brightness of the flooring was created using three different backgrounds! That way, I don't need to change to Exclusive mode, and use the gamma controls.



Don't worry, that's a great high score!


Oh! That gives me an Idea! I can make a high score list of the top 3 people!
Go check the front page for Top high scores!

Whoa! 78% is the highest anyone's posted?

Fun and good game.

Hi; could you check the program/link for accuracy or, if it's ok, add an alternate link? I've tried multiple times (using the right click/save) and I get a 1 second download with the file being about 39k. Of course, it's a corrupt zip...but other folks are getting it fine, apparently.

I put a post earlier but now here is more!

The graphics were really nice and I love that they were custom. Most first games are all from the resource pack.

The menus were good.

The ending sequence was very rewarding and I watctched it 3 times.

I was kinda getting sick of the mini games and wished there was more. The Achery tournement should not take that long because it is that rewarding.

A mini map or map would be great. I didn't get lost but it would be easier to find ur way aroung!

The prizes were cul!

My favorite part was talking to random people!

graphics: 9.4/10
Programming: 10/10
gameplay: 8.8/10
music: 10/10
Overall: 10/10!

Keep up the good work I cannot wait for more!

Whoops. Ignore my previous post. I can't explain the problem, but it downloaded completely this time. I'm glad I kept trying.

----

Like it was mentioned, it is nice to have something non-violent to play once in a while. Although the RPG-type isn't my favourite, I found it to be a pleasant game that I'll enjoy even more when the Christmas-season is here. Thanks.

Does someone have a mirror for d/l?

After more than ten tries, i only receive an 11kB corrupted .zip.
I think angelfire doesn't like me.

dangit i thought i was gonna git the best score. i got 78% btw that tip giver was super helpful . i felt like i reallly was rushing at the end.

P.S. how can someone give an $1000 Xbox a 6/10
