Player Comments on Skipping School
The intro to this story is really, well, doesn’t make the reader want to read the story. The point of these blurbs really is to draw the reader into the story, sort of like the back cover of a book you might find in a store. “You have to go around and do something.” That really doesn’t sound like a story or a goal. I guess it is nice that you mention that 10 is the goal, but overall this page really doesn’t make one want to read the story. It could be improved a lot simply by hyping up the story a bit!
Then inside the story, well, there’s really almost nothing there! Sure, you have activities, but looking at the sky is an activity? Jumping? I just really don’t see much of a point here. Other than trying to gain 10 points, I don’t understand why I should do any of these things. And what’s the big deal about getting to 10? The length on this one is a one, and that really describes what you’re getting here. This is a just a few clicks for no reason other than clicking.
I guess this could be expanded by making each of the items that you do actually significant. You could include entire pages of information about the different things you do, how you do them, how well you do them, how you feel while doing them, and so on.

I actually kind of liked this, but it should be in the puzzle section. I replayed several times to try and get to 10 activities. Alas, it did not happen.
I wish there was more description and perhaps better writing. This was more of a quiz than a story though, so I let that fly. Some of the activities were very random, and they could definitely be replaced with other activities. I think something that'll help is improving upon the list of activities as well as making the time values of those activities more realistic. I think running took three hours. What normal teenager does that? Perhaps there could be an hours and minutes variable as well.
What I do like is that planning must've gone into this to make things work out, but I feel like there's only one way to achieve 10 activities. Wish there were more variety than that. A more customizable win, if you will. That probably made no sense. But that's beside the point.
I first rated this a 2 until I saw the comments (esp the one by Seto, so I knew that 10 activities was possible). Then, I had to figure it out. Of course, I never did. I will keep trying later, perhaps. Fun thinking game though. Not really school-based.

Alright, let's see here...
First of all, there is almost no plot. Basically, it just says "hey, you're gonna skip school, so choose from these random activities to try to get the variables to work for you!"
A lot of the "choices," were highly illogical, and I felt like some of the activites would have wasted less time then they did.
There's no branching, the ending is always the same. The only difference ia the variables won't always be the same, but other then that, there is no story, just an incredibly short, linear game.
I also found myself to be rather bored while playing this. There's not enough detail or quality writing to really motivate me to keep reading.
There is no character development, not even for the main character.
Like I said before, the plot and setting are almost nonexistant, and it felt like this was just a simple variable test. There's no story, no branching, almost no plot and setting, no detail, no development, and in my opinion, that makes for a very bad piece of writing.
1/8.

Yes! I figured it out!
Don't try to do everything. It's a waste of 'time'. Very short, and it could have more detail. Some things you can do take more time then they should- like the activity 'look at sky'. That took two HOURS!? Why? And running at the park. Shouldn't that be one hour? Still a good game, though.
This is more a puzzle than a school based game, as you don't actually go to school. It just get mentioned, so this would fit better in the mystery/puzzle category.
I rated 5/8, cause it was pretty fun.

Didn't get me very involved, but I liked it even though it was more like a puzzle than a game. It wasn't worth my time though, because I could have been doing any of those activities in real life. But still, an OK game.

I didn't really get it to be honest. I figured that there'd be people trying to take you back to school and you'd have to avoid them or something, but it was just a choice of what do you want to do while you skip school, so I don't really get the point in having a score.

Ya, it is pretty hard, and short too. They didn't get enough time. Anyway, I was thinking about making another one, a longer and harder one. One that requires lots and lots of thinking, but you get more time. Hmm, you gave me an idea! I shall add the calling friends during break, at a special time! THANKS!

Haha dam.. 6 attempts and I really thought I was boned on my 6th. If your close to making it, even if it looks like your going to faik, keep going on. I almost gave up on the play through I finally won.
ANyway to review the game:
An unusual concept, but this game was very tactical and requires a lot of fun. It was unusally stimulating and requires a lot of thought to beat it. Kudos, this game is pretty cool. Don't know why it got such a bad score. I guess it is pretty hard.
One nitpick, at one point you should be able to talk to your friends. You could cll them at break or something, and if time is hours, you could talk to them after school

That's why getting 10 activities is a difficult task. I doubt anyone can get it without a walkthrough. But let me tell you this, there are certain activities that will waste a little of time. You have to find out which one. If anyone can get 10,000 score, I will be amaze. For now, this will be the greatest challenge for everyone.
