Rating myself:
\n Overall: 4 stars:
\n Innovation: 3.5 stars: Most of the gameplay elements ‘just work’, but it’s not the most original I’ve seen.
\n Fun: 4.5 stars: There’s something about the freedom the game gives I really like. Of course, I’m biased.
\n Theme: 4 stars: While not the most original take on the theme, they are definitely ‘tiny worlds’.
\n Graphics: 3.5 stars: The trees are nice, the sprites are OK. More life would’ve been nice
\n Audio: 2.5 stars: Not all bad, but nothing exceptional
\n Humor: N\/A: I don’t think I have any humor
\n Mood: 3 stars: It’s not mood-less, but it’s nothing special either.<\/p>\n

(I’ve made this post with 17 days to go for rating, and I’m going to compare it with the averages I’m actually going to get)<\/p>\n

#121\tOverall: 3.56: half a star lower than I anticipated, but beating the average.
\n #153\tInnovation: 3.53: Right on the mark
\n #169\tTheme: 3.53: Half a star lower than I anticipated. Come on guys, they WERE small planets \ud83d\ude1b
\n #262\tFun: 3.12: Massively lower than I anticipated. I guess it became boring more quickly than I anticipated.
\n #305\tMood: 2.91: Right on the mark.
\n #450\tAudio: 2.44: Right on the mark
\n #531\tHumor: 2.05: Well, to be expected rly.
\n #677\tGraphics: 2.41: a star lower. Perhaps I should’ve focussed more on the trees or the more unique features.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s it! I’d like to thank all the voters, and I know I shouldn’t be disappointed: 121st of over 1000 entries is very good for a first entry. And of course congratulations to all the winners!<\/p>","time":"May 14th, 2012 1:09 am","title":"Rating Myself"}
