Video game Journalist 3

    The video game is called 'Must Escape the Wizard's Castle. It's a click and point escape puzzle game. It can be found on Kongregate.com. You must complete 3 tasks in order to leave the castle. The tasks are: rid the castle of spiders, put away missing books, and light all unlit torches. There are a few puzzles to complete. Some of the puzzles are hard and some are easy. The graphics are bit flat, but it makes that up with the creativity and interesting setting. The music is very fitting, but can be a bit distracting and annoying.
    There is a little bit of animation, such as the different colored flames and when you click on certain things. You can click to pick things up or add to your inventory. When you click on the spiders with the wand equipped they poof and a coin appears. After you complete all the tasks the exit appears and you click on the arrow to leave. There doesn't seem to be any glitches that I can detect. I would definitely  recommend this game to others.



Scratch Game

It's a 2 player boat race game. Player 1 is controlled by the mouse and player 2 is controlled by the arrow keys. It is possibly unbeatable, so good luck!

Video Game Journalist 2

      The video game is called Alxemy and can be found on Kongregate.com. You basically combine elements together to create new elements in order to populate your world from the ground up. It's similar to the Doodle God games. There are eight categories to unlock. They are: natural elements, miscellaneous, sea creatures, plants, reptiles/amphibians, birds, mammals, and insects.
    It's a mouse only puzzle game. There's a helper that gives you hints and an handbook that can give you the combinations if you're stuck. There's not much animation. It makes up the lack of animation with the creativity and the colors. So far I haven't found any glitches. I really enjoy this game and I would definitely recommend it.



  • If you hover the mouse over an object it will give you what it had been combined with. 
  • Click to drag element into the transmutation circle
  • The helper will tell you if you try to combine elements that are the final form of it.

Video Game Journalist

      The video game is called Tanooky Tracks. It's played on PC and can be found on the Kongregate website. It's a hidden object game. The story is that Tanookys are playful spirits that love to possess objects that match their personalities and you have to find them.  It's kinda like hide and seek. There's a hint book that gives you clues and what objects will draw them out of hiding. The characters are interesting and entertaining. The riddles are fun and interesting, some easy and some are hard. I had trouble with finding all 10 coins. 
         It's a point and click game and mouse only. The graphics are fine, but a bit flat. It shows a cross section of a three story house that is a bit eclectic. Each level is apparently set up for different purposes. There's a kitchen, a game room, a bedroom, and a pool table room. The sound is annoying and  a bit distracting. There seems to be no glitches that I can detect. Overall the game is fun and interesting.
