    It's a neat little quiz, it's the basics of how to get started as a dev. It's nothing more and nothing less than promised and the bad reviews are either annoyed that they didn't read what it's supposed to be about or that it's the basics, which it never claimed otherwise.

  • Read the description!

    There is a quiz, which is largely pointless, so go ahead to the other materials. What are the materials? Links to books on Amazon about different game design topics. If you want book recs, it's a good resource, but other than that it doesn't offer much else

  • LAME

    First of all, I hit "kind of" for "are you good at math", and it took me back to the screen asking me what I wanted to do. I tried it again, AND IT GAVE ME THE SAME ANSWER. I have to be honest, right? How was I supposed to finish the quiz if I hit the answer that was honest! Do not even think about getting this app!!!!!!

  • It is what it says it is!

    It's like you told a friend who's in the game business that you wanted to make games and asked him what did you need to do and learn to be a game designer/programmer/producer. A real dream crusher! :)
