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 ### 4/5 — I found a glitch *2014-08-31* If u press the a button then press on the game system screen next to the a button the app will think you pressed A ### 3/5 — Not what I thought *2013-06-24* I got this app because I thought that I was actually going to make a small game inside this app but all it really does is offer you books a big let down for me. But if you actually want this to be your career then it might be ok. ### 2/5 — It's a Quiz *2013-06-19* This is a quiz, all it does is ask you a bunch of questions and then tells you if you will or won't be a game designer. If you really want to be, then go for it. Don't take advice from a pointless app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP *2016-10-08* This game is basically a quiz it makes you think you're going to design a game but guess what it doesn't if I wanted to take a quiz I could just go to school😷😷😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — LAME *2015-03-14* This is the most point less app ever to not know all that stuff and you want to be a game maker you should just give up 👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Bad bad *2014-01-06* Don't get this it takes up a waste of your space and it is bad bad bad ### 1/5 — Stupid, Worthless, and a piece of Crap. *2013-12-31* 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!!!!!! ### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP *2013-07-08* This app makes you think you create a game with it. Well guess what YOU DON'T CREATE GAMES WITH THIS NEVER INSTALL IT ### 1/5 — Boo *2013-07-04* Just take a test and then u buy a book no sence. ### 1/5 — Sinnfrei?! *2013-04-23* Das Spiel ergibt absolut keinen Sinn um leitet dich nur in irgendwelche online- stores weiter... ### 1/5 — Why Facebook *2013-02-03* Why do we have to have Facebook!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Of *2012-06-20* H ### 2/5 — 50 50 *2017-05-10* I thought this game was going to let u make ur own video games so plz make like a minigame to make it more fun ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-11-20* Nothing could be better ### 5/5 — Very good *2016-11-01* Made me give up working with games within 5 minutes ### 5/5 — Great survey *2016-06-28* I learned quite a few things while taking this. ### 5/5 — Read the description! *2015-07-22* This was a very helpful quiz and I'm going to keep it for a long time! ### 5/5 — Love Love Looove!! *2014-04-24* I'm 14 years old and I have a really big passion for programming and game developing! I've created VERY simple 2D games (a shooter) and I'm learning to use objective C language at the moment. Although I find it difficult to master, I'm using xCode on Mac and working on a simple iPhone quiz Sorry for my whole life story ;p but I loved this app because it gave me different backgrounds of different companies and professions. You've encouraged me to keep going with what I'm doing and thank you! ### 5/5 — Interesting *2013-11-21* Realy interesting and helpful for those of us who dream about a job in the Games-industry but don't have any knowledge about it. ### 5/5 — It is what it says it is! *2013-09-21* 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! :) ### 5/5 — Works well to inform *2013-07-18* I was curious about what you need to do to pursue my dream of joining the gaming industry, this worked great. It was everything you'd expect from a WORD BASED QUIZ "game". ### 5/5 — Great little app *2012-08-04* A great little app. 5 stars ### 4/5 — Realy Nice Quiz, Nothing Major. *2015-10-13* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
