Design Doc Feedback
Sean Kelly

Submitted as ODT File, no URL.

Simple concept, but that can be a good thing. It's the simple games that are notorious for being very addictive. There are some problems though, as we discussed when you showed me the design ...

First of all, it;s supposed to be an online document (HTML pages) rather than as an ODT file. I would recommend any time you are submitting as a file to use the DOC format rather than ODT or DOCX as this provides the best compatibility and it's a format all your lecturers should be able to open. I know you were having problems posting this online, but there are a few simple solutions that can be used, such as yola.com and webs.com

As you are creating a new version of an old game, you should know something about that game, rather than a vague recollection of it. The original games were Breakout and Arkonoid, which did have storylines. Your "in one sentence" shouldn't leave the reader trying to figure out what this "Block" game is.

Tidy up what you've got, make sure what you've said is correct(ish), and add some pictures ... possibly concept art of what the screen will look like during the game. Oh, and you haven't actually mentioned this is a Scratch game.
