This is supposed to be a little kids math adventure game, but right now it looks like crap. Press space to open stuff up. Hit the yellow thing to submit an answer. The idea here was somewhat spacey, but again with a child in mind. Tks in advance.

I think it's a GeoCities thing, try uploading it somewhere else so we can take a look.

Why don't you publish it with an html. I tried backing into your Brinster account and getting to it that way, but without it being tied to an html, you make it really difficult. Your text shrinks down to nothing, and I am getting older and can't read the small print.

It's coming through now, but I can't offer much as input for changes. Looks like a pong game to me.

pong?!? It's really not supposed to look like pong, it's supposed to look like the inside of a futuristic fortress, but not too scary, as this is a childrens game. What can I do instead of just plain blocks, what could I maybe do for a background? I kinda had a picture fade in and out of my mind, but as the artistic part of Flash isn't my strong suit, I can't really put it down on screen.
