Review:

Gameplay: 10/10, very enjoyable and fun

Graphics: 10/10, the graphics for a calculator are beautiful. I'm not sure if you're supposed to see the seed you shoot out, but I cannot really see it.

Controls: 10/10, it's simple and easy to use

One of the best things about this game is the graphics. I adore the grayscale that Kevin put in to make the game look nicer. The only way the graphics in this game could be improved is if TI released a "TI-84 Gold Edition" with a color screen (hint, hint). That would MAKE this game.

A feature that I would like to see added is a 2-player VS link mode. Maybe two players could be linked and perhaps compete for the highest score. Players could also attack each other by either using the flashing veggie or a whole new veggie, perhaps sending the opponent into Panic mode for a few seconds, or preventing your opponent's seeds from penetrating vegetables.

gameplay 9/10 (can't see where i am aiming)

graphics 100/10 (GREYSCALE!!!)

Controls 10/10 (nothing else can be added)

This is a great example of a well-crafted program

Like the author writes, there are not any notable flickers in the grey scale, nor does it lag at all.

The controls are simple and fairly easy to grasp, and the title/high score functions work flawlessly.

My only suggestion for change is making the bullet/seed more visible because right now, it is only a faint blur

This is a very nice little game. You are a little bird, trying to spit on fruits falling down. Now, this might sound a bit odd but it's actually funny to control the hopping bird and spit on fruit. When one of the fruits hits the ground, the tile it landed on will disappear. Different fruits give different scored and if you hit a specific kind of fruits, new tiles will fill the gaps.

The game seems to have 1-level grayscale sprites which is perfect for this game. Although several levels of GS might have been a possibility, it would make the faster moving sprites blurry.

Gameplay (9/10) a jump button would have been nice, but then again the gameplay would change.

Button-placing (10/10) 'D-pad' is moving, 2nd is spitting.

Graphics (9/10) 1-level GS and it looks fantastic.

+ Quick fun, addicting

Although I never played the original version, the screenshot looked great and I downloaded right away. After watching the youtube video that readme directed to, I was ready to play. The title screen was cool, and the greyscale was very nice.

Upon playing, I found it pretty fun, very true to the original game (that I watched on youtube). I was really enjoying for first 1~2 minutes until it froze (btw, I was using MirageOS, under TI84+SE v.2.43). I had to pull my battery and the calculator went through the usual ram clear. I tried it again, but it froze again and again.

Very, VERY good job on this. I never imagined Pyoro for the Ti-83/83, but you've done it.

Sprites, use of greyscale, responsiveness, and control scheme effectiveness are all excellent. Some people may think that the stutter when you shoot your seed is a memory glitch, but it is in the original game and is intended.

The only thing I can think of that is bad as it is right now, is a point counter. As this could affect the gameplay slightly, blocking certain seeds from being seen early, maybe just a 2 second message in the corner of the screen saying "High Score!" when you score exceeds the current high score.

As for future additions, as you say in the readme, the original Pyoro (with the tongue) would be great, as well as background changes. A inverted color scheme for a night cycle would be great too, and could be used to double each background into two phases.

Graphics: 5

Controls: 5

Replayability: 4 (Only 1 mode)

Nostalgia: 5

Overall: 19/20
