This link is a website that contains a flash game created for “Got Milk?“ This site is listed by eBizMBA as number 1 in their list of the top 10 flash website designs for 2009. I thought the website was designed very well. It was fun and interactive and the images presented were also nicely crafted. I really liked how they made all the components of the game in a 3D style and I think the sound effects throughout the whole game made it even more interesting to play with. I also liked how the dice could be dragged and rolled with a mouse. However some parts of the game was a little confusing and I didn’t understand what should be done to move on to the next part of the game. There seemed to be a sense of mysteriousness when playing because you can’t see what’s ahead and what other little games you’ll come across until you actually go through the entire game. For example, the enter code and asking a question part at the end to me was a surprise. I didn’t expect that to happen at the end.
Overall I thought this website was very well done and it was an interesting experience to go through. The idea of using a flash game to help promote milk and to increase milk consumption was very creative. In addiion, the interactiveness of flash in this case made it more enjoyable to think about milk and made me realize that getting a cup of milk is very easy in real life but can instead become a challenge in a game.
I’ve never seen 3 dimensional flash before. The graphics are very eye catching and made it worth exploring. I also like that it advocates milk and makes me want to grab a glass.
