Haha. It's a good idea and I like the game a lot, but I have to ask you this: What does scrambling the cards add to your game vs what does it remove?
Think about it - if the board was the same every time (by maybe with more cards on it), then the player could experiment with the story generator, with only three or so cards moved around for every new go.
Where as now, there doesn't need to be a story generator, you could just make a story that fits the couple of images no matter their order because you can't really compare whether or not it would have changed.
But then, if you did the aforementioned thing, it would beg the question of why this is a memory game at all. I don't know. I like it a lot as is, I don't mean to get you down at all, but there is something ... something that you could tweak slightly that would make the whole thing brilliant. I don't know what though. D:
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Very cool idea - it was fun to see what the game said. I think you could emphasize the memory aspect a bit more - maybe the number of turns influences whether the story has a good or bad ending? I only had two complaints: the connection to the theme is pretty weak and sometimes the game did not recognize my clicks. Overall, great game.
Really inventive use of theme, and well-executed too. I did find that the story moved a bit slowly, though, because the game mechanic eventually became a touch too monotonous. But I too would like to see the theme developed further.
Iteresting idea. The story part definitely keeps me hooked to the game, althrough I am not exactly sure how is it generated. Does is use only a part of the pictures? I would like to know how I actually contribute to the story.
The story generator is neat, but it'd be more fun if I could tell how it was generating them. Is it what cards I have in the first few slots or is it when certain cards appear in pairs, or is it just based all the cards that appeared at which point what did matching them do? Maybe a glow effect on the individual cards that caused the story so that the player can see how to go about getting a new story each time. A counter of how many of the possible stories you have unlocked out of the total would be cool too, to give the player a kind of goal to reach.
Not really sure how the theme applies here. Aside from simple card matching, I'm not seeing much else? A bit too much disconnect from my actions to the consequences for me.
