I just wanted to get some initial input on the mini-game that I am working on for the Host Holic.

Basically, you are a teacher trying to manage the behavior of your students and maximize the English that they are learning. Your pay and bonus will be determined by whether or not your students learn, win competitions, and most importantly RETURN to your class!

The basics are here in this youtube video:

More information can be found on our site:

Basically, I want to know whether you like the UI (in progress), what you think about the music, and whether you think this is fun or how we could make it fun.

Watched the video and I loved it XD
This looks like it could be quite an interesting game.

Thanks for your support. I'm also working on a 2D fighter arcade mini-game, so I'll try to post the video for that soon. It's more of a variation on a paper, scissors, stone game, so people don't have to be good at fighting games to play it.

LOL! At the end of the video, one of the student's slapped the teachers bottom!

I like the music, but if this is for a daily activity, I would prefer something more neutral.

The interface looks nice. Maybe the pictures of the students could indicate what's going on. For example, if a student falls asleep his pictures is still, if they are making trouble, his pic shakes more.

Good points. Eventually, the students will have emotion marks and will be able to "run around" the class and stuff. I will try to randomize the music so people won't get sick of the same track.

Thanks!
