AntLion
Art
- No distinctive artwork present to judge this. If they are going to use the ants in the first presentation, maybe it could use more work

- Game play should be fairly well balanced
- This game consist of just mouse clicks: what’s the attraction feature? (Looks? Great strategy? You would need one, otherwise it’d be very boring)
Model they used
- Cool clay ant

Originality
- Not very original, similar to colony games
How well the prototype resembles the game

- But is it too easy? Older targets could get bored easiliy
Model they used
- Nicely hand-drawn characters
Mechanics
- Simple, familiar game play

- How much re-play value does this game have?

Originality
How well the prototype resembles the game
- The prototype successfully captures the general look of the game. However, the players cannot grasp the exact game play of the real game just by playing the prototype.

Art
- No distinctive artwork present to judge this at the moment
Balance

Mechanics
- too many things going on (nice to have varied elements, only when it’s done right)
Originality
- Original
