Peer Grade:

  • The games are unique, and I like that they are all very binary oriented, however, while I think the Puzzle game is great, the other 2 could have more SASS integrated into them. The memory 1 could have more SASS but also a point system where each pair you get correct is 1 point and each wrong is -1 points. The painter game could add image templates as well. Overall, it is an incredible start, just needs a little more detail and finishing touches. .96/1.0
