Arts and crafts featuring scarecrows can really brighten up a classroom, and most can be done quite economically. Most scarecrow activities do not require any special supplies or materials at all and can be completed with items you probably already have in your classroom or home. Thanks for sharing.

(IMHO) :) The buttons can stay the same, but the hitboxes need to go further up the screen. IMHO a tilt-controls option would be nice too. Other than that, it's very good. Though I saw just about every notable game on the c64, I somehow missed Space Taxi. For me, this is a dead ringer for Air Taxi, the shareware Amiga game. The speech sounds similar too. I like the destinations just being numbers ..that's how it was on the 8/16 bit versions too. Yeah, I've gotta agree that the controls aren't right.

The controls are a bit twitchy, primarily being the thrust seems to need a bit of tuning. Also, it's kind of annoying to come down on a pad just a bit "too hard" and blow up. Honestly, I'd rather leave the challenge to time and not crashing into something sideways vs. crashing from landing too hard. I'd suggest the developer deduct points for hard landings instead of crashing me. Very nice graphically and the sounds are adequate and almost funny. It's definitely Space Taxi. I'd say it's good, given it's 99 cents, but if you're down to your last 99 cents, I dunno. I found it far more playable than Blimp! Oh one other thing; why are the menus portrait and the game landscape?!? Weird. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 stars. (I give Blimp 2 stars and Dark Nebula 4 stars, if that helps you to understand).

The main problem here is that your cab explodes like it's made of nitro glycerine if you so much as rub a vertical wall. Also the landing gear in its current incarnation Is pointless, and the controls are too linear. Why isn't this a tilt to move game? I was also disappointed by the lack of story. Why go to the trouble of making a taxi universe only to have people saying, "take me to 1,2,3" etc instead of a building or area name. It would give some much needed depth. This game seems half baked as-is. I thought this sounded like a press release too.
