Hey thanks Kyle. I'm finding that people either love it, or think it's stupid, hence I can't seem to break from 3.10. I doubt they'd get badges for such a low rated game.

Is the score a reasonable one? ie, not over 100? cos if so, there's no prob there being a score registered, cos no doubt it wouldn't be that good. I'll check out level three again...I might have to shuffle it a few more times.

I'm glad you agree with me Falconerd, cos I was beginning to doubt the structure. It's a pretty elementary game, but I think it achieves what it sets out to. You're the first to comment on the poses...there was alot of me standing in front of the mirror trying to convey different emotions through my body and then trying to pose the model realistically...harder than you think, so thanks. And yeah....I think every anatomy student has tried the wise crack "tensor fasciae cafe latae" at least once! lol

oh oh, yay I found a bug! On level three if you go trigger happy (awesome feature there by the way) it records the score instead of leaving it blank.

ok, I can see the "getting to the action" concept. That does make sense. And the new randomness of the list actually helps me because it takes away the distraction of remembering the order. Oh and thanks for the mute button, I feel that is a requirement for every flash game. =)
Oh, and I love the way the body poses at the end of each section, that's awesomely amusing. =) Side note: I've always wanted to walk into starbucks and order a "Tensor Fasciae Latae" =P

Thanks for the feedback Falconerd. I've acted on one of them and disagree with the other. I've tweeked the list generation so that it is much more random. I disagree with the few people who have made suggestions along the lines of making the scanning stages unlimited timed and not part of the total score. I've had previous versions of the game tested with my students for many years and they NEVER bother about the "tutorial/non-competitive" sections. They just want to get straight into the action. Hence the scan level is designed to be easy...it's right there, you just have to hunt and click. I've enjoyed the feedback, it's helped me heaps...unless you've said something meaningless like JMAN!

I really enjoyed this game and I wish I had this last semester when my A & P class was studying muscles. Couple of comments though. In the "learning" scan stages, there shouldn't be a time limit and it shouldn't be added into the total. Those are for learning where things are so they shouldn't be tested at the same time. I actually did better on the poke sections because I could see all the muscles at the same time instead of only in the circle. And while having the static list instead of random list assists memorization, it only helps memorize the list, but doesn't encourage association of the list with the muscles themselves. I think a random list would be better.

It was actually a frustrating glitch that was making what should've been a perfectly random list every time only partially random. I actually ended up leaving it like that to assist the memorization. As a teacher with 10 years experience, you (Draco18s) aren't telling me anything I don't already know. This game is just a memory tool and I believe it does it's job as good as I can design it. Games to come will be absolutely awesome, watch out in a year or so for Blood Cell Racer!!

D:
It's only truely a good educational game when there's no time limit involved (especially when the objects chosen occur in the same order every time--I had an easier time remembering the order than the name).
A truly educational game has trial and error to it. Example: Operation Weather Disaster. I used to know, though not right now, the various freezing temperatures for the various kinds of snow crystals. Why? Because I had to slide the shapes around to the right spots to unlock a door.

Kongregate needs more games like this! Please, keep the educational games coming, it makes me feel better about wasting my time here :)

Cool game, but really difficult on the "poke" stages, maybe give more time & don't change the colors as fast? By Level 3 I was basically just memorizing the patterns the muscles were presented not the muscles themselves.
Although I have no medical training, I'm think if I did this would be easy.

Took anatomy last year (2nd year med student), kinda rusty on my anatomy. Think the scanning needs to be slower. Kept running out of time.

I'm a medical student, now this game isn't very usefull anymore but for new students that still need to learn everything i think it's great (for the students who still need to learn to study more and play less).
I don't think people should get more time, because it should be knowledge that is basic stuff without thinking.
If you make more of this games with the functions or nerve and arteries would be great. I rate this game 5/5. It's the first i find related to medical studies (when i was younger i searched long time for this kind of educational games and never found anything)

Good game if your an anatomy student, anyone else though and its not really interesting enough to make me want to play more. Well made, but the music is really annoying. Gameplay of it just being a find and click kinda lets it down. 3/5.

I think this is the only game on Kong Ive learned something from.. Oh, other than you have to burn the rope on.. eh nvm

Awesome learning tool. I love the variety of views (particularly the pose on the third level) which teach you to think about the way muscle wraps around the body. Not just for the medical students! As an artist, I find tools like this incredibly helpful.

Well... Ok for school if some kids needs to have a little fun while learning. Bad if you have a incredible need to play some shooting games and instead this strange game
