No idea who this is directed to. So I guess I'll just get to it.
I would like to ask what is the standard of merits. So far all I have gotten from the stickies is...not much.
I hate to say it but I kind of felt like it just explained (What I would think of) as a regular comment. The sticky thread mentions what a merit is but doesn't go to in depth.
Example of a "Technically" merit comment
Example:
This game is fairly enjoyable. It has many aspects that I find fun and is definitely a game I would recommend.
One of the aspects that could be improved is the shop screen, I find the art not very interesting and if you could add possibly more entertaining art. Ideas such as a shop keeper, pictures for items and such could all be included.
One of the aspects I enjoyed in the game was the controls. I found they were very easy to get used to and it didn't have a steep learning curve, if there is a sequel to this game I would reccomend not messing with the controls. The shooting works perfectly and I am able to jump around platforms at ease.
The last aspect I loved about the game is the story line within. I a found a deep (But strange) connection with my cut little character and almost felt sad by the ending.
Overall this is a great game and I enjoyed it a lot.

That is an example of a comment I could which ticks all the boxes of a merit. However that's just a regular comment. Assuming I was not trying to get the merit I might have written.
Example:
Didn't like the shop screen. Add some pictures of the items and maybe a picture of a shopkeeper. This would add a lot to the game.
Also loved the controls, worked well with the platform genre. Keep them the same for the sequel.
Another thing, I LOVED THE STORY. Really interesting. ZOMBIES GO PEW PEW WHILE SHOOTING MY RAZOR LAZOR IS KOOL.
9/10

Which also kind of ticks the same boxes. (Apart from the "ew pew" part)
Anyways, (I should probably stop complaining) what I really want is an example of a merit comment.
Also, after reading over I kind of sound harsh. I just want to say that I am still glad that
1. They explained a merit
and
2. They have a merit as a reward (I think it's awesome)
