I've been working on Game Design Documents for a while but I need the opinions of others to improve. Can anyone critique the game design document I've attached and give me feedback on it?
About the game in the document:
The game is a casual game where the player would use their mouse to cause a falling sphere to explode into fireworks for points.
Request: Critique a Game Design Document
No offence, but what you have there is not even a design treatment, let alone a GDD. I've seen longer one-pagers, for God's sake! ![:rolleyes:](http://public.gamedev.net/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif)
First of all, add your name and the document's version on the cover. Next, if you have a table of contents with numbered pages, put the numbers on the pages, too. It may be a PDF for now, but when it's printed, people don't count the pages to see which is the current one.
Don't just add a sentence to each, um, category. A game designer's job is to write. So you do that. Add as many details as possible: all of them, that is. You see, a GDD is not necessarily a technical document. It describes everything the gamer will see and do in the game, in a manner that allows everyone to understand it.
I'd say more, but I'm running late. Good luck!

You don't get to 12.5 billion dollars without conning a few people.
