Flash game interfaces

I have done some research on flash games recently for my interfaces. The first game I have been playing is Super Smash Flash 2. This is a simple beat em up game with the use of keyboard buttons, the aim is to inflict damage and knock off your opponent, the more damage inflicted, the more your opponent flies. It is a simple two attack buttons, one shield button and one grab button. There is also a jump button too. The game is great on graphics, the only thing that needs improving is sorting out the multiplayer. When your friend is charging a move, you have to hold down the key which stops the other player from doing much.

The other game I have been playing is a game on Miniclip called 8 Ball Pool. This is a simple pool game with online competetive gameplay. It is just click for aim, how far you move the mouse back is how powerful your shot will be. You need to pot all of your type of balls (either spots or stripes) and then pot the black, if you pot the black before then you lose, it is just a simple game of pool... but online!

Research

First of all, we have planned to make a lake design for our interactive interface, which I have done some research into, after that we have researched some castles as we changed our mind. Here are some images of my research.

After that I have done some cloud research, here is what I have done.

We have decided to do a tree that will change with the seasons, by researching clouds in seasons, they only get darker the colder the season. Then we are going to add a grassy background. We are going to use an oak tree too. This is my image for the seasons.
