Close call, That's what I get for being a speedy dev. 

Added in

Standard looks pretty great again, guys. Well done everyone who got a game over the line and submitted. Good work, we all know it's hard to finish a game and be happy with it.

Wow, another brilliant 'array' of games, looking forward to trying them all before Thursday 

Took me a while to make a decision and I've based my votes on the game itself and disregarded any issues I pointed out on a couple of games. If I'd played them during bug test week then I could have given them a chance to be fixed, so it's unfair for me to use that in judging.

Thursday evening is the end of voting, which is tomorrow night. Hope the majority of the votes are coming in by then, or it's going to look a little spartan.

I will echo Xerra in hoping more members are going to play and vote

Just read your comments in PM, Xerra. I can't reproduce that bug with a player getting stuck. Does it happen every time for you? Regarding multiplayer I am redoing the game in Unity and will be making it a much more complete product. Along with improved graphics and animation I aim to also have an online multiplayer option. This will be my pet project and without any time constraints which make you skip corners and write some really sketchy looking code

@Xerra, found the bug. It happens from round 11 onwards. Luckily is a simple one line fix. I guess you must have been the only one to get that far

Another great comp! Well done all!

Good Luck everyone. A few really good games this time around.
