The number of entries for competition six astounds me.

Wow, 11 entries! :o Well done to everyone!

Is bugfixing after the deadline allowed? Cause I just realized there's a sound problem in the Android version and I'd like to address that as soon as possible.




Eleven entries, man. That's going to take ages till I played them all...

Yep :) Check rule 10:

Quote10.. There will be a one week gap after the comp ends before voting starts to allow members to play the games and for developers to fix any bugs in their game and re-upload. Once voting commences then no further bug fixes can be submitted until after voting has been completed.

@ bugfixes
Remember to only fix bugs, not introduce "features" (exception: a bug which silenced existing music, disabling an effect, ...). So especially show stopper bugfixes are welcomed.


@ 11
Seems we can create a dev-soccer-team then :-)
But a pity it also seems that we did not fetched the attention of someone "new"/outside of the syntaxbomb-userbase.


bye

Wow 11 entries, now that is aMAZEing.   :o

Well done to all, it looks like a high standard of games have been produced.  I've quickly had a go on all of them and they all seem to work without a problem.

I seem to be getting addicted to the Rockman game so far lol.

If you die it's always your own (my) fault for rushing.  A couple of bugs so far.  You seem to be able to start before the countdown and I managed to get myself in a situation when I was surrounded by rocks and couldn't move.  The game should spot that and end that level.

Neither a bug, my friend. Had me worried for a second.

If you get jammed in then you just need to push F1 to forfeit a life and reset the cave. I could have detected if you were jammed in but didn't think of it at the time.

As for the countdown, that's there for the later levels where you have bad guys and skulls. If you don't like the look of a level then you can push f1 to reset the cave before it hits 0 without losing a life. I set the game so the countdown is cancelled as soon as you hit a key to move.

Apart from that, great to hear you like the game. It's a bit harder than I originally planned but I found i preferred it that way. Glad to find it's not just me.

Let me know when you get through all 20 caves and can tell me the secret after the end sequence :)

after a few tests of your games, my first suggestion to some of you is to keep in mind that not all humans on this planet have an english keyboard ! (related to the WASD controls)
so either map the same controls with the up left down right keys, or allow to define the keys... (some games are unplayable just because of that...)

apart from that, the games run well on my computer (laptop, DualCore AMD E-450 1646 MHz - 6 Go DDR3 1333 SDRAM - AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics  (384 Mo) - Windows 7 Home Premium - DirectX 11.0)
edit :
TankMania is really slow even on "low"
Maze Raider made the graphics crash (error message) and then the graphics window is white
