Hello, they are the winners?
:) :D
Congratulations to Tiny Pixel Wars, Redshirt Fodder, PuzzPair and SacredLands!!!!!!
^-^
They should be quite excellent games!!!
Some very worthy winners.
They're good games, very good games.
WOW :o Well thank you all who voted for me! Didn't expect that :o
I've managed to upload an updated mobile version of PuzzPair yesterday:
On Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.holzchopf.puzzpair)
No bug fixes, only enhancements (hence the delayed release):
- It's now easier to hit falling stones
- Colours in HUD changed a bit
- There's now a help page accessible from the main menu when tapping the icon that nervously tries to get your attention
</advertising>
Now for part even uglier than my advertising above: :'( What happened to the votes for Triss? I gave up my hope to land in the ranks when I saw a third vote placing him 1st and I think someone also put him 2nd - which would make, according to your formula, at least 350 points :-X Sorry for questioning your compo-leading authority (and also sorry for destroying my price winning ranking) :-\
This was a hugely enjoyable outing. Both watching the development of the games and the end results.
Everyone who entered did a superb job. And thanks to all who took the time to play, comment and vote :D
For myself: Thank-you all who voted for SacredLands. I learned loads and had fun on the journey. I am still open to any and all suggestions for improvement, etc...
I shall possibly do some form of post mortem. let me know bit you want to know more about?

@ winners (or maybe "new" winners) - and all other "competitors"
Surely Good job. As said not tested but nonetheless: good job, and congratulations for all participants for finishing something
It is interesting that nearly all votes for "complete/original" go to iWasAdam's game ... it just seems to lack hmm "easyness of playing". Maybe in next compo Adam should try some easier game controls (like with "SyntaxBomb" - which was nearly not needing any explanation on "how to play"). As "appearance" of the game seems to be satisfiying for most of us - it is just the game mechanics and/or controls needing some more work.

Ron
Congrats to all the winners, and indeed everybody that produced a game for the SB Comp.
I briefly got time to play them, and they all seemed to be of a very high standard. I'll play them more when I get time.

Thanks for your honesty! 8)
I must admit I was a bit confused when I saw the result late last night, early this morning. I had a few too many sherbets last night watching the England game, so I thought it was a kind of drunken dream ??? Also with it being my 1st entry I wasn't too sure how the voting was worked out.
I have to say I was impressed by all entries and the diversity of games from the 3 game styles.
If the prize tier gets changed or not I feel pleased that my entry got some votes.
I still have some more plans to "enhance" Triss, I have added a drag the coloured squares feature most have requested, I am also tweaking the game speed and will upload a new version once I have tested it all. I will keep you all posted.
Already looking forward to the next competition ;D

Here's a new png with no placement - for when there are winners who don't conform to 1/2/3 places...
an interesting breakdown of the languages used by the winners (in no order):

Hi, I am in confusion. Is there a mistake in the results of the contest?

Hi, three winners used Monkey2 or Monkey2 variance to program their entries.
This phenomenon shows that Monkey2 family is a powerful language family in game programming.
Congrats to the Winners! Loved these comps and thanks for voting for my little game :D
Regarding the results, I totaled up the results and had the same as Qube before he posted... maybe Qube and myself cant add up :D

The same as Qube before he posted..? How do you mean that? I'm not near 300 points ::)
@ therevills:
Your sheet says:
800 - Tiny Pixel Wars
350 - Redshirt Fodder
175 - Puzz Pair
350 - Triss
125 - Bug Hunter
100 - Sacred Lands
100 - A Knights War
275 - Tower Swap
Leading to:
1. Tiny Pixel Wars
2. Redshirt Fodder & Triss (with Triss getting 3 1st-votes and Redshirt Fodder 1 1st-vote)
4. Tower Swap
5. Puzz Pair
6. Bug Hunter
7. Sacred Lands & A Knights War
Qube has this:

See the difference on rank 3?
@ same score for rank 2
There are multiple options:
- votes for rank 1 are weighted heavier than rank 2 ... and so on (so Triss would win here)
- amount of votes weights heavier ("at least people enjoy it") (so Redshirt Fodder would win here)
- sum up the price pot for the "covered ranks" (here 2 and 3) and divide by the amount of covered ranks (so 150+100=250, both would get 125 bucks)
think 3rd one is the best option.
bye
Ron
I remember what I did... I had the scores as:
1st: 30 points
2nd: 20 points
3rd: 10 points

That's how it was done in the past.
Damn, Qube will be devastated when he sees what's going on here :D Or his

was to hide whatever.
But I guess we'll have to wait until he's back and after that hopefully will set things straight.
HURRAY!!! This is so cool!!! Thank you so much!!
Seems like there are still some disagreements with the placement of the winners. Nevertheless it was a great competition with some really great games. Until the end I didn't even know if I could finish my project at all. Congrats to all competitors!
I am super happy and most important: I found a super cool and friendly community!
@Matty: I think you should have a look at Cerberus X (especially the Html5 target) :)
Ah shit! this is what happens when you're bogged down with work and in a hurry, sorry :( ... 25 x 5 = 250 was the wonderful math I did last night :o
Apologies to those effected by this. I'll get the correct post done now.
