One Button Game - For a Good Cause

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

I'll post here because it's more to do with the theory than the actual game.

I'd just like to say congrats. I was very skeptical about the whole thing - I didn't think it would be possible to implement what you were suggesting and still make it playable. I thought that it would be too boring to just wait for the proper action to be highlit, especially if there were many hotspots and many actions. However, your game, which is wisely a simple one in terms of hotspots and actions, pulled it off admirably. So - congrats.

I also made an adventure game for the competition... Although mine is more of an engine since I did one puzzle and then ran out of ideas for the rest, and the deadline was approaching oh-so fast. Well, it's still pretty good. Graphically nice and all that. It's called WEEM and you can get it from the link below...

Comments would be appreciated, mainly about the interface.

Hi all.

Just in case anyone is interested, the competition has now been judged and my Invincible Island entry came 4th. It's a shame the game is not complete with instructions, intros etc. or it may have done better.

It was one of only two adventure games submitted the other being Surges's entry which the judges could not download and therefore judge.

Once again thanks everone for the bouncing of ideas.

I'm curious, could you link us to the games which entered the comp and tell us which won 1st place?

Ist place was a Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy clone.

Anyhow, here is a link to the top 40.
