It's Hourgame Saturday again!

The purpose of Hourgame Saturday is, to encourage the amateur game-making, or to put it bluntly, to make you tear your ass off your chair and finally make something.
In this activity your task is to make an AGS game within a strict and a very short deadline (i.e. one hour).

Timeline:
The event takes place every (surely hope so) Saturday, starting at 7:00 pm GMT, when the theme is revealed on the IRC and in this thread. The participants then have one hour to make their entries and 15 more minutes for uploading. In brief: the deadline for entries is 8:15 pm.
Then the voting takes place till the Monday Morning.

Basic rules:
- Participants can join IRC for rules and updates (how do I join IRC?), but every information will be posted here too, so it's your choice.
- The theme is set by the previous week's winner and by the contest's host in event of his/her absence.
- While it is not forbidden for the theme-setters to participate in the activity, their games cannot be voted for (to prevent accusations of cheating and to discourage regular participation).
- Instead, theme-setters are encouraged to draw trophies for the contest's winners.
- Making your game from scratch is strongly encouraged, though it is not forbidden to use music or artwork from public sources if you are allowed to (e.g. using public domain music tracks in your game is OK, but not really necessary). It is also possible to use a pre-existent AGS template for your game (e.g. that Verb-Coin GUI template).
- You cannot use the stuff you've made earlier, because this competition is about making something new.

Uploading:
Suggested hosts to upload your entry to are:
- http://shutupload.com/
- http://www.mediafire.com/
- http://www.sendspace.com/
- http://www.rapidshare.com/
- Or your own place.

Voting:
Just tell us your favourite game (and possibly a couple of less favourite ones), and hopefully someone will do the counting.

Important: please post here if you'd like to join but the timeline is not ok for you! Slight changes are always possible!

Thsis time I don't think I'll be able to participate (birthday party). Good luck to all the entrants!

NsMn

Err... it's 6:30 pm already, so, where's our host?

FSi++

Here I am! Rock you like a hurricane!

The theme is TRAVEL, by the way.

NsMn

NsMn: a pretty hilarious game, with good graphics, a wisely chosen tchaikovsky's for soundtrack and whacky characters (hint, if you haven't played NsMn's previous hourgamegame do it know, or you'll miss the cameo in this one). Lacking are gameplay and challenging puzzles.

Bulbapuck: a really nice production! Location-wise is really a remarkable effort for an hourgame. The "obstacles" where all fun and the NPC had good dialogue lines.

My vote goes to Bulbapuck! Few entries but quality entries, yay for hourgames!

NsMn

I vote for NsMn. I really like the puns on the other hourgames.

FSi++

Ooh, there seems to be a tie.

So Bulbapuck wins. Because I said so.

*YAY* :D
Thanks guys! I know for a fact that I will actually be able to host next week, so I'll think of something awesome :) Hope to see everyone reading this then!

I might even try to enter, as I think I've bot Saturday free this week...
