I liked all of the entries.
Some of my thoughts:

Call me George- The quiz was fun, looking forwards to the rest of the game, hoping for the "Southparkian" vibe you mentioned earlier.

Abduction- Really liked the graphics, and the use of space in the puzzles. Gave me that "Goblins" feel with the no-text responses and jumping between areas in the same room. The puzzles were mostly logical, but I didn't understand the logic behind the people needs.

-Why do the princess need three people to go to the castle?
-Why do this guy needs a medallion, this guy needs a diamond and so on...

[close]

Next To Evil- The interesting backstory, the mysterious cloaked figure, the expressional portraits and the music set a really good atmosphere to the game and immediately had me immersed. The use of the "splitting" mechanism was also nice (and innovative), although it made the puzzles really easy because all the puzzles relied on that ability.

My vote goes to

Oh, well, I had to answer the question.
I wanted a small kind of reference, but well,then I turned it into a complete give-away. Greeks. Pfff.

Well done to all entrants, i think the vote results shouldn't be visible, but well you're the MAGS host. All and all great competition. Congrats to Joel!

Hmm, I was wondering beforehand whether or not to show it. Some people might like to see how close they came, but on the other hand some people might find it demoralising. I suppose if it's very close, I'll reveal the actual vote numbers too.

Congratulations Joel!
And thanks everyone else for support and making me actually finish a game!

[joelphilippage]

Thanks guys. It was a fun game to make and I was happy with the constructive feedback I got. I was happy with how all the games this month had some sort of unique game play. Thanks again Arj0n for the great beta testing. It would have been a stinker without you. I will probably create an updated version soon.

Congrats Joel!

And as for the "to show votes or not to show votes" issue, I'm for showing the votes. I feel that knowing is better than not knowing (even if I received 0 votes).
In fact, it will even give me more motivation to enter the competition.

Perhaps pming them to authors? That sounds better to me. Or to anyone that is interested but only in pm? Or use hide?

I'm being too nitpicky but it somehow strikes odd. Anyhow, up to Atelier anyways.

Yes I also prefer vote counts being made public. It's a lot like the other compos and motivates more people to vote I think
