Hourgame Saturday! 19th of december *WINNER ANNOUNCED* :D

[Bulbapuck]

Why hello there.

It's hourgame Saturday again
Don't know why I'm the host but I am. I will still enter though!

I'm hoping for a lot of entries this time, and I propose that we start having this comp every other week as was bici's intension. This just doesn't hold up.

Now, enjoy some copy/pasted text :

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!

I'm in, and I agree it should be better to have it every 15 days. But when will it start exactly?

[Bulbapuck]

The topic is:

Murder

extra points for including youself or other AGS members.

[NsMn]

Here's my entry: Proofeodo  (I know, the title doesn't fit)

It's a bit rushed (illness... well, got the best of me )

[Bulbapuck]

Alright! 2 entries

I made a game too:
http://shutupload.com/dl/0cc080275058/
But it took more than an hour
Besides, I couldn't enter.

So entries are:

NsMn's Proofeodo
Bici's me go murder(ed)

Voting may begin ...NOW

[FSi++]

Similar concepts, but NsMn's one is executed a little bit better.

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

NsMn's game doesn't really work right.  I actually connected with kate with her back turned about 10 times and it still resulted in being caught (also the characters don't die even if you kill them).  Bicilotti's surprised me because I expected I could cheat it by hiding off the screen and one of the pac men went straight for me ;o.  Therefore I vote for me go murder.

[Bulbapuck]

Sorry for not closing this earlier, but my connection went down...

My vote goes to Bici because I just couldn't kill kate, Otherwise both games were excellent and fun

I assume no more votes are gonna show, so Bicilotti is the winner!

[bicilotti]

Bicilotti is the winner!

I'm also enjoying a lonely Christmas. See you in two weeks, with something a bit special I hope you'll like.
