Sometimes we see a big discussion during the voting period - this time there's nothing at all...
But okay: Time for voting is over now and we have a winner...

Congratulations go to BaRoN with his game Studio Mediocre. He made it on top this month!
Also many thanks to Twin Moon for joining the contest! Two cool games for a demanding topic.

Well congratulations BaRoN. Yours was indeed the better game.
Hope to see some nice rules for this month, I'll be entering again.

Many thanks Twin Moon.
I thought your game was more creatively courageous than mine: the concept definitely has potential.  I guess all those MAGS voters are conservative in their game outlooks, however.  One question:  I never did find a different ending to your game, though I played it through four times.  Is there an alternate ending, or just different ways of arriving at the same conclusion?

Thanks. I had a lot of fun making it; but in hindsight it's not really a lot of fun to play.

One question:  I never did find a different ending to your game, though I played it through four times.  Is there an alternate ending, or just different ways of arriving at the same conclusion?

Hermes always arrives at the end, so there's three ways to the same goal.

(There are three animated scenes:
1. the argument between the wizard and the elf where the demon gets hurt.
2. the enema scene
3. the 'fight' between the demon and the elf.
If you've seen all three, you've basically done all there is to do.)
