November MAGS

[Klaus]

Ladies and gentlemen, we're close to November 25th - the deadline.
Please submit your entries within the next 26 hours (see timestamp of this posting).
Then the voting will begin.

[Baron]

Ah.... rats.Ã,  My game is in no state to be released on time.Ã,  I guess you'll see it in a couple days in the completed games forum.Ã,  Congratulations to everybody who can make deadlines!

BaRoN

EDIT NOV 25 - "I made it!!!!!"  See below.

I am also out, I've been swamped with University work, so maybe some other time. I planned it all out, just graphics and coding never even got started.

[Baron]

I hope I'm not too late!!!!!!

It's still November 25 here, and I've been madly working to get this done on time.Ã,  Since I don't see any notice of the contest being closed I'm going to go ahead and post it:

Introducing....



Ã,  It's kind of a mystery so I won't say much.Ã,  Suffice it to say that it meets the criteria by being THE WORLD'S SMALLEST GAME!!!!!

The Paramecium Complex can be downloaded from HERE .

Er, here is the link to the MAGS page:

You're completely right: As long as there's no notice you still can submit.
Actually I hoped for yet another entry but the deadline is gone for a good time now, so let's start the voting:


For voting please visit the MAGS site or make your choice right here:

The Paramecium Complex by BaRoN
MOTLPAA by Radiant

Please vote only once and be sure to have played all games before sending your voice! Good luck to all participants.

[Radiant]

Okay, so what happens next? I haven't joined any MAGSes before, but shouldn't people be voting here like they do for puzzle contests? Or something?

[Ubel]

Check out the links in Klaus' post. People go vote on the MAGS website.

[Klaus]

You can still vote by using either one of the links listed above or by visiting the voting area on the MAGS site.

The voting is different from some other contests here as it is based on an online voting system. So the result and chosen games are hidden from public. It's also open for people who visit the ags forums just as a guest and do not have a login.

[Klaus]

We finally reached the end of the voting period.

So here's the result of this month's competition:
Both entrants collected a number of votes but in the end there's
a clear winner now: BaRoN and his entry The Paramecium Complex.

Congratulations and thanks to both for joining the contest.

[Baron]

Thanks to all who voted for me!
I tip my hat to Radiant: great game.  Mine might have won but I think your game format has a lot of potential if is made into more of an adventure.
As for my game, it was a bit rushed and I think it shows.  I have plans to polish it up a bit when I can spare the time.  Hopefully you'll see it in the completed games forum in a couple of weeks.  Hopefully....
I look forward to seeing LOTS of entries for December: most people get more time off during this month, and there will be a simply irresistable theme....

[Radiant]

Thanks Baron, and congratulations on your paramecia. I rather enjoyed its originality, too

A question about your game BaRoN.

POSSIBLE HINT ALERT

Does squishing any of the...things... other than the one(s) your suppost to squish have any impact on the game?

Thanks.

[Baron]

Er....  Not really but

Spoiler

You obviously can't squish the three musicians or you can't finish the game.  Originally I had intended for the game to end when the population got down to a certain number (through disease or squishing), but since I ran out of time I had to cut the whole disease thing.  So, yes, you really should have a healthy population of cells left to save with your "cure", but no, in the game's current state, I suppose you could kill all but three and still win!  I assure you this still won't be the case when I polish it up!
