Make any flying device (in the broadest possible sense) and/or pilot for a flying device.
You can make
- one sprite of the pilot or
- one sprite of the flying device, or
- one sprite of the flying device and a second sprite of the pilot, or
- one sprite with both pilot and flying device.
Did I mention they should be sprites?
Scores for best flying device and for best pilot separately. Highest combined score wins (counting at most scores for one pilot and one flying device per entry).

That was a good serial :)
My entry is a tribute to one of the greatest aviators of all time.

This picture is NOT an entry, since I'm the host (if that is the correct word) and will be counting the votes :)
(...and No, I'm not green, ... except when I get really really angry!)
A little something to liven up the competition, can't have people winning by default :)

Anyone else joining? There's still a couple of days.
Edit: Added a simple 2-frame animation.

Another very nice entry. :)
Hopefully we will get to see a couple more. Still a few days left.
OMG, is that Clementine 8-0 or just and amazing coincidence laugh) ? (roll)
Great sprites. :)

Oh, I meant to add a link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7fspSdwGS8

If you're referring to my sprite, then I'm guessing it's a coincidence, since I don't have the honor of knowing any bubble-flying Clementine's :)
Edit: Watched the video and that cartoon does seem vaguely familiar actually, probably saw a few episodes couple of decades ago.
I like the bubble concept! Great fantasy ride.
I humbly present Captain Kealoha aboard his mosquito-class pirate vessel, the Princess Ka'iulani's Revenge. Boat is a Lucasian-spacecraft interpretation of the Hokule'a (http://www.hokulea.com/), a resurrected version of a Polynesian voyaging canoe. Complete with tribal symbology. Captain is me channeling Chris Jones' Tex Murphy schtick! (Yes, I'm actually from Hawaii, and of Hawaiian blood)

Once I get this blasted Neofeud done, this is another potential AGS game in the works, methinks.
PRESENTING DA VINCI'S LOST PLANS FOR
HIS BEARD-DRIVEN HELICOPTER

It seems he would wrap his beard around the main driving shaft and then just throw himself into the air in the hope that it would lift off...
SilverSpook & Mandle, thanks for your entries. Interesting ideas.
Still one day to go. Any one else? :)
Time to Vote
We got 4 great entries
1. (http://tgamespics.webs.com/SpriteJam%20Flyer.png)
2. (http://i.imgur.com/dCht6rO.png)
3. (http://i.imgur.com/J2jd5ue.png) (http://i.imgur.com/B8fxOm1.png)
4. (http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c201/Mandle/FlyingMachine005_zpsjnsrc3fq.png)
You got 2 points to give, 1 point for best pilot and 1 point for best flying machine (or you could just give 2 point for the best combination if you prefer that).
Voting ends on the 22th of august.
It is a sprite jam, so only judge the sprites and - where applicable - disregard the backgrounds
So lets vote :)
best pilot: Twesty (number 1)
best flying device: Hobo (number 2)
best flying device: Hobo (number 2)
best pilot: Mandle (number 4)
best flying device: Hobo (number 2)
best pilot: Mandle (number 4)
(yes, I just copy/pasted selmiak's, but I also happen to agree with it ;) )
2 days left for voting
I agree with selmiak and Cassiebsg
best flying device: Hobo (number 2)
best pilot: Mandle (number 4)
Best flying device: SilverSpook (3)
Best pilot: Mandle (4)
Best Pilot: Twesty
Best Flying Machine: SilverSpook
OK, time to count the votes
It comes out this way;
1. 2 votes
2. 4 votes
3. 2 votes
4. 4 votes
A close race and two entries tie on the first place.
The most reasonable way to decide on one winner seems to be for me to use a casting vote between the two entries that have 4 votes each.
Not an easy task, but finally I chose entry number 2.
And so the winner is Hobo.
Congratulations and a "good job" to all the entries.
And those I hand over the Sprite Jam torch to Hobo. :)
Neat! I would have happily shared the first place with Mandle, but I'll take the win :)
Thanks for the fun competition, Grok. And thanks for participating and voting, everyone.
I'll start the next one in a moment.
Also, I kept working on my entry and finally ended up with this:

Sooooooo beautiful!!! Is it going to be a game?
I sure hope so!

There's no actual game idea behind it yet, but who knows, it might end up being a short adventure at some point.
Although it's probably going to take year or two, since I still got Ehcilc to finish and Scenario 5B waiting in line.

You have to try harder, smash that key!!! Or just use your imagination and daydream about playing the game, that's what I do :)
