Since I wrote out these comments before realising that voting had ended, I figure I may as well still post them. There were so many inventive and high quality entries, and it's great to see such a large number of participants.

Idea: SteveMcCrea â€" I loved the word play, and enjoyed your very creative take on the theme. There are so many movies that deal with futuristic, human apocalypses that I'd forgotten the world was already post-apocalyptic.

Design: Neutron â€" it immediately made me feel like I was playing an 'infiltrate the war camp' game. The colours really contribute to the mood. (As a side note, your pixel skills are insanely good).

Functionality: Floskfinger â€" great choice of object sizes and layout. I know it's an ironic thing to say, but your image had a real 'human scale' to it

Technique: Neil Dnuma â€" your art style is charming and vibrant, and the idea is expressed so clearly. I can imagine coming down a hill in a game to find this amusing scene.

Steve: My art website's been down for over a year unfortunately. If you like I can PM you when I get my act together & upload it (which will hopefully be before I restart uni).

Thanks for the comments everyone (and to Andail for the interesting topic). I'll make sure I post a new comp soon.
