Concept: aikex222
Artistic Execution: jwalt
Playability: jwalt

[Mandle]

Concept: Kastchey (I just can't not vote for a Cthulhu Mythos themed temple, especially one this well done)

Artistic Execution: Kastchey (For me this was the background with the most foreboding feeling, especially in the retro-feel style. You can literally feel the pain each of those tiny pixelated sacrifices went through even though they are just about the bare minimum of pixels needed to even make a recognizable human form)

Playability: aikex222 (If I understand this category as meaning the most flexible background to plug into a game, providing instant playability then this is the one. The player will know exactly how and where they can move as soon as they see the screen.)

All other entries were awesome too! I would certainly play any game done in any of the styles all entrants presented here.

Concept: jwalt (just love your idea, not traditional at all. And looks great on Bryce to!)
Artistic Execution: Kastchey (just plain beautiful! I can't get tired of looking at it.)
Playability: aikex222 (I want to get up those stairs and find out what's up there! Maybe even take a skull and spike along, never know when you gonna need such items!)

[...]

As for me.

Concept: kastchey (for what was requested, it is the most logical choise for me)
Artistic execution: kastchey (colors well determined, love the 'compositional sketch' means allocation)
Playability: aikexx222 (absolute playable without any trouble)

[Durinde]

Concept: Aikexx222 - You can tell "bad things" happen at this location. What those "bad things" will be is left of to the imagination.

Artistic Execution: Kastchey - A level stuff. Feels like I'm looking at a screen shot for '90s horror game from a top studio.

Playability: Aikexx222 - I feel this is the easiest thing to plug and play here.

I had fun. Can't wait until the next one. Gives me something productive to work on.

[AprilSkies]

My eyes enjoyed a lot

Ok I'm gonna close voting now, and announce the winner in the edited first post. This was a close one! lots of ties.

[Kastchey]

I'm happy for aikex222 to host the next competition if he likes
I post with a speed of a wounded turtle stuck in a pool of strawberry jam anyway, which doesn't help hosting competitions

Also,

Remind me to NEVER visit a proctologist with more than 7 unpronounceable syllables in their name...

Lol! Cast your puny little fears aside, and show true faith. Doctor Fghnyhg'thg will sort you out in no time.
