OROW

The One Room, One Week competition originally did "what it says on the tin": a competition to create a game in one week that only had one room. However, definitions of week and room fell prey to such things as Timezones, pre-made resources, background-switching, scrolling rooms, etc. So now the week rule pretty much stands, but the one room rule is very flexible. The competiton keeps its snappy title, though.
