Yeah me and StarSkipper have finished and Caz has downloaded them all, so feel free to update etc.


So does that mean it's up to Caz when the Prizes and Achievements will be awarded?

I´m kinda confused because the link works (at least for me)
I also checked the download on the game page and it also works.
Maybe it was a server problem? (just want to know because in case of doubt I´ll do what´s necessary to reupload again)
I just tried it and now the download page is displayed (before it showed one of those "there was a problem, somebody @ RMN already knows and should be working @ it" . So it was a RMN issue. That said, I clicked the normal link and it gave me one of those "download limit" pop up screen that RMN displays. Instead I chose to download via Dropbox and am currently downloading. So everything seems to be OK after all ...


Phew that´s good news. I always like to hear everything´s working fine ^^

Nobody likes the hassle of dealing with problems. That is, unless they like the challenge thrill of solving or learning from them.

That´s not really the thing I just like it when everything works. That´s WHY I solve my problems when they exist!

Fffffuuuuu don't say things like that!
Caz, the galaxy is in peril! Only you can activate the Quantum Crystal and prevent the Zyxian hoard from dooming us all! The entire fate of the galaxy lies squarely on your shoulders!

No pressure though.

That just reminded me of a famous TV quote: A-Team Quote

What ... you don't like to be encouraged? It's all for fun! :D
Congrats all round for this event. I was particularly impressed by "Suzy and freedom", "Rust and Blood" and "The God of Crawling Eyes", along with honourable mentions for "Subject" and "Teenage Costume Squad" (why is grinding so fun in this). Also much thanks to the judges for being so ultra quick, especially Fomar who reviewed games like a champ. I'd like to see each judges' rankings afterwards, even if it's just for analytical purposes.

This event made me realize common mistakes I make when I make games, so I'm going to remake my game the way it was supposed to be, using the reviews I have got as a basis for making it how I wanted. Thanks to everyone involved, and I am definitely signing up to more like this in the future.

-rewards come at a decent pace
-you choose your own skill loadout, meaning you feel in control of your ability (note that this can be negative if a player flounders...)
-battles animations are fast; actions are resolved quickly

(thanks)
Caz is still judging. There's 30? 31? games after all XD
she started later than Fomar and Star.

Look, some of us may be checking this site fifty times a day, but...

I could have sworn there was a second half to that sentence.
