Also, there seems to be some problems in submitting entries.

Using both internet explorer 8 and opera, looking at the listbox has only one option, with the text of all my possible downloads as one entry.
Okay, some of my data corrupted again, and I hope I'll be able to restore it on time!

Hexatona: WIP still needs to fix the submission stuff I believe, some people were having trouble with it during Game Chill as well. As long as you have a download for your game submitted before the deadline, the judges will figure things out.
Wait, so do we need the entire full game or just a download of a demo?

Well the point of the contest was to make a game in two weeks, so yeah, you'd need the whole game. You can submit just a demo if you want, I suppose, but don't expect it to win.
I'll make the whole game, but make it more short...
Thanks.
Just a notice that the submit game page is working!
Hmmm... my game is ready, but I think I won't partake though.

I beg your pardon?

Las Chicas aren't quitters.
But Las Chicas are clever. B-)
Las Chicas know how the dice rolls!
Only a fool would enter such contest for the sake of winning. :D

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
I intend on playing (and probably reviewing) every Game Gale '10 entry. But only after the contest is over... before that, my mind is set for one thing only. O.O

That's a shame, Deacon, after your Game Chill entry I was actually looking forward to your project.
Sorry, I changed my mind. Also it has edited Rudra graphics. Nobody wants to see those anymore, right?
Something came up and I have to drop Game Gale to preserve my undying loyalty for someone. This person is more important than my attempt to get a pretty achievement badge. Sorry guys.
