Closewoo, free review!
Edit: Hopefully the judges won't run into the slight bug I found in the game after I submitted it.

I'm glad to see a few others decided to review these games as well. Thanks to everyone who did. I'll hopefully have the last few reviews out in a day or so.
A few people have said my reviews for these games seem unduly harsh for games made in such a short amount of time, but a lot of these games turned out quite good so I don't think the time limit was as much of an inhibiting factor as people think.
However, regardless of this I do feel turning in anything at all was an accomplishment.

The judges have mostly finished playing, it's just a matter of us finding time to get together and discuss our thoughts. I am hoping we'll have this figured out in the next day or so.
I did. The judges acted in accordance with RM site code of conduct and judged based on screenshots and the game's perceived potential. It did not matter that the game had nothing playable.
^this is a joke
^I need to point this out because some of you take my offhand remarks about this contest seriously.

Are you two related?
Pfft, hardly. I'm glad we're not related - How can he consider himself a RPG fan when he never had a PS1 or PS2!

We are from the great Tona family.
I can't believe I never noticed that before.
Knowing most judges didn't like my entry, My guess (and my rooting) is Skyscraper. I've played only about half the projects, but I found it to be the most interesting.
