I'll be making a game over the weekend and posting updates in this thread.

Update! competition over. over a thousand entries!

Wow, I could make a game with the little skills and knowledge I have, but I unfortunately might not have the time. I lIke to see what you can do so yeah, keep us updated.

Also, didn't indie dev "Notch" enter this competion before the height of his career?

I would give this a go if I wasn't abroad and flying home this weekend. I'll be on the lookout for the next one though.


Also:

Rule 5. All content creation, and development tools are allowed. (3dsmax, Photoshop, Flash, etc)

Rule 6.Source code must be included.

Does rule 5 mean that software like Rpgmaker and Gamemaker would be allowed? And if so, what would happen to rule 6. Since these game making programs don't require source to be written.

Anyway, good luck with the game . Looking forward to playing it.

Merging the rules: All content creation and development tools are allowed as long as source code can be provided.

Mkay. Makes sense.

Looks like a cool competition. Some of the past entries are really amazing. ;o

I am designer case anyone is interested I do: Photoshop, Illustration, Flash and am now getting ...

first release. You are a shark that needs to eat gamma rays on a small atom.

Control using left/right arrow keys.

hampa the game was really good for simplicity, but after playing for some time it gives a headache : \

I think it would be better off without that movement of the camera which is rotating
