Tanks is updated from the last available version by me. I added a menu and a small readme file. I also compiled Falling Starz and I added a speed reducer. Don't know how it really works. Original source codes for both games are still there. Rest of the entries are untouched.
Please check the entries and cast you vote. Poll will be opened for 12 days!
Instructions for evaluation:
The most important thing you should pay attention to is the gameplay. Simply, how fun is to play the game. How good balanced is the challenge. The replay value.
Second most important thing is the cleverness and ingeniously in creation of a concept that works great with one control key. I'm not putting this on the first place since a good idea doesn't have to be very well executed and may result in a bad game. Still this is something you should have in mind.
Third element is technical perfection of the game which influences on the gameplay quite a lot. If the game is difficult to play because keyboard handler sucks or collision is bad you probably won't enjoy playing it. Technical perfections also includes flicker or no flicker, menu accessibility, presence of bugs, stuff like ability do try again if you lose the game and similar.
Fourth is the graphic. An important element but should not be crucial for this challenge due the time limit and gameplay restriction.
The rest is game design, sound, music, documentation, story, and anything you can think of.
These are just the guidelines. Vote whatever you like. What is most important is that you don't have to be able to check all the entries in order to vote. Incompatibility is the problem of the author. Still, if you have problems running a certain entry check it's documentation if one exist. It might be helpful.
Please post comments on the entries to keep it more interesting. I'll post mine later. I don't think it would be ok to do that in the first post.
Thank you for participating.
