#1 Produce Panic
#2 Cannibot
#3 You Call Yourself a Superhero
Top 3:
1) Biolancer
2) Cannibot
3) Wacky Workout
Well done!
“Biolancer” was smooth and responsive.
“Catch a wave” was innovative but not something you can play long without going hoarse.
Every other game had really bad collision detection and some had laggy/unresponsive input.

2. You Call Yourself a Superhero?
3. Gears of War
by far the best game i’ve ever played. very cool graphics and special effects, i especially enjoyed the outstanding art work, its clear that the team spent a lot of time perfecting the character concepts and environmental designs. i felt it was extremely professional and completely blew everyone else away. unfortunately the other games aren’t quite up to the caliber of this game. the main hero was very appealing and enjoyable to watch, especially with all of his super powers and abilities. my favorite part is when the fat ladybug rapist glitches out. i also felt that having the background not in any sort of perspective was a very unique element to incorporate into the game design. it also doesn’t move along with the character which is also very amazing. overall, very complete and fun game. a thumbs up production for real!

Ok, after playing all the games and coming to the conclusion that pretty much all the people that haven’t voted for the obvious three winners haven’t played video games ever or they are pity votes. (Especially the one quoted bellow)
For all the teams, I would like to congratulate for completing the games.I would like to tell you guys great job on the games.
#1 Biolancer-its a great combination of two genres.
#2 Produce Panic- Great assets, needed to be finished though.
#3 Bio- very completed game but the assets weren’t as well done as the others.
No game should be “short simple and quick”
it makes for a boring game, obviously!
You name a game out there that doesn’t have a title screen and i guarantee that that game, in fact, is a bad game.
If all games were suppose to be “simple” then it just wouldn’t be that exciting (aka Spitwad assault).
I sure hope when people are being hired that they are not being hired for these concepts.
“Jason Emery on July 1st, 2009
Note: Almost all of them were incomprehensible at first as it assumed I’d read the instructions (or discover where they were, in the case of Spid wad assault).
1. Spit wad assault – not much fun, but it seemed complete and needed polish like animations. It was at least playable.
2. Catch a wav – originality and potential.
3. Wacky workout – while not great, it was different and I felt better implemented than some of the other games.
That being said, I actually do work at a game company. None of these games meet the expectation of what I hope to see when interviewing candidates at work, but I’m hoping that it’s because these were very short dev cycles (like a few weeks) or they’re people just starting out.
In both cases I would stress simplicity! Fun games don’t need huge scrolling backgrounds or lots of screens. They don’t even need to have a title screen. Short, simple, quick. That should be the motto when developing an application like this. I felt many of them were too ambitious and fell flat because of it.”

wacky workout all the way!!! number 1 in my opinion. great job to all who were involved.
I am disappointed that so few of these games utilized any artists, made most of the games feel instantly boring.
1.Wacky Workout…despite being very glitchy, it was by far the most original and the character’s animations were somewhat funny (reminded me of Lester the Unlikely for the SNES)
2. Biolancer…it was quite generic, but would be “much” better if all the enemies did not shoot at once. Best art in the bunch..at least in the title screens.
3….there is no third place…I really want to vote for produce panic…but the game is not even close to working properly (I really enjoyed the plant “boss” artwork, but fighting it was also broken)
