JIG’s Contest Entries Are Up

By: Tim

On: August 26th, 2006

The first Game Design Competition organized by JayisGames went pretty well with twenty-three entries of high pedigree to salivate over. First eight are already up and playable from JIG’s web site.

Two efforts from Tonypa, one from Mateusz Skutnik and a host of others complete this batch.

Submachine Zero seems to be a clear favorite in the first round judging by the comments. Gear Puzzle by David Durham is pretty fun as well.

Update: Gateway from the second collection of entries is rather impressive, and could possibly go head to head with Mateusz’s latest adventure.

Much thanks to Jay for the corrections!

Just busy, you know how crazy it can get. =)

Cheers for the announcement, though we had 23 entries to be exact, and almost all of them worthy of being a finalist. It’s going to be a very tough decision. I hope to have the next batch up ‘soon’. ;)

Submachine was nice, as is always the case. However, I really liked playing through gateway. The puzzles were never as simple as they first looked, and yet the more complicated ones weren’t so mind-scratchingly confusing as to warrant a complete ‘ALT+F4’D!’.

I always thought I was on the right track, though I was almost beat by one of the latter puzzles. Very clever… and a much more unsettling atmosphere compared to Submachine.
