I'm not dead, if that's what you're thinking...

  We're back!  That's right!  I'm gonna start posting again! *crickets*

    I've actually been over-the-top busy lately, and stuff, and yeah... I've been participating in JoltKombat (a new GJ thing Zack Banack created).  I'm going head to head against wimpy-poo Orange08.  I know I'm gonna win... ah sweet victory.  For updates on, SLASH, visit the JK blog and the SLASH website.

Finally, on this new post, here are some screens of this new game. :)

Mini Contest 02 Winner: CRUSH Review

     The winner of our Mini Contest 02, Kris (Kris Games), chose for me to review his 

platformer, Crush.

     In Crush, you play as a weird block type thing (lol) that awakes in a weird world that has no color (colour).  Oddly enough, the story is based around regaining that color.  All of the graphics are in gray-scale form except for the background, which this contrast might not be the best.  The graphic style is smooth and simple though, and it works well.  In the game, you come across spikes, and static area's that hurt you. Falling through the view will also kill you.  It's rather hard, because the player can only jump when he is on a jump arrow icon.  As irritating as this is, it becomes more of a game-play object, that designs some very cool levels.  On top of this, you have portals you must cross through to get to other areas in the room.  These portals are sudden though, and the gravity you have when touching them applies to the gravity you get when falling out of the second.  This becomes irritating when you must fall at a quick speed and hit the up key precisely when you fall on a target.  But, yeah, I'm guessing most of the game is meant to be hard.  Especially concerning how hard the final boss is.  The story is a little cheesy, but most games never come with a story, it's a nice little touch to this game.  The music is great, and the game is filled with various sounds.  Overall this game is a short little one I recommend trying.  Though it's hardness, it's still a pretty well polished game.  Final score: 4.8 / 5

 Crush:

Mini Competition 02: Results! (early)

  Well, my friends bugged me to release the results, and I guess they won!

We got a total of 6 entries, wow that was a ton! XD  Well, my estimate was 139, and the winner of the competition with the closest guess, was *drum-roll* Kris at 150! :D  In second place was Shelby S, whose guess was only 3 further than Kris', so I'm gonna be nice and give out a 'mini prize' :)  Kris can choose from any of the prizes, and Shelby wins a link on the next blog post, to whatever he desires. (to a game, a blog, etc.)  I'll give out the next blog post as soon as I can get what Kris and Shelby want.  Congrats guys!
