These reviews do not mean I am a judge in the tournament.

Well, I asked for a critical review ... :lol:

It would be better if the player was fixed to the grid instead of being able to move freely.
You can actually move outside of the game area, effectively preventing death.
You can collect the gold nugget on the side of the screen that way.

1.5/5 - not saying it's a pile of worthless crap, but there is definitely room for improvement here

At first I had the player sticking to the grid, but it didn't feel right. So I changed it.
I hadn't noticed the bug yet that you can move outside the game area. That needs to be fixed.

I wonder if NightOfHorror got someone else to work a little more on this game.

I am happy that there are no WASD controls, because I have a AZERTY keyboard ...
And yes, it needs a restart button.

Thanks for the reviews MrJolteon :D

Threre are two ways of looking at MrJoleons comment:
1) Him pushing you down because he doesn't want you to get better
2) Him trying to push you up because he wants you to get better

And I sincerly think he always means it the second way.

Here's the game!
I didn't do as much as I would have liked, but oh well.
I think my game looks amazing--thanks, Hares.

Okay guys, here is what I actually want you to do, I am very busy and unfortunately won't get to judge your games at the moment, so I want you to release your games that you started out with, and then I want you to release the game that I gave to you, aka the opponent's game. No need to pm me. That is all. lcl and jon, can you guys hold the judge booth down for me? If so, decide who will be the master judge. Also, knuckle, just keep making graphics, pixel art may come to you, or if you are a better irl artist, then get a scanner. Just keep trying, you will get there . :)

HBlade, I have been debating my decision for days, and well, I have to sadly conclude that this game is disqualified from the entries. You see, the whole point of the tournament wasn't to create a game, it was to take someone else's game and try to finish someone else's idea. This theme was meant to show that games that aren't finished here in GE can be finished, and finished good. Unfortunately, you seem to have read my title of the thread, and assumed the theme was Horror, but didn't actually see when the first deadline was that was needed for submissions of games. The judges can still judge it, so you know how good it was, but sadly, it can't actually be considered a tournament entry. :(

When actually is the judge week? And how should I judge? Do I judge both versions of each games, the first and the latest? Or just the latest and compare it to the first version?

This is actually judge week. Judge week lasts for the week after the deadline.
I'm pretty confused on the rating too, I've rated only the latest versions, but not the first ones yet...
