4th Annual GB Halloween Competition!

It's that time again for our annual halloween competition! The theme is just anything relating to halloween or the theme of "haunted". Games can be flash or exe downloads. The deadline for entries will be November 1st at 11:59 PM GMT. Submit your entires to GB in the normal way and note in the description it is for the halloween contest.

3 of our GB admins (Jacob, Ricky, and Cecil) will be our judges this year. They will each give each game a score out of 10 for gameplay and a score out of 5 for presentation. All the scores will be added together and the game with the most points wins! In the case of a tie, the community will vote. Only votes from GB members registered before today will count and only one vote will be allowed per IP address.

There are two prizes available:

Many thanks to Clickteam for the prize. You guys are awesome! :D

The 1st place winner will get first choice of prizes and 2nd place winner will get whichever is left over.

Looks good, one I'm willing to participate in! Good luck everybody!

PS: Are there any limitations? E.g. event number, frame number, file size, etc. And does it worth a few good points if we also send .mfa with comments?:)

KetchupMaster's picture

There are no other limitations besides what is listed in the post :D I suggest just keeping the file size reasonable (don't make a 5GB game of pong). And since you will not be submitting the source file, only the compiled one, there's no extra points for comments. Good luck!

Okay, thanks:) I'm on it. I hope we will see many great games at this contest!

Hopefully this year I can make something a little better than Tricks and Treats xD
I might flash that game though, and try to get a few bucks off Mochi :)

I plan on entering again this year with something better.

Solgryn's picture

I'll be joining this one too then :D if i can get the time

OldManClayton's picture

Hey, I could join this one...

Too much to do though! :(

Ricky's picture

I takes about 2 nights to make a game, you never know when you won't be able to sleep n_n

Eliyahu's picture

2 nights for a not-so-good game :P
A little more than a few extra for a good game.

Unfortunately for me, I'm falling asleep before I can think of ideas xD
Ugh I can't think of anything. Maybe I'll pass this year.

KetchupMaster's picture

Don't give up already!

:c 'Jacob the almighty admin hope crusher'

Ricky's picture

wait what? Jacob is not an admin, that was just a joke XD

BoxWorks's picture

THE WORLD IS A LIE.

OldManClayton's picture

THE CAPE IS A LIE!

... I assume you GB admins get admin capes too. If you don't, get on that.

Ricky's picture

NO CAPES, they get stuck in propellers (we can fly)

Just like Syndrome in The Incredibles.

I have a name for a Halloween game but that's about it.

BoxWorks's picture

Creativity is a dying art, they say.

OldManClayton's picture

I am Syndrome! Your nemesis, and... Brilliant.

Sunflower's picture

Since I'm new here and some things aren't so obvious for me... does a competition entry have to be done in one of Clickteam's programs? After all it's better to know it before starting making a game. ;)

KetchupMaster's picture

@sunflower: it depends on the competition. for this one you do not have to use clickteam software. as long as the final product is an exe that we'lll be able to run on windows, you can use whatever software you want.

BoxWorks's picture

.__. OMC, you've been watching too much of that movie.

OldManClayton's picture

Someone we used to babysit used to watch it all the time.

Though I'd love it enough to quote it even if I hadn't been forced to watch it every day.

RickyRombo's picture

I just saw it the other day.

By the way, why $50 or SWF exporter? Isn't the exporter worth $69?

Ricky's picture

Yes rombo, but not to click team, think man. They would much rather you chose the exporter than cash. One cost's them money while the other only cost's them potential money.

jonathanq's picture

How will the $50 be recieved?

KetchupMaster's picture

The $50 will be sent via PayPal

jonathanq's picture

Should we build the application or give you the coding?

KetchupMaster's picture

build it please :D

RickyRombo's picture

"Yes rombo, but not to click team, think man. They would much rather you chose the exporter than cash. One cost's them money while the other only cost's them potential money."

Just wondering :)

After all, I already bought the exporter and already bought a years hosting... so...

Jeff's picture

Now all you need to do is win.....

Eliyahu's picture

Haha Jeff is funny.
No one can win if I enter >:) jk. I might not even enter. But maybe I will.

Good luck, all.

RickyRombo's picture

Not even you :O

BoxWorks's picture

UMADBRO?

mdm's picture

5 days and no entries I have seen. Or maybe just I missed something between the numerous features of the site?:D Anybody else working on something?

jonathanq's picture

When I posted mine it was only visible when I was logged in What gives HUH?? Why isn't my game visible if I'm not logged in? I have a feeling that you can't see it from other peoples files either.

Ricky's picture

? i checked your profile and all 3 of your games are published

jonathanq's picture

Was one of them 8-Bit Man's Halloween?

KetchupMaster's picture

We have received two entries from jonathanq and hairybiker. They will not be published until the deadline has passed. Nothing to worry about. We did receive the entries.

@Ricky: not published games don't show on profiles.

Ricky's picture

oh, i fail at admining ;_;

mdm's picture

Okay, I hope I can increase that number by one on Monday... nice to hear others have already submitted some games.

OldManClayton's picture

That's okay, Ricky. The ad mines are tough to work in.

jonathanq's picture

now why isn't my 8-Bit Man 3 Demo available? this is probably just a website glitch but still please fix it soon!

KetchupMaster's picture

jonathanq, games have to be approved by an admin before they show up. It's not a glitch.

RickyRombo's picture

Uh oh... I've had a hectic week! I'll have to pull it together Sunday or I won't make it in time!!!

hairybiker's picture

im glad to see you recieved my entry, has it been approved?

KetchupMaster's picture

We are waiting to approve all the entries until the competition deadline has passed.
