New ConstructRU competition "BomberMania"

Hello!

I?m an admin of ConstructRU.jimdo.com and every month we hold contests on our forum. I decided to start publishing all information about it in this topic. Here you can see contest works of our participants, and also obtain all necessary information about new competitions.

If you have time and desire we would be very glad if you take part!

Month ago we held a competition titled ''The Great Construct''. The task was following:

Create game in the genre of platformer. There should be main character and enemies. Player should collect coins. The game necessarily should be new and created exclusively for this competition. Grades for the original idea and gameplay.

The competition was attended by 7 people, we have got 7 games, and I post 5 of them.

Soon I'll publish results of our new contest ''Game Ball 2009'' which took place on our forum from August 27 to September 15, 2009. More here: http://construct.ixbb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=361

I would be glad to hear your comments <img src="http://i26.tinypic.com/332sebm.jpg">

Really cool stuff guys!!! Love it!

Thumbs up!

I'm very excited that you like this! <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/fss.gif">

Tell me what game did you like most? <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/ed.gif">

You probably should fix those DropBox download links - anything that starts with https:// doesn't work for the public, because it requires authorization (it is meant for users, not visitors). Use the public link

I like Dark Story for the style and Rich Adventure gave me a laugh! The rest are pretty good, too!

Oops! <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/fk.gif"> You're right � these links don't work for other people. Probably I just had not got enough sleep <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/dq.gif">

Now I've fixed the links, all should be fine!

I like the game Rich Adventure too � I personally voted for it.

Dark Story - Was my favourite graphically but I was unable to play as the game character vanished on the start of the game, and then I could use the right arrow key to scroll to the end of the level.

So I'd say Jump Jump Pixel Ninja was my favourite.

Are you going to post any new contests here? I'd be interested in taking part if I get time or an idea that fits the competition.

Yes, I'm going to report in this topic about all new contests and anyone can participate.

To make it more easy - you don't need to go to the Russian forum, register there and post your game - you can simply send me a link as personal message, and then I'll send it to the judges. After the end of the contest (after voting) I'll publish games to public download and announce the winners here (as in the first post). I want to remind that the winners receive their award in the form of a star on their avatars: 1st place - gold star, 2nd place - silver star, 3d place - bronze star. Also the winner's name will be published on the header of ConstructRU forum(until the next winner).

A new contest starts October 1, 2009. On this day I will write here a new post in which I'll explain contest assignment in detail and everyone will be able to take part and compete with other participants.

This is sooooo cool Maryjane!! It's great that you are running the contests and these were all unique games.

Jumpjumppixelninja - Had some neat game play with the jumps, but got to be a little frustrating after level 5. Still a great game.

DarkStory - Loved the setting, the rain. It could really use some rain sound effects. Would really add a lot to the game.

Deephaven - Great graphics. I kept on dying on the red things. The scream really freaked me out.

Richadventure- I couldn't kill the green boxes by jumping on them. Funny use of Rich!

Inside - At first I didn't think this was a game.. but I clicked around and it was so unique! Never played a game on a desktop before.

My favorite overall was probably Darkstory. 2nd would be jumpjumppixelninja.

Looking forward to the next competition!

As I said above, I publish new results of the second contest ''Game Ball 2009'' which took place on our forum from 27 August to 15 September. (link: http://construct.ixbb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=361)

Assignment was the following: to make the game in the genre Arcanoid. Competition works were judged by the three points: 1. Original idea. 2. Gameplay. 3. The game should have certain elements - menu, several levels, music and sound effects.

They all look pretty good!

newt

Thank you!

You've helped me very much.

P.S. I've replaced RamP avatar.

Pirates looks awsome! It SOUNDS awsome too! the music and sound effects where wonderful. However, the ball tended to dissapear out of the screen and never come back. If there's an updated version without this problem, or a .cap, please post it cus i would like to play it for real.
