Winners

 

The public voting is now over and the winners are:

 

1st Place

 

Gloop

Entry: Gloop
Author: Toris
Game Type: Puzzle

Craigs Comment: Lemmings like puzzle game only with water! Pointer could move a touch faster, but its very addictive. I think the level select spoils it a bit, it should just start on level one

Guyfawkes Comment: A very good game similar in style to Lemmings. Agree with Craig about the level select as it could make the game easier if stuck on a certain level.

Squad 14

Entry: Squad 14
Author: Metellius
Game Type: Shoot Em Up

Craigs Comment: One number - 1942! Great looking gp32 clone, smooth, hundreds of sprites, most of those are bullets - mega hard!

Guyfawkes Comment: A very good game with loads of action on the screen. No music or sfx though. Where's the infinite health cheat? :)

3rd Place

 

Giro

Entry: Giro
Author: Franz Lankes
Game Type: Driving

Craigs Comment: Wooo.. the GP32 does mode7, lovely rendered graphics make this look stunning, but the game itself isn't all that playable. Full marks for visuals though, amazing.

Guyfawkes Comment: Like the tunnel game, graphically very impressive but needs some more work on the gameplay. Another game to show off what the GP32 can do.

Congratulations to the winners and also to everyone that entered

Entry: Tunnel Game 3D Tech Demo
