Circy's Birthday Compo Results
News posted 25th July, 2003 by Mitch M  
As said in the forums, Circy wanted presents for his 20th birthday. And as known, he's obsessed with platform games. So our mission was: Make me a platformer with 5 levels minimum and a custom platform engine! 4 of us succeded. And here are his results, and all, with some circism:

4th Place: Fire And His Kidnapped Brother, by Fire
Graphically it was colourful...but the gameplay and general presentation was...shocking.

3th Place: Ball Bloke 2, by Chris Branch
Ball Bloke somehow manages to be even graphically worse than the above effort...but theres a difference! Chris Branches game manages to be pretty fun, and the engine is relatively well done.

2nd Place: Flin The Pie Detective, by Aku
You've basically got some wonderful graphics and a very competant engine. The levels are graphically brilliant, as they are set around the beach. The only gripes I see are that the engine is flawed in the sense that the player lands at random heights and its really hard to kill bad guys.

1st Place: Mr 81, by Seji
A fabulously retro platformer which lacks the graphics, but engine-wise is very well done. You can climb up walls and everything! This is a great peice of work overall, I cant find anything particularly bad about it.

Well done us! XD

Wow! Thank you for the oppurtunity to prove to myself that I can still make games like the rest of the guys! Today is one of the happiest days I have had in a long time!

heh...of course you can...and you're much better than many kilkers. You may want to find an artist, your codings and level design are great.

You know what would be really weird...? A normal photo of Circy, where he's just sitting, facing the camera, and smiling normally :O
