We've had some good feedback about the concept of the Hi-Score Mash-up Game Jam, but a number of people have said that they wouldn't be able to get a submission the were happy with completed in time for the initial deadline.

As nobody made a submission in time, I'm making it a month-long competition and extending the deadline to 11:59pm 20th November (GMT/UTC) which will make it a month-long competition.

I've also removed the requirement that the game be in a different genre to the original genre as it can be difficult to make a black-and-white judgement as to whether or not two games are part of the same genre. Instead the creativity criteria will reward entries which rework the original concept(s) in different ways or make the character(s) work well in a different genre.
