No poll this time. You must review and choose.

NOTE: I took mine out after seeing FinaleTI's.

Darn I am disappointed at how many people ditched their entry. I wish at least they entered a demo or something. That kind of stuff always makes me feel relunctant about doing a 2011 Axe contest.

Also Raylin could you post your entry anyway even if it's no longer participating? I would like to try it too. I'll download the other two now.

Yeah it would be like last year, although I am unsure when it would start. It would most likely be a similar deadline as the other, though.

Btw, I tried the Zadoth game and it's kinda cool and quite challenging at first, but then I found a glitch that allowed me to survive forever until I decide to let myself die. I scored 9818.

Btw who made that Zombie game?

EDIT: I just tried FinaleTI's entry and it looks great, but there were two issues: Game was extremly slow outside battles (it took 3 seconds to render the character) and I got plenty of ERR:INVALID DIM everywhere, forcing me to reinstall the game over and over.

When walking and after selecting Attack in battle. During walking the error happened randomly while moving.

I'll be releasing my discontinued entry soon, after I work out a few bugs.

EDIT: What happened to my avatar?

Not to be voted on or anything but this is what I would have submitted if i felt like I had a chance at winning.

ZaDoth:

Game concept/originality: Great concept 9/10
Ease of use: 5/10 Although speed was good, in several places key presses did not respond at all, which basically led to me dying. Additionally, I couldn't quite figure out TNT. Also when you died you had to press right or something to properly restart which was annoying...
Graphics: ASCII is acceptable by BASIC standards: 7.5/10
Overall: 21.5/30: Interesting puzzle/reflex concept that had me excited as I started the game. Unfortunately some buggy gameplay sort of ruined it. This would be amazing if ported to Axe with a scrolling map

FMA:
Game concept/originality: It's an RPG, plus I love FMA 9/10
Ease of use: 3/10 I couldn't get this to work at all . Wabbit would give me ERR UNDEFINED's since Windows can't extract the statvar-pics properly, and I couldn't get enough RAM free on real hardware. Other bugs people have reported in addition to the slow rendering times seen in the screenies have also influenced this rating.
Graphics: 9.5/10 amazing!!! Only reason it's not 10/10 is because of the slow char render times...
Overall: 21.5/30: It probably would have been epic if I had less programs taking up VAT space in my calculator...

So...I guess it's a tie then for me. I actually didn't plan that at all. Great. Now I have to actually decide....

Wow. I didn't expect my game to be that buggy for everyone...
I'll try to make a hybrid version(at the very least I'll use XCOPY or CopyProg) so that it's more playable.
