X-G:
Your game is bad ass! It is so old school, I love it! I did notice that you can still be hurt during dialog. Is that normal? I would guess you would pause the world, but it could add to the challenge. Either way, great job!;D

I was planning on freezing enemy movement while a dialogue is active, but time constraints kept me from doing so. Hell, I didn't even manage to fulfill all the requirements for participation.

Well, my vote goes for X-G's effort, even if it is just a unimaginative zelda clone ;)

The graphics are nice, the scrolling smooth, the dialog well put together and the presentation spot on. Plus the best thing is the source code is just lovely to look at and a lesson on how to use scripting properly.

Oh dear Eris, please don't do that. The scripting is not at all well-implemented a lot of the time. The waiting system in particular is horrible and probably disastrously buggy. Please don't. T____T

X-G, I can't play your game, zlib1.dll is not included in the binaries zip.

Forget it, I already took it from your Cosmic Invaders, BTW freaking amazing little game! it has the same style of C.I. which I really like. Definitely it doesn't look like a SpeedHack entry. Nice!

Is X-G's entry actually a game or pretty pictures? I haven't gotten to playing it yet, but based on what I'm reading I'm gonna jizz my pants when I play it. (Nobody has actually mentioned how it plays, just saying that it looks awesome.)

Nobody has mentioned Goodbytes' entry to my knowledge. I found the Easy Trapeezy game to be quite entertaining. I've spent more time playing that than any of the other SH entries so far. It's simple yet fun and funny. My best score is in the 75,000 range.

it's a neat game X-G, you should give a binary to ML 'cause he can't compile it (and therefore won't be in the binaries he releases next monday if you don't) -- I hope you continue to work on it after the compo is over.

it hit me more like a secret of many style game -- a very short one I mean.
