Congrats @filmote @Vampirics and @uXe!

Yeah, there were so many awesome entries it convinced me to buy an Arduboy! I voted for @crait’s Skulls game, it’s so polished!

So when is the next jam? I have a C++ book arriving later today and I want to play!

And here is the code size adjusted rankings that I was able to do with the help of @mlxxxp evaluating and normalizing the sizes of all the games.

  1. Fill the cup by @Spartanfox
  2. Lion Tamer [Game Jam 5] by @filmote @vampirics and @uXe
  3. Firebox - Game Jam 5 Entry by @jhhoward
  4. Beam 'em Up [Game Jam 5] by @unwiredben
  5. New Blocks On The Kid by @bateske Disqualified!
  6. Miss Snake by @mad4j

Here is the math I used: I took the delta from the largest adjusted file size, and multiplied that times the number of votes and sorted according to that. Unscientific, sure. If someone wants to appeal the decision please just send me PM, do not make a big deal about it here in the thread this is supposed to be fun.

So what does it all MEAN?

Well the adjusted scores means, everyone will qualify for prizes according to their un-adjusted voted results, in addition:

@Spartanfox went up a level and now qualifies for a 1st place prize!
@jhhoward gets a position on the board and qualifies for 3rd place prize!
@unwiredben gains a position and now qualifies for a 4th place prize!
@bateske takes a position but is immediately disqualified for running the joint!
@mad4j also now qualifies for a 5th place prize!

(@filmote, @Vampirics, @uXe, @obono and @inajob all retain their higher level rankings from the origonal vote!)

PRIZES!

Regular Arduboy and Micro Arcade rewards will ship in the next week! Other prizes that have not been constructed yet will be delivered on a “when ready” basis. It’s gonna be several month for those Arduboy Minis! (I’m busy trying to get FX to everyone first! If you would prefer to not wait for your prize, please PM me and I can send you a regular Arduboy Micro Arcade instead!

Apologies for the late response I’ve been turning my arduboy into a useless crank powered version.
But thank you to everyone who voted for my game I very much enjoyed making it and I plan to make more. Probably after my arduboy is in one piece though the poor thing.

First thing Im doing with the arduboy mini is 3d printing a BMO body for it
