I really liked it :D
But it's a little tricky xD

I'm still working on this game... :/ On to extreme fast coding, haven't even tested for lag yet :(
I'm way behind, glad we got 24 and a half hours left to go according to the clock.

Congrats to the people finished, your one up on me. I'm not going to sleep for a bit 0_0

This is the code to end the game, right?

_root.WPI_ArcadeStopSingleGame();

And it can be called on the main timeline, or in a movieclip, or wherever?

And considering the amount I got done, I'm not sure yet if it was worth it or not :P

I wouldn't say that at all. Although "Dance Dance Wiggi" does look fantastic graphically, there are many other entries that offer a lot more varied gameplay. I, personally, don't see much point to DDR-type games unless you're actually dancing to play them, or they offer something more than "push-the-button, get rewarded or crapped-on" play. But, obviously, that's just me... and others will feel differently.

I have a 4 year old, and she loved the idea presented in the game I was making... she loved the animations of the guys getting captured by the vines especially, so much so, that she was determined to learn to play it. And she did... and she was even good! My guess is, if I were to plop her down in front of the dancing game, she would become bored very quickly, even if I were able to effectively explain to her the beat-matching for key-presses (which I somewhat doubt, as even I had trouble matching the key-strokes with the beat sequence).

Anyway... all of the games offer something unique, and the judging can't come down to the one that looks the best, can it?

I'm very impressed by Stigg's Veggie-Matic. Clever plot and tricky gameplay.
Dear god, when will the clicking stop!? D=

all done. go play it!

Wiggi Walk was well done, but how dubious is it to answer questions from scary looking strangers in the first place?

Wonchop, yours was very good, nice art/animation, good job:)

The deadline will not be extended, it just wouldn't be fair to those who have sacrificed to meet the deadline. It remains at 12:00 AM pacific time, which is 3:00 AM EST. Good luck all!

BoMtoons, can you check your PM's please :)

I wish the boss flashed when hit and had a life meter, but other than that it was a ton of fun...and the voice acting was hilarious "Eat your Veggies!" LOL

I responded to your PM.

oh just a question , are you going to put most of these games on the wiggi site? and if they dont win the competition do you even consider putting them on the site?

I think the majority of them will end up on the site in the "Arcade."

The judging process you have outlined in that post sounds incredibly fair, and the panel sounds diverse enough that everyone should feel they have a fighting chance...

The judging does sound like it will be as fair as it can be really. Having seen quite a lot of the entries, i think i have a good idea of who will most likely claim the top few places though. I'm not very confident at all about my own entry now... but i dont mind, because i think i've made something that will at least be a solid contribution to the website, and i think it will still be relevant in the face of everything else because i tried something quite different really. I suppose it just depends on how much the judges like my concept =]

On an unrelated note, it's actually my 18th birthday today ^ . ^

Happy B-day!

*sigh* That Kitty Krew sure loves to be retards.

Yeah, some people have too much time on their hands. I wouldn't mind so much if they would rate them correclty, I just don't want people looking for WW games to find that crap and think it's rated for "everyone"

My B-day is tomorrow :) BomToons as long as I don't reference _root I should be good right?

Yes, but some people are referencing _level0 which is just as bad. You're supposed to use "relative" rather than "absolute" targeting, which means "this" and "this._parent" But, at this point, if you're still having problems, I'd say just submit it as is and we'll figure it out when we get the source file.

no thats what I've been doing just double checking. I'm adding sounds to it now and after I finish that and touch up the menus it'll be sent.

BoM, I haven't been able to get the bugs out of mine and CrazyC's game, but if your team manages to ever fix it, could you have one of them email me or something, just to tell me what the problem was and how it was fixed? I'd like to know :)

Yeah, if we figure it out, we'll let you know. Sometimes it just takes some fresh eyes to figure stuff out.

Is it okay if we leave a bunch of trace actions in the .FLA? Also, the deadline is in about 6 hours or so, but when/where will you be announcing the winners?

I should have it emailed pretty soon.

Now to quickly whip up a Wiggi Massacre game in the few hours there are left...

Seriously though, the portal'ers must be getting pretty sick of all these wiggi games by now :p I think a Wiggi Massacre game would score quite well, even if it was complete crap...

Yeah, the veggi-matic could easily be turned into a kill the zombie wiggies game.
