Joke Game Contest #1 Gamin on my Watch

**Yoshin** · (This post was last modified: 07-19-2018, 04:22 PM by Yoshin.)

It would appear there hasn't been one of these in quite some time. In fact the last one was on the old software back in April. OF 2017! Fear not, for they have returned and now you get a shiny badge.

Now lets get down to the theme

Game and Watch

Parody your favourite Game and Watch Title! Parody your favourite regular game but on the Game and Watch!
But thats a bit vague so lets lay down some rules:

Your game MUST have Game and Watch style gameplay. If you need some examples of Game and Watch games in action here are some videos.
Keep cursing and the like to a minimum. If it wouldn't work on the forums, it might not work so great in your game.
Nothing seizure inducing. Don't have wild flashing colours or extreme strobe effects.(not sure how those would work given the theme anyways)
All entries are due on August 3rd, 11:59 PM, EST. Extensions will only be allowed if you were actually working on your game before this.

Most importantly, have fun. Remember that this is a joke game contest, so you don't have to be the best programmer or artist or whatever. Try and make people laugh. With that all said, good luck everyone!

At first I thought the idea of the contest would be making a game that would be portrayed on a Apple Watch of sorts, but this is probably the better idea of the two.

I have an idea. What's the best way of displaying text on a game and watch screen though?

LCD text, like on a calculator, I guess.

Awesome theme.

Sounds fun. I'm in.

RevampedSpider · 07-21-2018, 10:23 PM

My entry's almost done! I just need to add a few more things and it should be done by tomorrow.

Here it is! It's pretty much a Game and Watch version of Bayonetta. (The sound effects are a little loud, so turn the volume down just in case.)

I'll submit my entry when I get home from work today. This post will be edited.

What's your game about?

So, it's been nearly a month since the deadline and there's only one entry. Is this contest going to be extended or will it just end? I think the fact that a Minigame Competition was hosted a couple days before this contest was hosted, meaning there are two game-making competitions going on at the same time, may be a cause for the low interest in this contest. It might also be due to the rather long time limit; recent Minigame Competitions have time limits that last about a month and they weren't very successful (in fact, there's a discussion on how Minigame Competitions should work going on right now in the Suggestions board).

AND it's dead. Figures.

Sorry you had to win this way @RevampedSpider but congratulations all the same and thank you for your participation!

Unfortunately, there is no badge for this competition. However, I will issue you a Tusk Buck for your troubles.
