I talked before about the entry in the Unearthly Challenge. Our team could not finish the 3D version – it’s sad, but there was not enough time. So I took the whole thing into 2D. Interesting experience in a way. It has the disadvantage that we really started with 3D in mind. So we were a bit restricted with the ideas – it had to be doable in time, and it had to be logical (no weird 2D trickery). Then again – since I designed out all the separated parts for modeling, I had working designs when starting to paint. I wish I had one more day – but I made it just in time.
My fav of the contest is this one by Skadi. Now here is just hoping the judges wont take too long.

I noticed a bit late that many people don’t get the Dig Dug reference. I guess the game is a bit old by now
So here some screenshots as explanation.

This is Dig Dug, the main game influence.

Also the C64 game Boulder Dash - thats where the boulders are from.
