Aight, to those who were late, here’s the TLDR:
- Quarterfinals theme is **APOCALYPSE**
- The deadline is at **the very end of 09/09/2025 EST**
- DOUBLE ELIMINATION ROUND, only the top 4 will pass onto the semifinals
- The winner of the challenge shall win the steak along with the free ticket to the finals!
- Waitlist is officially in business!

Btw @randomuser , I rlly liked your reviews and how you covered almost every aspect/positives/criticisms and your reasonings. Anyhow, how would you rank the qualifying games btw based on ur reviews?

I’m also aware that school is starting soon if not already started by then, so the chance is that I’ll have to give out another extension

@randomuser how would you rank all the games?
Would I have qualified if you were the judge?

@Phoen1x @Luke @CodePerson @danger_kitty @ChimbroDaPro @not_a_lemon
Aight, bois, so its been like 2 days (almost) since I posted the quarterfinals post, so by then, my expectations are that you already got a game idea thought down.
_Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/coder-king-5-end-of-an-era/37293/330))_
Ima keep this “or die“ line for the rest of the polls in this challenge hehehehehe.

Okay… Unblur them at your own risk, I don’t want anyone to feel hurt!
1. “Roped” by @not_a_lemon
2. “Sunset Shootout” by @ChimbroDaPro
3. “Westward” by @Luke
4. “Cacti Chaos” by @CopySprite
5. “Stampeding Rodeo” by @swirlix
6. “Wrick Wrangler” by @Phoen1x
7. “Oregon Trail” by @CodePerson
8. “Western game” by @danger_kitty
9. “A game made in less than a day” by @WoofWoof
10. “Westen Gam” by @_jupiter
11. “West?” By allegory\_cheese
In my version, yeah, CodePerson and DangerKitty are swapped with Swirlix and CopySprite.
But let’s see what the community thinks, IMO these two were 6 and 7 and should’ve been swapped…

Ok, I made a big decision now that the community has shared their thoughts of my perhaps _ **controversial** _ results.
So, just this one time, I’ll make a compromise; I won’t eliminate @danger_kitty instantly. However, what I plan on doing is adding an additional slot for @CopySprite to participate in, now there will be a total of 7 users competing in the ck5 quarterfinals.
Nothing more should change, though; it’ll still be the top 4 who will move onto the semifinals.

Yeahhh… I said in the review, just not my kind of gameplay!

I spent SO LONG trying to choose which of the games were better, your two games were SO CLOSE!! I finally decided to put yours above because it has just a bit more enjoyable/unique gameplay (rather than the standard fighting game) and it’s complete (rather than part of a larger series), but it was really hard to pick 😆
