This post (the one I am replying to) is actually a leak of a future BARRIER game called SPIKE.

It looks sooo good! I love all the special effects, but the actual gameplay is a little basic. Because the enemies are all the same, spawning from the same place, the game just kinda devolves into spamming at the spawn point. Great start, I love all the animations and I am excited to see what you could make this into!

@Taser how does a “double elimination” work for a coding competition? 🤨

Yeah, I was gonna make a story (cutscenes between each level) but I ran out of time and now I forgot the entire storyline 😅

yeah, just working on the mechanics. Working on spawning enemies should be easy, but somehow, i just can’t seem to get around to it 😅

Well… I uhhh… hmm…
Obviously my rhythm game totally fits the theme (What’s the theme again?) and since almost no one else has finished anything, I’m sure Taser will let me submit without issue. 😇

“Double elimination” is a bracket type where, when you lose, you go down to the lower bracket, thus needing to be eliminated _twice_ before you are actually out.

6 contestants at the start of this round, and only 4 contestants move on at the end of this round. What is there to be confused about?

Aight, guys, I have made a decision, for real this time, despite the public opinion demanding for at least 2 weeks of extension time, **I decided not to GIVE OUT ANY MORE EXTENSIONS for the quarterfinals round**.
I had stated numerous times (actually did I???) that I did not want to drag out this competition to the same lengths as CK4, with all the extensions that merely just promoted procrastination if anything, and a lack of any strong progress. So far, I have given one month’s worth of game development time, and I have only gotten a few games out of it.
So, what happens next? Well, supposedly I’ll let the 4 people who have submitted a game move onto the next round, in which it is currently @Phoen1x , @CodePerson , @ChimbroDaPro , and @not_a_lemon
Now, this is where I want the public opinion to come in again. I can either choose to create a 4-person grand finale unlike the traditional 3 contestants, or I can make them do the SEMIFINALS round and hope that the results are better for that time around.
