Believe it was marked like that because it was made for this [About the Global MakeCode Arcade Game Jam category](https://forum.makecode.com/t/about-the-global-makecode-arcade-game-jam-category/11022) and the category was intended for use with help requests from new users etc. I would say just put them in arcade category rather than reuse the old category ---

Okay I think I need to explain what qualifies as pink… This is pink, anything that looks like it qualifies as pink. ![Pink](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/0/00ad4ca2910c8c56239980cebd88c50761344dc0.png) Colours like these do not qualify as pink: ![Not pink.](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/5/9/59990e07f14895af4293ca5a088e736b048dafe6.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/f/b/fbe9cf939a9eb40d694b78d59a9bfcc14d45ac19.png) ---

See i told you it’s kinda weird to define what’s a color and not a color cause pink is just light red and darkening it could switch it but it is kinda hard to tell ---

so for judging it will be based on complexity, but you say being simple could be good too. Does this mean a well executed game with simple mechanics will score high in that area? ---

Yes, a simple game could be rated just as well as a complicated one depending on how well it was made. ---
