@SoftTalker unfortunately, you’ve been eliminated.

It was originally supposed to close at 10 votes but 8 votes and a 4/4/0 distribution is already determined.

The next theme vote begins today, CHOOSE NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE 2 DAYS!  
(By the way, anyone can vote.)

As electricity might be picked as a theme, are we allowed to make robots? I know then it would be hard to judge, because the people couldn’t just play the program themselves without a robot… but it would be sooooo cool!!

If you’re talking about a real robot, then I think it would very much stretch the definition of a game. So unfortunately a robot is not really a valid submission for the Unique-A-Thon.

Since the debut Unique-A-Thon is doing well, I’m definitely considering other forms of competitions. I’ll definitely consider robots in a future competition, hosting these competitions is fun and it’s definitely on my radar.

Super cool! Very hard indeed, I barely made it past the first boss! I LOVE the detail, the sound, the subtle visual changes like scrolling clouds and changing speeds of enemies, the light flashes, EEE!! Once again very nice game. (As much as I love seeing great contestants games… I might have to counter something this good in the finals, if I make it!)

Hey y’all!

**Here’s a simple update, and don’t worry no big changes contestants.**

1. TOTALLY not inspired by the Coder King competition, there will indeed be a trophy for the champion of the Unique-A-Thon.

2. There’s big things in the works for future competitions and the championship round, and I’m continuing to work hard towards making the Unique-A-Thon a great competition for any Makecoder to partake in.

If there’s any suggestions for the Unique-A-Thon or future projects, feel free to share in this topic."

I panicked- heard the title wrong and thought it said ‘Big changes in contestants!’ and instantly thought i was randomly disqualified or something hah. Hey, a trophy sounds epic, and its good to have such a dedicated host!

GRIDSPARK!  
The game is a relaxing visual and audio focused game. All actions have sounds, cute pastel and dull colors, and a simple plot! You fly around and upgrade a city electric grid. WASD To move, A to interact with buildings- there is an ingame tutorial for more.
