Oh dang, that was fast! It has a similar base gameplay… but also differences 🤭

Space or magical version of subway surfers type gameplay (I’m guessing the star looking things in the background are stars or some sort of magic)?

Oh gosh the coding is definately at its lymits… the PHYSICS AGH!! In 2d games I simply make the boxes walls but NOO in this wierd semi-3d I have to calculate where the top of the box is and make the player stand on it! Its almost too much for my brain…

Here it is! There should be a separate topic coming out soon with some details, but you won’t need it… everything you need to know is contained in this game! (How polished! The tutorial is very fun- I added confetti :3)

Nope. I cant do this. The only reason I agreed to submit my game today was because I was working on the ending for my GAME JAM SUBMISSION. I thought it would take at most 2 days but nope. MY PROJECT CRASHED. Causing the ending to take 5 DAYS (cause I had to use a backup save that didn’t have the ending.)  
Then…BURNOUT AND IDEAS BLOCK HIT ME.

Im sorry @Unique. I can’t take this.

Hello contestants and Makecode users.

I’m extremely saddened to announce that for the time being, **the Unique-A-Thon tournament will be halted**. This means that plans for future tournaments under the Unique-A-Thon name won’t proceed further at this point in time.

**I’ve decided to make this decision for the health of the contestants**. Unique-A-Thon 2 at it’s current stage is unfortunately at a low-point, multiple contestants are competing in multiple competitions at the same time. I also took into consideration that a multitude of contestants, along with myself, will soon resume their classes, minus a few exceptions. Remember, just a week ago, the Official Jam was ending, the Coder King 3 was starting, and other competitions where beginning.

At this point in time, I feel it would be irresponsible to continue Unique-A-Thon. Therefore, this competition was been **indefinitely put on hold**.

I will find some way to reward or accommodate the remaining contestants, as well as the ones who joined this competition.

I will be forever thankful for the opportunities this project has opened up for me, and the people who’ve participated.

Thank you ❤.

Hey, Don’t feel like you’re the reason (nor my comp) is why UAT2 is halted. Just keep on doing what you have to do @Unique

Dissapointing, but reasonable. Originally I thought this was too harsh until I realized i’m one of the few contestants who didn’t participate in the game jam and also has online classes instead of the more time-consuming in person ones. I really hope this can be resumed soon! Thank you Unique for being an amazing host!

Well in all honesty, not really. If the four last contestants are ever all collectively available for a UAT2 continuation, I wouldn’t turn it down. But @Maketendo hasn’t posted in a while.

Either way, I gotta think about it. But if it does come back, it will be done right 👍
