For lazy peeps (I think I got it right). :^_^:

[I'm also not sure if it counts down terribly smoothly.  Please feel free to remove it if it starts caning the forum. :O_o:]

It refreshes every 3 seconds, which I think is probably fine

[Smiley]

I guess I'll be the one starting this.

Title: SMCompetition
Summary: The dude who looks a lot like Samus in a power suit a lot like Samus' is on another adventure! After abandoning that ship he stole after the nuclear incident elsewhere he finds himself on some strange, icy, demonic planet. Can he figure out the mystery and escape the horror that is the world within the planet?

Title: Ice Returns - Epysbane (Ver 0.9 Contest build)
Made by: Crys and Metaquarius
Summary: I was actually going to make this more in-depth and have a funky plot, which is something I will work towards for the non-contest release. As it stands it's pretty much fun with grappling beam in a water wonderland! *wink*

You'll be done with the hack after reaching a certain room and then back-tracking to the ship, the room in question may not be immediately obvious but aim for 100% item collection and you're sure to pass it!

Central items: Grappling Beam, Gravity suit.
Credits:

• James: Fusion graphics rip
• Crys/Lunaria: Level design, creative lead
• Jam: Start with items patch.
• Manaqua: Support last minute patching help.
• Metaquarius: Head coder, various amazing pieces of ASM.
• Metconst: Hex changes resource database. (Handy!)
• Sleep: This is where I would put my sleep, IF I HAD ANY!! :fukken:

Percentage: fuck if I know! #nobetatesting #swagyolo360 (I'll update when I know!) I think it's 19% though.
Other: You thought So Little Items was bad enough for worst 2014? Wait until you play this fucker, guaranteed to be the worst hack of the bunch by far, 75% of all the level design was done in a sleep deprived state a few hours before the deadline.

Hey hey hey, Quote and I made this, there's a readme! (Also UNHEADERED)

Title: SUNSHINE ODDITY
Summary: Much samus, Very winter, Such reef. Wow.
Credits: IN THE README
Percentage: F***ED IF I KNOW!
Anything else?: We wasted 3 whole weeks!
So here's how the hud works:
Hold select to freeze samus' motion and animation, then pressing right will cycle through weapons. When morphed, the weapons are different. To switch visors hold item cancel. uh, that's it.
[spoiler]THANKS TO VISMUND FOR ACTUALLY DOING HIS WORK AND PUTTING UP WITH MY SHIT[/spoiler]

KNOWN BUGS:
[spoiler]
Some of the rooms aren't aligned on the map properly
Some items might not work
The secret room breaks things. Don't go there
There's a permastuck. Where the giant row of grapple blocks is, don't move to the side
[/spoiler]
There'll be an update on this eventually, just as soon as Quote and I stop hating each other.

[Vismund Cygnus]

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted this to be separate.
(Also it wouldn't be a contest if not for patches within 24 hours of the first submission!)
[spoiler=An Explanation.]I've made a 1.1 version of the patch. It fixes all of the bugs that I know of to the best of my ability.
Technically I don't think this version should be judged, because it's past the submission deadline, plus the bugs I fixed are ones I wouldn't have known about had I not been told they existed (Thanks Scyzer  :lol:). However I guess that it will be up to everyone else to decide whether or not that's the case.[/spoiler]
Anyway, turns out the item percentage is like, 25%. Enjoy this version more than the other one.

EDIT: Oh look, Quote fixed a thing. Isn't that nice.
So ya, saving works now, including achievements and the enemy door. So although it's still pretty unfinished, as we were finishing it at the last second, it should be stable now.
And I didn't put the save room back in, cause I don't really think difficulty is an issue here. However you can save at your ship if you feel so inclined, and your progress will be safe.
