Well, here are the results of the Halloween contest. Sorry about the record-breaking amount of time it took. It just so happened that I was very busy, and Berp just suddenly decided to quit just a few days ago. As such, the minigames were graded by only me.
As for the delay, it's the first time it's been so bad, and hopefully it'll be the last too. To compensate, the rep rewards have increased slightly, and I'll be rewarding all contestants with some rep.

Kaboo - Ghosts Day
Purification - Halloween Chase
Accname - Halloween Rider
Wiseman 2 - Night of the living Impaired
OneBadPsycho - Pumpkin Paths
WastedSavior - Shadow Temple
- Gameplay - 8/40
- It's pretty boring, there's not much action involved. Just kill some units.
- The units are ridiculously strong. You'd need like 200 players to win.
- The difficulty could've been alterated based on the number of players.
- At midnight (when the game was supposed to end), I got the message "THREE HOURS REMAINING".
- I didn't quite feel the midnight evil.
- The few seconds that passed were quite intense.
- Eye Candy - 7/20
- Doesn't look particularly great
- Flat terrain, 3 tiles (including blight), spammed doodads.
- The loading screen is simple, yet nice.
- Theme - 15/20
- It's somewhat 'halloweenish'. Though perhaps it's more 'undead' themed, than 'halloween' themed.
- This is a minigame
- Other - 15/20
- The secret item is an interesting addition, though it seems to be the only way of winning.
- A few grammar errors here and there.
- Total: 45/100
Purification - Halloween Chase
- Gameplay - 28/40
- Spells are awesome (though mostly not made by you. )
- Divine shield is target cast.
- Abom should have some basic AI.
- Spell End Cast events are abusable; the abilities are never removed if you move as you case.
- divine shield heals too, rendering the games endless with it never being removed.
- Overall though, I like the basic, arena type idea.
- Spells are awesome (though mostly not made by you.
- Eye Candy- 7/20
- The terrain is rubbish.
- Spammed effects
- Some spells look good.
- Theme - 15/20
- It's certainly a minigame.
- It's somewhat halloween themed, though seems more of undead themed.
- Other - 12/20
- Some sounds, events, dialog, etc to make the game more interesting would be nice.
- Total: 62/100
Accname - Halloween Rider
- Gameplay - 22/40
- I seemingly randomly lost 750 HP, all my mana, and restarted in the start area (as the rider)
- The starting area is completely blocked off, so if I have no mana, or no way of getting mana, I'm trapped.
- The Halloween rider should be a hero.
- Some Zombies just stood around and did nothing. Though the zombie AI is pretty cool in general.
- The win conditions didn't work (33 zombies AND kill all human heroes)
- Despite all the bugs, the gameplay isn't too shabby.
- Eye Candy- 20/20
- The terrain is amazing
- This, in general, looks very neat.
- Theme - 7/20
- This is not a minigame, but more of a full map (This would probably do considerably better in a different contest. ).
- It fits the halloween theme quite well.
- This is not a minigame, but more of a full map (This would probably do considerably better in a different contest.
- Other - 9/20
- It took us 3 attempts to get it working.
- There are many grammar errors
- The cinematic is nice, and certainly sets the scene.
- Total: 58/100
Wiseman 2 - Night of the living Impaired
- Gameplay - 20/40
- It get's interesting once the abilities are learned, and ocne the zombies could kill you if you screw up
- But before that it's boring, and it becomes repetitive.
- Eye Candy- 8/20
- The terrain is awfully boring.
- Theme - 10/20
- This seems like either a very big minigame, or a small map. It's difficult to judge.
- It fits the halloween theme quite well (though it too, strays towards undead).
- This seems like either a very big minigame, or a small map. It's difficult to judge.

- Some other events, sounds, etc would be nice.
- Total: 50/100
OneBadPsycho - Pumpkin Paths
- Gameplay - 37/40
- It's fun, I certainly enjoyed playing the map
- Those combos can really be racked up by simply using blink continuosly, especially once blink is level 3.
- Eye Candy- 15/20
- The terrain is nice.
- It's generally neat and well made.
- Theme - 18/20
- It certainly fits the halloween theme
- It's a somewhat large minigame, but a minigame nonetheless.
- Other - 9/20
- More spells would be nice.
- I kept killing Berps kid before he chose a costume.
- Total: 79/100
WastedSavior - Shadow Temple
- Gameplay - 35/40
- The idea is good, and original.
- The leaderboard score seemed to go up regardless of who scored, and the wrong person won sometimes.
- Eye Candy- 17/20
- The torch effect looks great
- The terrain and visuals aren't bad
- Theme - 20/20
- Halloween themed, and certainly a minigame.
- Other - 9/20
- Torches should probably spawn randomly, as I knew where they all were and the best way to get many after a few games
- Total: 81/100
Closing Notes
It was very close between 1st and 2nd places; I had to review the grades numerous times, and it simply came down to which one I preferred rather than based on grades.
I'd like to once again apologize for the delay. Also, remember to congratulate and rep all those who participated, especially the winners.
