If you are in, I help you with translation to Russian.

BTW I saw the loading screen from the game you are going to submit, high hype approaching! :D

Oh well, I almost forgot about it. And sorry, I won't be submitting anything myself this time. I'll have something yet this year but
not for this compo.

But 15 games? It sounds really splendid. And in previous years some Russian compos ended with entries of really high quality.

Now you gave me a reason to wait impatiently for 5th December :)

There is no any preview according to rules :)
I made a geme in a 6 days so it's not big and not polished, but plays nice and i like it. Actually it's my first Nirvana+ game with almost full screen multicolor )

I've only had time to briefly try a few of the releases so far but I'm blown away already. The presentation of Drift! is mind-boggling, reminds me of something from the 32-bit console era. Gameplay seemed fun too. Yazzie by Denis is one I'll definitely play through to the end, looked good, felt and played great. So many quality releases, great compo!

I too am a bit disappointed by this, I've just spent a few hours playing them all to varying lengths and I would have liked to participate in the voting. I do understand their likely reasons ie. preventing ballot stuffing, etc..

I've been playing Valley of Rains. Beautiful graphics, tight controls and really fun! Reminds me of Savage but much better. I've made it to level 6, anyone know how many there are?

Just completed it! :D Took a fair few tries though (an auto-fire poke would've been nice). There are 8 levels. Had 3 lives left and a score of 3782 when I reached the end. Time can be really tight if you don't get a time-refill drop. Really awesome game!
