#1 GreenBoy
I love how the guy in the background is cheering on the other two hi-fiving.

#2 Mad
I can hear the hydraulics, mechanized noises, and Mr. T by just glancing at that.

#3 ProgZmax


  Pound-per-pixel, this might be the best graphic contest I've seen on here.  Everything looks awesome.

#1 ProgZmax-

The pixel technique here is exquisite. Plus this sprite seems to have a life of it's own.

#2 Loominous-

- Beautiful pallette and an original design. Very cool.

#3 DerrickFreeland

- Reminds me of Dark Seed, which is a good thing. Another awesome sprite.


Tough to choose, really a great round!

What's up with the competitions lately? Everything looks great, it's really hard to choose. Well done, guys!
But especially, these guys:

#3 - loominous - for taking inherently nasty concept(two-headed creatures) and making it cute.

#2 - Pinback - for great character design.

#1 ProgZmax- for impeccable, pixel-perfect sprite. The 1st and 3rd heads even look like Jones and Palin. Wow.

[Derrick Freeland]

1- ProgZmax
2- Pinback
3- Mad

OK, probably everyone who was going to vote has voted, but just in case I'll leave it a few more hours.  (loominous was probably right about this being too long a voting period, though... next time, if there is a next time, I'll know better.)  So, later tonight... trophies!

[Sughly]

You make me feel guilty for not voting alun, but I can't choose between them  :'(

[Alun]

Whoops!  OK, left a longer time to vote than I'd intended, I guess... had a commitment yesterday that went far later than I expected.  Anyway, I guess it's time to tally the votes.

Oh, but first... uh, I said I'd cast a vote myself, and I still haven't done so.  Frankly, I agree with Sughly... there are so many good entries it's really hard to rank them and choose a top three.  I'm kind of tempted not to vote and just to add the votes of those who have.  But I said I'd vote, so I guess if I have to choose, I'll go with...

#1 - ProgZMax
#2 - Pinback
#3 - derrickfreeland

But again, it's very close; they were all good entries.  (And while they're all rather large, they're not so large that they couldn't work as in-game sprites... I could see all of these animated and appearing in a game.)

OK, now to tally the votes:

All right, in seventh place, the Wooden Hydra Trophy goes to Culun_dog, for his cute little turtle that may have trouble deciding which way to do...

In sixth place, the EGA Hydra Trophy goes to derrickfreeland, for his ominous two-headed raven...

In fifth place, the Bone Hydra Trophy goes to GreenBoy, for his triple-torsoed terror...

In fourth place, the Jade Hydra Trophy goes to loominous, for his adorable stripy aquatic creature...

In third place, the Bronze Hydra Trophy goes to Mad, for his portrayal of... the A-Borg, shall we say?...

In second place, the Silver Hydra Trophy goes to Pinback, for his interesting two-headed robot...

And finally, the Golden Hydra Trophy goes to ProgZMax, for his superbly done three-headed Giant Knight!

Here are the trophies, in descending order from Golden to Wooden... sorry if they may not look quite as nice as some trophies from other jams in the past; pixel art's not really my forte, but I did my best:



Congratulations to ProgZMax... and to all other entrants for creating so many great sprites!

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

Thanks!  I'll get a new theme started shortly.
