Hey everyone!

Time for the next Game of the Month contest! We are super excited to see this month's entries and are ready for being impressed; we're always amazed at the fantastic games and applications our community creates!

The panelists for this month are @Braydon_SFX, @Lost_Oasis_Games, @pHghost, @ForumNinja and @dgackey.

We will be rotating panelists each month, so if you're interested in judging, please contact @ForumNinja.

The new revised rules for the GotM are below, there are some important changes (I've bolded some of the most critical), so make sure you read them thoroughly! Good luck to everyone!

Reminders about how the Game of the Month contest works:

Submissions are open for the first 15 days of every month that the contest is held, and will close around 10 p.m. Pacific Time Zone. Make sure you get your submission in before then!

This mid-month closure allows us to play all of the submissions, evaluate and post the winner and blog post by the beginning of the following month, just as the next contest gets opened for submissions. We will announce a shortlist of 5 games roughly one week after submissions close to keep the tension high. After making the final decision, we will contact the winner via email shortly after the thread is closed. Each winner will be asked to complete a Developer Questionnaire and we will use this information to create a blog post that promotes your awesomeness! Additionally, we will feature the Game of the Month in dedicated Forum, Facebook, Twitter, and GameSalad.com blog posts!

The panel may also award honorable mentions to games other than the winner. These can be awarded for beautiful graphics, superb gameplay, an innovative concept etc. Not all categories of honorable mentions have to be awarded every month -- this will be entirely up to the panel to decide, and the game to be awarded an honorable mention need not be selected from the shortlist only. The purpose of the honorable mentions will be to draw attention to exceptional apps, even if they might not be perfect in every single way (and thus not cut to be the GotM winner).

If all that wasn't enough, the GameSalad Team has generously offered to provide a $25 Amazon gift card or free month of Pro to the winner!

Submission Rules:

  1. Your game must be complete and published to the AppStore or GameSalad Arcade! (We have to be able to play it to know if it is worthy of winning!)
  2. Just to be clear, this is not a post to simply "announce" an upcoming game.
  3. Please limit your entries to 1 app per person.
  4. Apps must be posted within this sticky thread in order for it to be considered for GotM.
  5. You can resubmit your app if you submitted it last month and it got shortlisted, but this can only be done once; you cannot submit it three months in a row. (You can also resubmit an app that's been entered in more than one GotM so long as it has had a significant update. The panel will decide whether the changes are substantial enough, and will disqualify and delete entries that have just had a minor tweak to get around this rule.)
  6. If possible, please include a Youtube gameplay/trailer video that shows the awesomeness of your game!
  7. If your submission is a paid app, we ask that you send a promo code to each of the panelists listed above.
  8. Although we are aware that there are hundreds of awesome games out there, we prefer that the game you submit was published in the last 6 months.

Contacting the Winner:

In order to be featured, winners will have one week to submit answers to a questionnaire (for us to create a sweet blog post about you).

We're eagerly looking forward to playing all of the submissions this month - it's so much fun!
Best of luck!

Braydon

    A mate and I made this completely via Slack since we live in Amsterdam and Stockholm, it's ridiculous, but it's fun. A takeaway from our usual mundane work. If it gets a laugh, then my job is done.

    Asstronaut
    Farting is more than just a game. But in this case, that’s all it is.
    Help Farting Frank, Lady Kaka and all their friends while they are farting endlessly upwards for no real reason.

    An infinite flyer style game where you must dodge spinning razor wheels, propel yourself past pumping pistons and fart, fart higher, higher than you’ve ever farted before.

    Hey guys! This is my 1st game of the month entry and I don't even know what we win but it sounds like fun so here's my game with and official description and our story :)

    iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/monster-rain/id1020821132?mt=8

    Monster Rain is a brand new indie game that just hit the iTunes app store. You can download it for free, without any adds or banners.
    It is brought to you by Moon House Games, a 3-person team based in Montreal.

    The story:
    While its creators were already working in the gaming industry, they had absolutely no programming knowledge or coding skills. Determined to bring their vision to life, they combined their efforts and went on to create a truly original game that relies on fresh mechanics and straight up fun gameplay.
    After roughly designing the original idea, the goal was to hire a programmer to code and build the game. Having no prior experience with making games from scratch, co-creator Sebastien Menard decided to give it a try to see what he could manage by himself. After numerous attempts, countless tutorials and a great deal of insomnia, he ultimately discovered that he could actually program the game by himself.

    The game:
    It's your house. It's pretty and you like it! So when monsters start attacking it from the sky, you have to fight back before it's too late. Ninja stars are undoubtedly the weapon of choice...
    Using your finger to swipe a coloured ninja star at the matching enemy before he crashes on the house is a unique and challenging concept. It's incredibly fun to slash those aliens, and protecting your house from destruction feels so good!
    Monster Rain aims to be a simple and colorful adventure that the casual gamer will enjoy just as much as the most experienced players. The survival mode offers a quick fix for your daily commute while the quest mode gradually takes you to more challenging levels, and ultimately to a final confrontation of epic proportions!

    Yes! However, since we're already a few days into November and hadn't had a chance to select new panelists, we are going to keep the members the same this month unless others step forward shortly.

    I will like to nominate my new game BOOGER BOING!
    Help the little booger travel through fantastic worlds by stretching it and making it jump, just like slingshot. You must calculate its ballistic trajectory, timing, etc. in order to avoid falling or crashing into enemies.
    It has a nice replayability, earning stars for completing different tasks on each level (finish the level with the least number of jumps, collecting all the jewels, and discovering the hiding booger friend). Earn all the stars you can in order to unlock new worlds. There are coins to be collected in each level too, that can be used to revive the player when all his lives are finished, in order to continue the level in his last position.

    Hope you like it!

    Apple App store

    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/booger-boing/id1010520318?ls=1&mt=8

    Play Store

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chechesoft.boogerboing





    There is a yucky and wonderful world inside your nose, is up to you to explore it! Use your finger to stretch and sling our heroic little booger. Calculate the strength and angle of each shot in order to jump, bounce, stick and splat through challenging and exiting levels collecting coins and treasures while avoiding pitfalls and vicious nasal residents! Who knew nose picking was so fun?
    With wonderful graphics, awesome gameplay, and excellent music, Booger Boing assures hours of disgusting fun!

    -Stunning artwork and music
    -Engaging ballistic gameplay, a original take of the slingshot mechanics
    -Easy to learn, hard to master, earn stars by making the least jumps to finish the levels
    -Many levels assure you hours of gameplay, more levels to come!
