    Results - tadaa!

    Here are the results! Judging this contest was again really hard, but some order had to be made, so here it is:

    1. Eric Gustafsson from Sweden (octopus, sea star and electric eel) - three new interactive objects that look really nice should make the Water World a fun place to be! ;)
    2. MidianGTX, Water World background. We really like those shadows, and if you darken the other animals as well it should work well as a background in Water World. Little more polish, pleaaase (when you have time)! ;)
    3. Klaus Vogel from Germany (pufferfish and propeller) - another two new items (if we make propeller do cut damage) that make the Water World more exciting!

    And because some of you have been trying so hard, you also get one t-shirt!

    zlibd (really great art, but unfortunately once again other guys submitted objects with new functionality)
    nodoctors (thanks for the ideas!!! and that rainbow background is... breath taking!) ;)

    Please email me your t-shirt size (S, M, L, XL), your name and your address, and if you are from the USA, tell it to me, I don't know these international addresses. ;) ville.helin at gmail.com.

    Thanks for the contest, folks! I hope you had fun, too! See you in the third contest later. XD

    I had several as a kid. You threw them against the wall and they'd slowly roll their way down. My favorites were the ones that glew in the dark. Not that we used them much in the dark. :rolleyes: I seem to recall the red ones being the most common.

    Of course their stickyness would eventually wear off as they accumulated fuzz & dirt. :(

    More recently I found some glow-in-the-dark sticky eyeballs that are almost as fun. :D

    Two more takes on the background:

    I found that making the seahorses lighter also helped to blend them in with the background more, so I could do that as well, up to you.

    It's not a contest without a loser. You can't always win you know.. Besides, if another image looked better, isn't it good that it made it? Don't you want the game to look it's best?

    ttursas: can I give you my info on irc? :D or would you prefer email?
