I got 17 entries which is amazing for the first go. I will have the entries online either later tonight or tomorrow for everyone to check out.

The next challenge is slotted to start next Sunday (November 8th) and the theme/rule for that challenge will be revealed at that time. For now I’ll give a slight hint that the theme/rule is more of an artistic nature than technical. ;-)

You cannot use triggers, thumbsticks, or other analog input. A directional pad can be used, but each direction counts as one button. You can use these buttons in combination, context, or any other mechanism in your game; the only requirement is that only two physical binary inputs are utilized in the game.

Challenge Time: October 25, 2009 – November  1st, 2009 (Entries due by 12:00 PST GMT-8 on November 2nd, 2009).
