Developer: MrSoundless
Download: SunDefender.rar

The sun is being attacked by a swarm of xbox360 controller buttons and you have to try to keep the sun alive for as long as possible. Everytime you let a button-group pass the bottom of your screen, the sun loses 1 energy point.

Notice: it can only be played with an xbox360 controller plugged in your pc.

Developer: MrSoundless
Download: SwarmEscape.zip

arrows = move

space = shrink swarm.

If you hit a wall, half of your ants die and if you have less then 3 ants the game ends for you. You have to try to reach the finishline with as much ants as possible and as fast as possible.

Plastic Zombies Panic!

Developer: Sigil
Download: PlasticZombiePanic.zip

Convert all the plastic citizens to plastic zombies as quickly as possible!  Move near them and hit <Space> or the <A> button to radiate the citizens and convert them.  After they’re converted, they’re contagious and will hunt other citizens, but feel free to convert more civilians yourself if they’re not moving fast enough.  The faster you convert them, the higher your score!

Instructions:
Move with arrow keys, WASD, or the left thumbstick on the gamepad
Move the camera with [] keys, the mouse with the right mouse button held down, or the right thumbstick.
Irradiate citizens with the space bar or the A button on the gamepad.

I tried to use the post later feature on Wordpress since I was not at home but seems that it didn’t work.

Since on Challenge 5 no one made an entry and I received a couple emails asking this week’s theme is Swarms once again.

Theme/Rules: The gameplay/theme should be around swarms, check the Wikipedia link and I’m positive you will have some immediate inspiration.

Challenge Time: March 20, 2010 – March 27, 2010 (Entries due by 23:59pm (UTC-0) on March 27, 2010).

Which I agree since I’m trying to do something to compete as well. So in order to respect everyone’s projects I’m putting a hold on the challenges until DPB deadline. Also because having challenges week after week with no one having the time is not what this is about. A challenge is then scheduled to March 6.

This date can be moved by popular demand of course. Any questions please contact me to contact@xna7day.com
