I have a feeling that boombats are replacing regular bats. It makes things more interesting I'll give it that. I submitted a few names too I like how they do these contests.

[MeechCrunchies]

I posted under the name KeyLimePie.

Any thoughts on mine? Just looking for a little constructive criticism

[Job McYossie]

I can't help myself. Sent in mine.

MC, you do know they want you to email your inputs, not post it in the comments, right? Personally, I think your suggestions are nice, but a little too not oddworld related.

[MeechCrunchies]

Yeah, I emailed them, but I still left it in the form of a comment too.

Please send me prize codes that work on the PS1 and PSP.

Love, Nathan



You might want to tighten up those terms and conditions.

I expect they'll be standing in for flying bombs in some of the more exotic areas.

I actually remember you! You were doing these fast things

[Job McYossie]

Most of mine were mediocre. Though I do agree with Vyrin on "Get me outta here!" that seems like nothing too special, but just right.

The one entry I liked the most though, was for the beat dev time.
