I like the simple design & color themes, but I'm not entirely sure what the utility here is over communicating over twitter. However I can see this being useful if it automatically hooked into monitoring services because then it becomes a more useful 3rd-party status dashboard (as opposed to having to send out manual updates).
Really nice game, although I was confused about the rules at first (i.e. if I'm one particular color why do some of my clicked tiles show up as a different color)?
Also I beat a game and it took a long time to recognize that fact (although maybe that's just a performance issue).

contestantThank!! Each cell on the gameboard is "blank" meaning it needs to be set to the color you where assigned to. This is done by clicking your way through the different colors. If you just clicked to set your colors the game would have been to easy.
This is a great idea, but I worry about the subjectiveness of Gary's analysis methods.
For example, analyzing popular frameworks seems to pretty much kill Gary. :(
Also I noticed my private repos were there. I'm going to assume that's just the OAuth talking and you guys aren't doing anything sketchy with private repos ;)

Well, I'd use this! What a great way to consume Reddit lulz without clicking around!
It would've been cool if clicking "next page" would've done a live sync instead of a full page refresh.
Great design (brings back fond memories)!
Unfortunately the game didn't work well for me (I used an incog window to try to battle myself and I couldn't see the other tank in the original window).

contestantThank you for the vote,
The game is incomplete but we will finish it later
As a contestant who wrote another poetry-related app (including haikus) maybe I'm a bit biased. But you did a great job! One of our original ideas was to use photos and required words for poetry writing too.
Neat idea! I wasn't sure how to see my final animation though.

contestantJust put up a (slightly) more instructional video. Let me know if you still have any questions.
Pretty solid tetris game although the gutters on the sides were a bit confusing since they're white-on-white. It'd be cool to quick-drop bricks like regular Tetris.

contestantThank you for the feedback and trying the game! You're awesome!
Neat concept, but gameplay seemed a bit buggy, as the jumping physics didn't make a lot of sense and sometimes it seems like I shot backwards or in random directions. I like the retro design!

contestantThanks for checking us out! There are indeed some kinks in the gameplay. Jumping can be strange if you land on an asteroid askew. As for firing, your shot should come out where the needle is pointing on your angle meter.
Neat! Sometimes when I click around me to dig, the grass boxes reappear (but only sometimes). I'm not sure if that's by design but it makes it look like my dig-click didn't work.
I like the jetpack physics though!

contestantThats a light effect applied on the most superficial blocks. We didn't had much time to work on it though! :P
ricardobeat
contestant@aashay if you click on an empty space you drop a new block, that will happen if you click twice (the server is being a bit slow to respond)
aashay
contestantAh, that makes sense. Yeah everyone's having latency issues w/ nodejitsu I guess but that's just the NKO effect!
Internal server error when logging in with Twitter. :\
I'll give you a few stars for innovation based on the concept though, sounds cool!

contestantDidn't get to test on Nodejitsu in time :-( Thanks for the stars!
Smooth animations, pretty fun. I'm so bad at crosswords. :(
This is pretty neat! I really like the theming going on here (lol @ "ps aux" to visit the game list). It's a pretty clever spin on an admittedly boring game (I like how you guys say that right off the bat too).
