Toadsanime's Innovation Contest!

People regularly make their own contests here, and although they don't get many entries or I regularly support such contests. Despite the main GameJolt contest currently taking place, as I don't make games I feel as if I never contribute to our adoring community. Instead, I'll just make occasional contests because they're fun.

I'll announce a winner and judging is done by me. It's not really done on any particular means, so long as the game is relevant and I like it. There will be a few prizes, check the list below.

Anyone willing to give extra prizes would be greatly appreciated, i.e offering for the winning game to be featured in their blog/reviewed. It'd be nice to have a little list of small prizes for the winner to receive, eh? Or you could just mention this contest somewhere. ;)

Also, I'd prefer if the game was made specifically for this contest, and it'd be cool if it said in the opening 'made for Toadsanime's Innovation Contest'.
Though you won't get any extra credit, mention of a toad called Toadsanime in it will make me love you deeply and profoundly.

Okay, so the theme is innovation and you have until February 14th - it must be posted here some time on that day or before to be considered. Upload your entry to GameJolt and post the link. The theme can be taken in any way you wish - whether the game be innovative, the graphics be innovative, or whatever really. Twist it as far as you want, but declare how it's relevant here.

Prizes:
Every game gets mentioned on Toadsanime's journal: www.toadsanime.deviantart.com.
Winner gets mentioned on a www.youtube.com/colabgames video.
Winner gets reviewed on Zack's site,  www.groundzerogames.com

Post entries, thoughts or offers for prizes here!

Nice idea Toad, and I'm glad you provided enough time for developers to have the chance to enter this contest along with the rogue contest.

Hope some interesting games come of this.

I probably won't be able to enter, but I'd review the winner on my website: groundzerogamez.com. It gets about 20-50 hits a day. Great theme by the way.

Whats a innovation

Thats really cool toads :) I will see if I can enter it :)

@Knite - Thanks Knite, and yeah I was trying to leave enough time so nobody had to worry about that. This is only a small competition in comparison to that, but hopefully we get some nice entries.

@Zack - Awesome, thanks Zack, I'll add it to the list.

@Madmaker123 - Sorry, should have defined it. Innovation is, as defined by Wiki, a new way of doing something or "new stuff that is made useful".
As in, make a game where it has a new, unique gameplay element, or different graphics from most games. However, this can be taken in any way you want and you can twist it as far as you like, so long as you explain how it's relevant.

@Amidos - Thanks, and awesome, I hope so too. ;)

Madmaker- I think nintendo defines innovation as this: anything that has been done before, but moved to a new platform to make it seem real. Innovation also does not affect the gameplay itself.

Example- Our new arm waving wii remote is innovatious! (yeah, right..)

ok, sounds good!

An innovation is an expansion to an exisiting idea/technology.

There can clearly be multiple definitions of innovation, but innovatioh can be gameplay or otherwise.

Probably not the best time for this contest to exist as we seem to be full of contests at the moment. Sorry!
Well, you have until mid-February anyway, so pfft. I may extend the deadline if anyone requests for me to do so because of prior commitments to other contests.

Oh, and also, sorry for the BUMP, but I feel this needed a bump; being the OP I suppose I would.

This sounds... Interesting.

I think ill enter, although we dont have much time.

Innavation... Hard to come up with ideas

At the time when I made this it was a month, however I'll be lineant on time. If anyone wants me to extend the deadline just ask and I'll extend it by a week or two.

Thanks for entering if you do. ;)

maybe, maybe.

Thanks NessXX, hopefully you can if you have enough time. If not, I can extend the deadline by a little.
