Does it bother anyone else that to play one of the winner games ("Hotfix"), you have to download and install this "Unity Web Player" plugin? I also want to note that none of the other main winners had that.
Downloading a plugin to play seems counter to what HTML5 web games are trying to do?
It’s not about HTML5, it just needs to be playable in a browser:
> All entries must be web-based, i.e. playable in a browser. HTML5, WebGL, Unity, Torque 3D, Node JS, Flash are all possible - just be sure the source is made available on your fork.
Also the obvious security problems with installing more code surface into your browser. I'd much prefer a download to the game than a 'web player', thanks. Once I've installed the web player, any flaw in unity is now a flaw in my browser. Flash and Java applets are bad enough, please don't start a new terror.
I really wish I had another week to flesh out my game. I spent a bunch of time developing the platform but didn't quite get enough game mechanics in there.
I had fun messing around with your game! I'm not sure if I was playing against a person or bot (I'd like to think it was a person because I won.)
I really liked the terrain you generated; I think it would be really cool if you could implement randomly generated tunnels through the hills. That way, you could use the hills as 'natural' walls instead of the large blocks in the center of the arena.

My game was octoshot, a 3d FPS: http://octoshot.jlongster.com/
I'm currently rebuilding it with missles and other types of guns, and actual levels.

Would it be possible to see the source?
Cool work!
