edited January 2014 in Announce Your Game!
This thread will remain open until Friday, 1/31. At that time, I'll close the thread to new submissions and the GameSalad team will select a winner.

We'll contact the winner via email and ask you a couple of questions to build a blog entry that will showcase your game.

We will feature the Game of the Month in dedicated Facebook, Twitter, and GameSalad.com blog posts, as well as being featured in the Monthly Newsletter and the GameSalad Featured Games Gallery.

-= The Ground Rules =-

Submissions:

* Your game must be complete and published! (We have to be able to play it to know if it is worthy of winning!)
* Just to be clear, this is not a post to simply "announce" an upcoming game.
* Games must be posted within the sticky thread in order for it to be considered
* You can submit a previously submitted game if it has not already won (but let's try to keep this to games developed within the last six months)
* Games with a YouTube trailer will receive the best consideration.

Contacting the Winner:

* In order to be featured, winners will have one week to submit answers to a questionnaire (for us to compile a featured blog post).
* We'll also ask you to submit your winning game via the Featured Games form so we can get it added to the gallery.

    I remember reading about a Game of the Year -- is that still happening?

    @Braydon_SFX, would still really love to do that, and plan to. Just EXTREMELY busy. We'll get it done, though.

    ***SHOOTING FOOD***

    It's a fun quick game to play. Press and drag your finger for machine gun fire or tap the screen for a single shot. How easy is that?

    Machine gun the fruit and veggies flying through the air and stacked on the shelves splattering them all over the walls in the supermarket while avoiding the bombs. Three play modes.

    -Machine Gunner - Machine gun food on shelves and flying past, a challenging multi level game
    -Gunslinger - Shoot the food as it pops up around the scene, you’ll need to be quick on the draw
    -Shooter - Shoot the food as it flies past, how high can you score?

    A great fun game to play. You can see your five highest scores for each game type and post the highest ones on Game Center or Game Circle.

    In stores now for 0.99c

    Some amazing looking apps so far!

    We would like to enter JET POINT into the mix since we was encouraged to re-enter after receiving an honourable mention back in July. Although I felt it best to wait till we had done a more significant update which now provides players with a totally new control option :D

    We are working on an updated trailer to show off some of the more recent changes and features such as the dynamic background, graphical additions, new icon and of course the new control option seen here in this test vid...



    Gain access to the mysterious Humonix Coporation's testing network and take part in a series of dangerous experiments designed to put your reactions to the test.

    Take control of the corporation's genetically engineered test clones and with the latest V-matter rocket packs strapped to their backs help them avoid the many dangers programmed to destroy them.

    Robot weapons are powered by the reactor cores located throughout each level. Think fast and turn your enemy into your ally by steering heat seeking projectiles into the path of the reactors making for an impressive fireworks display. Find and destroy them all to allow your clones safe passage to the next test.

    There is a reason why dinosaurs and mankind were separated by millions of years. We are mere ants in the eyes of these creatures. So when the two time periods clash you will be running for your dear life.
    Keep up with the tempo, avoid the traps and grab the power-ups, with some luck you might just stand a chance against the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex. Perhaps you are one of the few capable of outrunning the creature.

    Highlights:
    • Simplistic game mechanics
    • Intuitive, easy to pick up
    • Endless & intense
    • Dynamic music, adapts to your playing
    • Numerous power-ups
    • Global leaderboards & rewards
