Whiterabbit and I are doing a indy game giveaway. It will run for approximately 5 days. There will be 3 games given away every day. Entering is simple. All you have to do is answer the question associated to the game you want to enter for, and the first 10 people to get the answer right are entered into a draw for that game. You can enter for any or all of the games, but you cannot win more than 1 game. At the end of the day, a draw will take place for the games. You will receive a PM with the serial number and/or download links if you win.

Answer the questions either on this thread or by PM'ing me (if I posted the day's question) or Whiterabbit (if he posted the day's question).

So let's get started.

For Saturday, March 20:
1. Crayon Physics Deluxe: What limitation did the original Crayon Physics have?
2. Crazy Machines II+: Who is one of the sponsors of the game (in other words, what company's exclusive contents appear in the game)?
3. Lugaru: What is Wolfire's latest game called?

Answering deadline is UTC 04:30 (8:30 PM Mountain Time).

That's really nice of you but would it be possible to give a brief description of each game?

Alright, descriptions.

Crayon Physics Deluxe is a 2D physics puzzle / sandbox game, in which you get to experience what it would be like if your drawings would be magically transformed into real physical objects. Solve puzzles with your artistic vision and creative use of physics. http://www.crayonphysics.com/

Crazy Machines 2 takes you on an incredible world tour and put your skills to the test with challenging puzzles from around the globe. But that’s not all: the game is exploding with new elements to play with, allowing you to create even more complex and astounding gadgets and machines. A reworked physics engine allows for seriously realistic and in-depth gameplay. http://www.crazymachinesgame.com/index.php

Lugaru is a cross-platform 3D fighting game by Wolfire Games. Lugaru's main features are its ragdoll physics, deep combat system, smooth gameplay and framerate, and environmental interaction. http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru

Congratulations to Terri218, who won the copy of Lugaru. There are no other winners because no entries for the other games were received.

Answers to today's questions:
1. You can only draw box-like objects. Anything that is not like a box gets converted to a box.
2. nVidia. CMII+ uses nVidia's "The Way It's Meant to be Played" optimization, and PhysX. nVidia have added two PhysX Lab Packs, exclusive to CMII+.
3. Overgrowth. It's Wolfire's latest game, and they're just about done it. They are looking for orchestra members for Overgrowth's soundtrack.

One unwon game from today will be carried over to tomorrow's giveaway.

I'll be contributing later in the week. Not 100% at the moment.

The whole idea was GMMans, He asked for my opinion and I though it was good. I've since offered to add some games to the pot. hopefully community members will find themselves that much more enriched by the giveaway experience. Thank you for the great idea GMMan.

Giveaways for Sunday, March 21:

(Rerun) Crayon Physics Deluxe: Crayon Physics Deluxe is a 2D physics puzzle / sandbox game, in which you get to experience what it would be like if your drawings would be magically transformed into real physical objects. Solve puzzles with your artistic vision and creative use of physics. http://www.crayonphysics.com/

I already have all these GREAT Games. If you like physics games, Crayon Physics Deluxe and World of Goo are some of the best. And Immortal Defense is a great tower defense game. I got that one when Paul(the maker) did his experiment like World of Goo and offered his game for what ever you felt like paying. I gave him over 20 so I could get him newest creation Saturated Dreamers. His art work is very impressive.

EDIT: Forgot to say. This is a great thing you guys are doing. Thanks!

Enjoy PPL.

World of Goo and CXrayon Physics are brilliant Indie games; trying to compare these games with the games that are being released by distributor.developers like real Arcade and Gamehouse is like comparing the Mona Liza to the scribbles of a baby, lol.

Original concept games with great game play. :)

I will be posting some games later in the week. Still not 100% and don't feel like sorting anything out at the moment. (Some of the games I will be contributing are World of Goo, Gish and Barrel Mania) I have to think up some questions yet. :)

As per suggestion by Whiterabbit, the giveaway will now be once every two days. So look for some new games tomorrow. (It's somewhat hard for me to run the giveaway from school, and I still need to collect together all of my games, just so everyone knows.)

Sorry, it's really inconvenient for me to do the giveaway right now (and to be honest, I'm running out of indy games, so you may see some less-indy games). I'm hoping to resume Monday, though.

Not a criticism, just asking! Thanks in advance.
