GOTM November 2009!
News posted 6th January, 2010 by Jon Lambert
Ooh, um... looks like we're a tad late on this GOTM, and it looks like it was a close battle! With only three points between it and second place, Ladders 2 by Ricky is the winner of November's GOTM! Ricky will be receiving 2500 points and a nice new golden trophy! In close second place was 3kliksphilip and his entry for GameBuilder's Halloween competition, The Bat Sweeper! A silver trophy and 1000 points for him! In third place, we have Miner 2049er Again by danjo! A bronze trophy and 500 DC points for danjo! Prepare you three for your incoming prizes, and for the rest of you, prepare for December's GOTM coming soon, and how about you get to work on your own masterpieces as well! See if you can't win!

I mean absolutely no disrespect, but Ladders 2 appears to be a pretty generic platformer for all intents and purposes, and it's sad to see a game like The Bat Sweeper, which attempts to add a new and interesting mechanic to a tired old formula, lose to something that appears to be nothing more than every platforming cliche ever conceived crammed into one game. Even the boss fight in the video was a direct rip-off of the final encounter with Bowser in Mario 3.

Feel free to ignore my opinion, though. I haven't actually played Ladders 2 so my opinion of it is based solely on the video on the download page. This might be a bad move on my part.

Still, congratulations to all, and I must stress that it is not my intention to insult the winner. Nice work, guys.

I will, and I just noticed the level editor screenshot, which definitely earns you bonus points. I'll download it and tell you what I think, with any luck you'll make me regret opening my mouth before I tried the goods.

I think 3kliksphilip was robbed of the number 1 spot on this occasion, although Ladders 2 was technically superior i think that the Bat Sweeper was the most fun to play and it was just so diffrent from the generic platformer. I'm not saying that Ladders 2 was a bad game on the contary i felt that Ladders 1 was massively under rated! Its always atough call when 2 really good games go head to head!

I am hoping for the new edition of Spacebar to have a go at the next gotm.
After releasing it for free, i also spent my holiday updating it with an interesting upgrade tree using collectible gems, and i added some new music!
