My vote was for Gnome Slayer. The graphics are very impressive, and it's an overall polished product. Supa Pong would be my next vote.

I'm not very much into shooting games or killing gnomes. I'm all for saving the gnomes.

SC invaders was quickly deemed impossible as I had enough trouble with the first level and the seconds scared the hell out of me.
oh, yea the first level is the whole game the second is just for fun so yea it is impossible.

 you people are supposed to tell us how to improve the game before the contest ends

As much as I would love not shooting gnomes, Silverwind's supa pong just blew itself higher than the other games. (In my opinion.)

i had to vote for supa pong, its good! i cant think of any improvments on it. now gnome defender, good effort but not enough action for me, one enemy at a time is lame. i wouldve voted for gnome slayer it had good graphics but there so many flaws. you have to shoot way to many gnomes per level, you cant have me shoot 30+ gnomes per level when the gameplay is so bland, you iether have to interupt it more frequently before the player gets bored or add more action like weapons or grenades or something. you should start off with 5-10 gnomes and maybe add 3 more per level. also the screen scrolls so goddamn slow! at the end of each level i have to WAIT what feels like 10 minutes which is annoying. but the thing that really killed the gameplay for me was to much lag time, if i shoot and miss i also end up missing the second gnome cause of the load time for the gun i dont know what causes this (shoddy programming?) but i cant get past level 3. the gnomes appear so fast too, i cant get them in time, the most i hit was 19 on level 3. it would be nice to get a shotgun with wider firing radius, and then maybe an rpg. ide have to say it was just ok but supa pong was way better

Thanks for the compliments on Supa Pong guys, glad you like it! :) I'm thinking of adding a practice mode to the next update and possibly a stage 8 in arcade mode, only playable if you win every stage without losing a life. There'll be more hidden characters in the next update as well.

Funny I never noticed these things I guess its cause I got a fast computer.

There was unlimited levels. There was a glitch and it kept on repeating a certain day.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions for Supa Pong guys. I'm glad you like it. :) Also, sorry about not adding your bug report in the readme Gan, I just forgot when I released it. I'l put it in the update though.
