The title FlowerShower suggests a gardening simulation game. It starts promising with beautiful comic style pixel art in the title screen showing clouds and meadows with a picturesque narcissus flower. The title screen also features a a basic text scroller asking to press enter. If you do, the game unfortunately shows nothing more than a blue background. Sadly there is no game after all and no indication how it should have been. I'm curious to see how this game was intended to be. From a technical point of view FlowerShower's source code is very clean and readable, uses allegro, and compiling it was straight forward.

Overall: 1 (no game after all)
Artistical: 2 (pixel art could be considered old fashioned)
Technical: 2 (scroller is there, but no procedural content, code is clean, below 400kb)
Genre: 2 (only one beautiful flower on title screen)

Scores: Overall 1 Artistical 2 Technical 2 Genre 2

I can see a flower - so the genre requirement is met. I see scrolling text. The old-fashioned art requirement is not really present, and neither is the procedural content.

Unfortunately, the game is unfinished. Thanks for trying, and better luck next time!

Scores: Overall 1 Artistical 1 Technical 1 Genre 1

This entry starts really promising with a hand-drawn yellow flower on a meadow with a blue sky and some clouds.

To my big disappointment I realized that that's rally all that was finished during the competition. I want my game to play!

Scores: Overall 2 Artistical 2 Technical 1 Genre 2
