• 512b Atari ST Ooma 2 by Ribbon [web]
• I really like it, maybe small and blocky but good for the size.

• 4k Atari VCS Gehirn by wamma [web]
• Rules. Even though I enjoyed it less than Core and Lasertime. Maybe the music?

• demo Windows GamePark GP2X Re-re-recycle by optimus
• @ham: Well, that's the most interesting comment because there is a lot of text and good criticism to read and I agree about most of them :)
  
  Some parts are indeed too slow on the real thing (especially when I have to do box blur in two scenes and crossfade between them at between the last two parts :P Oh, and the 3d blobs, I am not sure why they look slower and uglier than in Led Blur but I had no time to fix this too :) and even if I tried to optimize some parts of it, I didn't managed much and there was no time. With more time I'd try more things and fix these issues.
  
  And unfortunatelly I am also using HW_SURFACE on the GP2X SDL which is doing fast blitting with the hardware capabilities of GP2X, BUT it also needs SDL_DOUBLEBUF or else there is flickering. But the SDL_DOUBLEBUF also vsyncs which is either good or bad (because in some parts, e.g. the rotozoomer when 3 types of filtering are appearing, the framerate suddenly drops to the half (and I didn't use a timer but instead increased an integer as the timer for the zoomrotation by one and that gave me a smoother rotozoomer at times :P). Anyways,. there are so many things I have to do it in another way for the next release (and maybe also move away from SDL and do it the low level so I can have more control on some things I can't now)
  
  Sometimes I feel the urge to release for some demoparties and only find the mood to do so few weeks/days before the deadline. And somehow I had to to support our only greek demoparty :)
  
  And the volume control. I always think of that and it's nothing hard to do, but always forget it. Next time I'll fix it..

• demo Linux Windows Mindflush by Mindlapse Fan Club [web]
• Thumbs up for the effects. The starting is cool. The blobs also. The refracting objects look nifty. And the little drawing spiral stuff at the end. There were many bugs unfortunatelly here in the windows version (flashing/disappearing objects) and maybe I will watch it in it's original form when I decide to install Linux in my machine.

• demo Windows Erased by vall@day [web] & Padua [web]
• Some parts were slowing down preety much. Otherwise it's ok.

• demo Windows Frustrated Infrared Reflection by Psyxes
• I remember I was impressed more in the compo of this than now I watch it again (maybe it was the whiskey :). The first part is taking too long and gets boring after a while (I don't care about palmtrees and windmills, the stranger the better :) and I only like the effect in the second and last part.

• demo Windows Chillout by eXtrait [web]
• Rather cool for a first prod. Somehow I liked those pinky horizon colors and the strange trees, jupiter, scenes etc. They are so dreamy, like another beatiful world. I don't know why I like it so much, but especially at the part with the lights from the bricks and outside the trees and that horizon made me love it. It's so great that you finally released such a demo and congrats for the 1st position! (You deserve it :)
