The first ever MochiAds Flash Game Contest has come to a close, and I speak for all of us in praising the creativity and quality of the entries which were included in the contest. We’re pleased to celebrate your talent and share these delightful games with the world.
Thank you to all the developers who participated, and another big thank you to the judges – Chris Harris, David Scott, Eugene Mesgar, Jia Shen, Paul Preece & Ugur Ister – who made the tough (and very close) decisions on the winners.

Great games! Only thing I found was one bug on the grand prize winner, you can see what happened here: http://img341.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bugzt5.jpg
Hi Hazeo,
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve had many people come to me about that bug, but since I can’t seem to replicate it myself I’m having a real hard time getting rid of it.
What I will do, as soon as possible, is put out a new version that at least lets the player continue playing even though the bug occurs. It’ll just be a quick fix making sure the player doesn’t end up stuck there like in your screenshot, but hopefully it’ll make the bug a bit less annoying.
Cheers,
Jon
