Dangerous Dave's Dlog

The theme for this competition is Achievement. Create a game where the player must strive to achieve something, perhaps a futile struggle. Imaginative uses of the theme will score bonus points.

It is also recommended you make use of the Pointed Games API, which allows you to add trophies and highscores into your game, no DLL needed. This is, however, not required (games making use of these will not receive bonus points simply for using them. If online highscores are a great addition to your game, you may get extra points, but you can use any system to make the online highscores)

Games may be able to be indexed on the site, though this is neither guaranteed nor required. This is just a competition for fun.

Prizes:
(if you already have the game, we may be able to come to another arrangement)

1st. Monday Night Combat on Steam (requires free Steam account) + 500PP*
