• HOLY @*$&*@($ WE WON!
  Best Windows Game, evar. i'm sdrunk.

  Best Windows Game
  Mr. Spiff's
  Revenge
  (POW Studios)

   

  

  "The big prize, with $4,000 on offer,
  this was one of the most difficult to judge. But in the end our judges had to
  go for Mr. Spiff's Revenge on the basis that not only is it a clever modification
  of the Dr. Dobbs Challenge source, it also innovates in ways that we never
  expected!

  Though a 2D platformer similar to the original title, the entire game
  is played using mouse gestures -- even movement of the titular skeleton Mr.
  Spiff – and while our judges took a while to get comfortable with the controls,
  they particularly enjoyed the gestures used to attack enemies and perform the
  huge, screen clearing "smart bomb" attack!

  Mr. Spiff's Revenge also
  featured excellent new graphics that only added to the immersion.
  Congratulations to POW studios, which consists of Betson Thomas, Justin
  Varghese and Chris Lau. [Download now!]
