For the first time in the history of FBGD competitions we had a rather close race, with all of submitted entries being of similar high quality and dealing with the competition theme equally well. Although I can't say that this competition delivered an entry of Witchcraft Adventure quality, it definitely resulted in games that pushed some boundaries in our game development community, with the superb platform engine in Y.A.G.A.C. (best ever in FB, IMO), or excellent and pretty much third ever thought-out 3D game in FreeBASIC - Color Eater 3D. I definitely recommend all games from this competition and look forward to updates on Color Eater 3D and RACESII that were promised and will be featured here. Thanks to all participants once more.
