The Klik of the Month Klub meets right here on this very website on the third Saturday of every month at 4pm Pacific Time (taking daylight savings into consideration) for a two hour Klik & Play Showdown. Everyone who participates gets two hours to create something from scratch in Klik & Play. Abusing the stock objects is encouraged. If you really loathe Klik & Play you can use whatever game development platform you want. Two hours is a pretty tight time limit, though, so choose wisely!

Klik & Play is absolutely free to download, and learning it takes minutes, so everyone can get in on the action. Want to talk to your fellow Klikwreckers? Join us on IRC -- server irc.freenode.net, channel #glorioustrainwrecks. Join the mayhem!

For more information, check out the KotM N00B FAQ.

Sign up below to get reminded by email the day before the klikkening begins!

Man! That came up a lot

Man! That came up a lot quicker than I thought! I don't think I'll be able to finish The Strong Collection (name pending) in time. Even if it's late it'll still be awesome.

But yeah, this KotMK marks one year of me making Glorious Trainwrecks. It's been a lot of fun!

[Bakedown] I Love You To Death

I think I'll be trying to make the game I would have made last month, had I not missed it. And use that as a basis of my Backedown entry on Select Button. It should be a vertical-shooter-rhythm-dodger with a Village People soundtrack.

switch CIRCUS

I did mine early because I wasn't sure if I would be free or feel like making a game later. Here is my entry:

Use the spacebar to control the direction of the seesaw.

Who knows... maybe I'll make another game tonight.

I'm already looking forward to playing this. It reminds me of Bouncer 2 which I LOVED.

This is pretty damn addictive. I think it was the music which made me give up in the end.

Your video is crazy; how can

Your video is crazy; how can you play it so well? Or do I just suck? But it's a really attractive concept.

Clowns & Circus Atari

I think my highest score is 44 balloons.

I had hoped that by making the game play using only one button that I could make the game accessible, but I'm afraid the difficulty level renders it somewhat inaccessible. :P Perhaps I'll go back and tweak the game to make it a little easier. I tried things like variable seesaw speed and changing direction of the seesaw at will, but that served only to complicate things and made the game even more difficult.

Sorry about the music... I recorded one of my unfinished KORG DS-10 tunes and put it on an infinite loop. The sound effects were also made with KORG DS-10.

The concept is not original as it is a remake of the old Clowns arcade game (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7356) or Circus Atari (http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=87).

Double Vision

If it doesn't hurt your eyes, you aren't playing it properly (maybe).

Your spaceship is trapped between 2 parallel dimensions which conveniently seem to have the same deadly objects in different positions. Negotiate your way past them to collect all the Strawberrys.

It would be rad if everything on the second side was the same as the first only slightly moved to the right so when you stare at the screen it all goes 3D-ish. Like those horrible Magic Eye pictures.

My only gripe is that I wish I didn't have to start RIGHT back at the beginning of the game whenever I lose; I'd like just to be able to restart the level.

Other than that I less than three the mechanic, somehow it reminds me of an enemy in one of the handheld zelda games that mimiced your moves and you had to plan how you were going to get the jump on it by making it walk into blocks and such

Yay!

Controls are something.

I was kind of thinking of it

I was kind of thinking of it as a mash-up between Alter Ego and your game Heart while I was making it. Passage didn't really enter the picture.

I'm pretty sure that I forgot that Heart was your game until I read your comment. I think the title of my game comes from some random internet jerk's dismissive criticism of Heart, but Google isn't turning up anything for me, so maybe I dreamed it? Thank you for providing the mechanic to rip off, anyway!

Oh hey I just realized that it's a one-button game I should submit it to Gamma 4

NKL Klikball '10

I landed the exclusive contract with 2K Games to port this year's edition of the official National Klikball League video game to Windows 3.1. Without any further ado:

(It says two players because I copy-pasted the entire frame to make a one-player version, but the red team ignored commands from the event editor. Le sigh. It's still in the game files if anyone cares.)

Within

A (pretty bad) text game.

Quote:

There's a way to find things you've lost recently. You have to concentrate and retrace your every step, remember where you were at each time and what you did then. That technique might also work to recover a lost memory.
