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!

This time around, instead of
This time around, instead of just throwing random shit together, I feel like aiming for technical achievement...
Maybe I should have joined Action Point 2009. Actually, will we be holding another one this year?
AP:2010
Action Point is the worlds foremost celebrated Klik & Play Demoscene Party. It is held in July each year, attracting incredibly talented event writers and klipart prodigies from around the world. We are currently looking for a corporate non-sponsor this year, to help un-fund the anti-expenses of running such a big event. AP:2009 was graciously dis-supported by 2012: The Movie. We are also accepting theme suggestions for this year's event.

I've thrown around the idea of doing a Pitfall+Predator mashup for about a year now. Maybe this would be a good time to follow through on it.
You totally should do it.

I really need to sit down
I really need to sit down one day and spend hours upon hours figuring out how to do good AI in TGF. I'm sure it's possible. Then I won't have to take the easy way out only doing games for more than one player all the time.
Wish I had someone to play

You forgot to list KotM #30 and 31 on the Klik of the Month page.
STOP FORGETTING! XD
AWESOME SMASH BALLZ
Here's my submission, I may have started an hour early because Alaska time zones always leave me confused. It's a two player bullet-hell avoid-em-up of galactic proportions made in one hour. It also has asymetrical gameplay because player one can conjour up umbrellas. Full details in the readme, all you need to know is that it's awesomely awful. Click on the .png for the pic.
Very cool idea! Sadly I
Very cool idea! Sadly I didn't have anyone to play against, though.
LOVED the ending.
Haha, the ending actually
Haha, the ending actually came out that way because I wasn't sure how to put in text "player X wins" -- that was kind of a workaround. I playtested each side for like two minutes, but I'm waiting for my little brother to come home to see how it turns out.
These KotM are tons of fun. =) I finally got around to making a game.
Left 4 Teletubbies
Not feeling great so my KOTM game is very rushed and about a 100th of what I would have liked it to be.
Arrow keys to move and Ctrl to fire.
Cool It was still pretty
Cool
It was still pretty awesome
Terrifying, too.
Robbit vs. the WGBH logo
Our hero Robbit is on an epic quest to destroy the icon of childhood fears all over america... THE WGBH LOGO! Space starts the game, WASD moves Robbit and the arrow keys move the WGBH logo. The best thing about the game, though, is that everybody wins!
This is probably the first game ever made where you get to play as the WGBH logo. Say, I wonder what it would be like to play as the WGBH logo in MUGEN? Maybe Flash of Doom could be one of it's special attacks.
aw
doesn't seem to be working (screenshot attached)
Really?
I made it using Scratch 1.4, if that's any indication. I barely had time to test.
And now I figure out that the compiler uses Scratch 1.2. Frustration of frustrations. Anyway, after many minutes of mindless hacking away at Scratch's dependencies, I came up with a Zip file that uses version 1.4. Open the .sb file of the game in Scratch and it should come out OK.
What compiler did you use?
What compiler did you use? If you used ChirpCompiler, it should work fine with Scratch 1.4 files.
Maybe try removing the full stop in the filename before you compile it?

Somewhere, in the land of the trolls, Jim Sterling gets a nauseous feeling in his stomach. Yet another art game was conceived, and it drained away more of his life force. He hunkers down to his computer and prepares to pen more inflamatory virtrol, lest these small infectuous entities eventually consume him. Elsewhere, a lone man named ExciteMike hastily constructs an awesome art game, hoping his will be the one to finally fell the troll and free the internet from his tyranny once and for all.

I made a shitty chatbot that emulates a youtube commenter and likes dead crabs. I'll just upload the python file for now, EXE will come later when I can get to Windows for a bit.
Since there's no goal I guess it's an art game.
EDIT: .exe now available in a .zip

ASS-ASS-IN CREED II: DRMageddon
Experience the awesome joy of not playing a game you paid for, without having to actually pay anything! That must make me, like, twice as cool as Ubisoft(tm), right? Made in under, like, five minutes. A sexy offcolor picture of myself and artsty-fartsy statement included (modesty is unaccounted for, though).

TWO-PLAYER ONLY
THIS WAS AWESOME
Played this with a friend until the score went into three-digits and so went offscreen :D
Cool!
Cool! I tried to match my memory of watching some footage of Intellivision programmers playing Biplanes that I saw a few weeks ago. I've yet to playtest it with anyone, so I'm glad to hear it was fun!
The Secret Life
This is a game that mostly only people who KnP / make trainwrecks often will get the most out of, which is why I thought I'd do this one now instead of doing this in the Pirate Kart

blurble
a game based on something i saw at openprocessing.org - http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=6417
the original was just such a nice organic look - making it a game was kind of rough. Your some kind of biological whatsit trying to catch other little things of food as fast as you can...
new version, looks a bit
new version, looks a bit more biological
it really is the prettiness and biological look that makes this game what it is, which isn't much

I think you forgot the .gam, .img, .mtf, .mus, and .snd files. (your game might not actually have all of them)
KNP isn't nice enough to pack that all into one file for you :(

Good thing I did this tonight instead of during the pirate kart. D:
This should do it. Thanks for pointing it out.

if anyone wants to see it anyway -- it's all bugged and stuff
Shoot! Win!
Shootwin is a game about Presidential Assassination and having me yell at you for doing it wrong.
I am so sorry.
Self-Immolation
Defeat the enemies by setting yourself on fire and running into them! Don't stay on fire too long because fire kills you too, dummy! I think this one turned out well.

hey great, double post, awesome

More games should have catching yourself on fire as a solid game mechanic; Wario Land 3 is the only other one that comes to mind.
TOO YUMAN
I ran out of time!
I guess a squad game with multiple weapons and customisable formations was a bit ambitious.
I'll add some actual bad guys and levels later!

"XAPOFX1_1.dll was not found" and "failed to load plugin ...capE4B6.tmp\2.csx (126)"
Whatever those meant. =(
Speaking of which...
Will there be a fixed version? :)
oops
(Edit: No, wait, I don't even think you need this. I don't know what the problem is.)
Missed this. As far as I know, you just need the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistibutable. (x86 version is here.) You could also just install Construct.
This is annoying, I know. Sorry!
