IIrc, every Fire Emblem game gives you a tiny bit of experience for missing, while using the 100xp to level thing.

You might be right. Maybe I'll give 1 XP for missing. I don't really see how it makes a difference, though.

Yay, I finally managed to beat mission 2 without any losses.

Two more issues I found:
- enemy units can move on the same tile! I was at the southern part of the second mission map and there was only one tile gap between me and the 'end of the world' blue and then an archer walking on a step next to me but no battle started and then a warrior went on the same tile as the archer and started a combo attack
- after the second battle I don't really get the reason why they have to suddenly flee, the dialogue says something about that they investigate the ship and someone is furious if they find out that they failed or something... maybe it's just because my mother-tongue isn't English but I re-read it like 3 times and still didn't get it

Also: The thief keeps talking even when he's long-time-dead.

Is the game even beatable without deaths? I can't seem to be able to beat those Ghouls without getting hit by them and the poison will always at least kill one of my characters...

But the real reason I am posting: I saw one of the games are made with Game Maker and I wondered if we can join contests with non-OHR games as well.

Yes; it's not even particularly hard. If you're having trouble with it, move down in difficulty.

And yes, this particular contest allows non-OHR entries.

Hm I see. I should look out better for contests then.

Moving down in difficulty isn't really possible anymore I'm already playing normal. One more lower and I wouldn't even care if one character dies. :p

If you ever have some time can you host a movie on how to beat the ghoul stage without losing a character? Maybe I can learn something from it.

Whew! Much delayed, but I just uploaded a new demo of Wandering Hamster.

Considering the delay, this is a kinda small update, but I feel pretty good about it. Quality not quantity.

I was having a lot of fun with text box portraits.

If anybody wants to skip to near where the new stuff starts, you can use this SAV file (although strictly where the new-new stuff starts is about halfway through the Mini-golf.)

The last version of Wandering Hamster I played was the one that ended when the cats joined. Is it a good idea to replay it completely?

Well, it's "a bit" late, but I did manage to complete House Escape.
Here's a link:

So let's see, it's 14 days late, so that's... 56% point reduction. ouch.
Well, here's hoping! Oookay...

Sweet, my chances are improving! I'll win this thing yet!

O, and here's a link to the old version.

Didn't notice if this was covered, b u t for votes to count, a public comment on each game's completeness is required, as in this very thread?

Does this mean anyone who doesn't play them all to the end or won't lie, that they are ineligible to vote?
