Nice game. Took a little time to figure out I had to click the words dropping from the screen to fight. I liked how the repetition of the words came into the mechanic.
Making some good progress on the game. I have the base game and am adding polish to make it funner like things to do, sound FX, and stuff. Not going to share a video this so I can focus my free time to get the most into the game. I found a pack of 6 cartoonish-looking characters from the Unity Asset store that I think are perfect for the game. You'll start with Zach (for Zacchaeus) and then unlock Sheba, Mary, Simon, Priscilla, and then Paul. Each character has their own ability and theme song to give them a unique feel.
With the hardmode game taking some time away, I'm going to have to do a bit less than what I was originally thinking. How much? We'll see as the deadline is just over 7 days away.
Beauty through brokenness reminds me of 2 Corinthians 4:6-8 which talks about treasures in clay jars. So, I'm making a game about letting this beauty out. The basic idea is to shoot balls at the pot until all of the clay comes off. Planning to call it "Galactic Crackpot".
Yesterday I went out on a 4 1/2 mile run after work to think on some ideas. I thought of a bunch of ideas; RPG on the story of Zacchaeus, puzzle for believers seeking the lost, and a match-3 game among others. However, the idea that seemed to stand above the others was to do a runner game. The obvious game would be to make a game where you play as Jesus or a believer and run after lost souls to catch. My twist is that you will play as the lost soul, running away from Jesus. As you run you'll accrue sin points.
When Jesus catches you, he will remove your sin points and match it with grace points. This brings in Romans 5:20-21 where it talks about how sin increased, grace increased. Then, you'll be able to use your grace points to unlock costumes, more characters to run with, and other things.
Looks like my Luke 19:10 verse was chosen. I suppose it would be trollish of me not to choose it :-)
In this verse, Jesus is talking to Zacchaeus, a tax collector. Zacchaeus had climbed a tree so he could see Jesus. When Jesus noticed him, he said he wanted to go to his house. I think it's interesting that Zacchaeus came seeking Jesus, but Jesus said His job was to seek and save the lost.
What's standing out to me is that Jesus works through other people to seek out and witness to others about Him to be saved. The great thing about this is that we get to participate in God's plan to bring salvation to the world. I'll keep ruminating on this as I think of a design.

Question was posed to me about extending the voting window to get more votes in. I also just realized the voting was set to submitter only. I have changed it to public and extended the voting for one more week to compensate. So share with all your circle of friends and social media so we can get some good playing and voting on the games you spent such hard work crafting. Don't feel shy about sharing with non-Christian circles too.
Very interesting. I think this game has a lot of potential. My guess is that you may need to reduce the number of levels to fit within the limited timeframe.
Game concept sounds interesting but I'm having a little trouble visualizing how it works. Looking forward to seeing more screenshots for how this game progresses.
The great thing about typing games is that they can easily be extended to help kids learn and practice typing. Looking forward to how this turns out as my son is starting to learn.
Belisarius87, you won the funnest game category which is a $25 discount to CGDC this year. Please contact me over facebook so I can give you your prize.
Tried out the build. That's an interesting pastel-art style you've got there. Interesting going around talking to the different people. For music, I'd check out opengameart.org, they have decent free stuff.
