Making Video Games in 24 Hours?

24 hours. Make a cellular phone game, win a prize. This is exactly what many undergraduate and graduate students accomplished in the Mobile Game Mosh, an annual video design competition held few weeks ago in New York City. This pressure-packed competition brought together ten teams of students from seven New York universities to strut their gaming genius and come out with a game that will make Atari Corporation crave for more. The surprise winner? Not from famous gaming-craze universities but from a Christian seminary. Another surprise.

A Team from Brooklyn University took away the Mobile Game Mosh Award for Best Audio Design with their game, Whirlwind Romance, a wrecking-tornado game. Best Visual Design went to a certain student name Oh My Mosh with his game Fowl Frenzy, where player help a bird feeds her chicks. An honorable mention was given to a undergrad student  Las Pwnistas for his Gym Jungle.The game play involves scaling to the top of the rope while following cues from balls that fly across the phone’s screen. The winner of the Top Overall Game was Moth from Union Theological Seminary under the pseudonym The Difference Engine. They came up with a game that has a poetic touch.The objective of the game is to guide the titular moth home to the moon, where it lives. With its  attention to details, the project surprisingly nabbed the prize.

All in 24 Hours. Nice.
