We've just passed the half-way point in the development period for Casual Gameplay Design Competition #5, and there is still plenty of time to polish-up your game ideas that incorporate the theme: UPGRADE.

Up for grabs are cash and prizes worth over $10,000. The deadline is March 16th.

Highlights of questions that have come up during the last week include:

• When will the required CGDC5 buttons with integrated Mochibot (for the viral award) be available? - We are pleased to report that the competition buttons are now ready. Since each button needs to be customized specifically for your entry, they will be handed out individually and upon request. We need to know a few things from each of you as part of your entry, so we have set up a CGDC5 Entry Form for you to both provide us with your entry information as well as to request your buttons. Please be sure to specify the correct Actionscript version (1.0, 2.0, or 3.0).

Note: Comments are disabled for this entry. Please continue to use the main competition announcement page for posting questions and comments. Cheers!
