FWIW I feel uniqueness should be judged against all games prior to the compo, not against entries in that compo. Pulling off decent 3D on the NES is exceptionally unique regardless of how many entires coincidentally pulled it off in that year's compo.calima wrote:but if we're getting three 3d games already, that drops the uniqueness points for us all :s
It's also about the game play in general, 2-3 different games which happen to use 3D can be completely unique from each other. Just as platformers can be very unique from each other as we saw last compo.
