Greed by Gib
***********************
Greed is a social experiment. I wanted to take a different approach on the theme, by not making you play a villain, but instead by making YOU the villain.
I've put 50$ at stake. In one month, on January 13th, I'll give those 50 bucks to someone.
You break blocks, you earn points. You can keep those points, or give them to a charity. The more points you have, the more likely to be selected at the end you are. Easy maths.
I plan to post some statistics on the experiment after it ends.
Made with a fine blend of FlashPunk/Adobe Flash. Source coming shortly, sorry for the delay.

Go CHARITY! Go!
Hope charity wins!
Is earning points random? I can't seem to find a pattern.
(I'm not able to explain why... but I just don't fell like playing this... it seems wrong, somehow... >_<)
Also, many buttons do weird things if pressed more than once before the animations stop.
Well, you are the villain, although normally we don't call people villain when they make rules. :p
01010111 -> I've considered ads, but it will ultimately make so few money it wasn't worth degrading the clean look of the page :)
Datw -> I can track them. Dunno what to do with them though.
I can't make an improved version yet, as I need to wait for the voting round to end. If I can have some free time, I'll put together an new version that will go live at the end of the contest.
5 stars for innovation, very original and unique answer to the theme.
I had a bug where "0 points" was visible all the time.
Very interesting game.
Also I like how rare the 30's are, makes getting one always exciting, and getting 2 on the same board thrilling
I clicked. I clicked a lot.
Why ? It's repetitive, it's not especially funny...
But I clicked. I clicked for charity.
Now I'm sure, I'm a good guy. This game demonstrates it.
This is one of my definition of gaming : helping the player to discover himself.
Who need fun when you have this?
