A "Pattern" Emerges...

"Delaying the inevitable" is a hell of theme. Some chose dying, apocalypse, tower defence, the myth of Sisyphus. For us and one other team – the answer had to be male pattern baldness.

2 Games, 1 Low Self Esteem

Male Pattern Boldness

In our game "Male Pattern Boldness" - we created a WarioWare-style mechanic, where you had to grab random objects and place them on your head.

Ties, cats, leaves – anything is fair game!

Effective Treatment

In the other team's game Finally! An effective treatment for male pattern baldness! – we are presented with a mouse-click drawing mechanic and much more "realistic" hair growth.

Can you win? Or will our Rod-loving wife (?) always run out on us?

Which is better?

Which do you prefer? Realism vs Madness? Mouse vs Keyboard/Gamepad? Street trash vs Hair treatment? Rod vs Nameless Protagonist?

Both games need those extra ratings to qualify, so have a go at both and rate 'em up!
