furiosity gets a winner! winner gets a possibly amazing prize!

Today is indeed the big day I will reveal the winner and the prize of furiosity! Many people played the game and many people have completed the whole game. But only one person can win: the person who completed everything first, and that was merely two hours after the game was released. I also announced the prize would be possibly amazing for the winner, so Peter Molyneux, in case you still need some inspiration on what to put in your last Curiosity cubelet, please read along ;)
So bring on that drum roll, I will now reveal the winner of furiosity and the prize: The winner is Steven Buck from USA. Steven happens to make nice artistic accent lighting, so please have a look at his lamps here. And now that furiosity gets a winner, the winner gets into furiosity! That's correct, from today on the dreaded last level 40 is gone in the game and I replaced it with Steven. So that's the prize: the winner gets right into the very center of the game! Now isn't that possibly amazing?

a new bontegame: furiosity

Yes, that's correct, I'm presenting my new game today! This is a bit of a special game since the idea to make this one came to me only a week ago and the game was made in a couple of days. The game was built for this game jam, centered around the theme of making a game in a genre you hate.
If you follow the mobile apps world, you will certainly have heard about 'Curiosity', the pseudo-game by Peter Molyneux where everyone is tapping blocks away from a giant cube with the purpose of clicking away the very last block, and to find out what 'life-changing amazing' thing is inside.
Some people think 'Curiosity' is a genius social experiment, others think it promotes mindless idiocy.
Anyway, it made me create Furiosity on a whim, or what Curiosity would have been if it was actually a game.
Strip away every layer of the game, not mindlessly, but by logical thinking and in the end the first person to solve every level will win something possibly amazing... And maybe that one person is you!
