Congratulations to the Winter FUNderland Winners!

Greetings Squad members! Here it is, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: it’s time to announce the Winter FUNderland MicroProject Winners! The Winter FUNderland Challenge was to design and create your own video games, and share them with your squad! We had a huge number of awesome submissions this month! Some games were simple, some even our best gamers couldn't beat. Thank you so much for making so many fun games!

Our Grand Prize:

Earning the MicroProject Winner Badge and a $60 gift card to Best Buy, is Juan101 from The Blue Falcons squad in from Fremont Intermediate School in Oxnard, California. Juan101's game earned the MicroProject Winner Badge because it is actually five games rolled into one. Juan101 took a number of different classic games and remixed them with Gamestar Mechanic in a new and awesome way. Everyone in Mouse Headquarters had a lot of fun playing your game. Way to go Juan101!

Our First Runner Up:

Our first runner up is Scott S 624 from Halsey's Mouse Squad from Queens, New York. He will receive a RadioShack DIY kit for his squad for his awesome game: "Super Guy."
This game was made by hand in Scratch, it involves flying, avoiding obstacles and monsters and you can make Super Guy shrink or get bigger with the press of a button. Making a game like this in Scratch is really difficult, and Scott S 624 did a great job programming it.

Our Second Runner Up

Also receiving a RadioShack DIY kit is Herobrine555 from Wagner Middle School in New York, New York whose game Brother's Bond is totally rad. In this platformer adventure you go on a quest to find your missing brother with the help of a magical fox. There are a number of puzzles and riddles along the way to make this 7 level game really worth your time. Way to go Herobrine555!

Honorable Mentions

We had so many amazing submissions this month! It was incredibly difficult to choose a winner. We would like to give honorable mentions to tcecorral from Eli Whitney Elementary School for Dremedia: Story Game. This is a choose your own adventure style story game that is really fun to play!

Play Dremedia.

Our other Honorable mention goes to abrahamv from BSMS Mouse Squad in Moreno Valley, CA. Abrahamv created a game called Parkour Awesomeness that is tons of fun. This game makes you jump from block to block in space. It's difficult but not impossible and makes you want to keep playing over and over until you get it right.
