[Santa]

...and the winner is

Minigore: Tiny creatures, Giant adventure. (by Evan Hsu)

Santa congratulates Evan who will now get to be in Minigore!

---

Thank you everyone for the flood of great entries we received for the Amazing Minigore Tagline Contest! The grand prize, as Santa is sure everyone remembers, is to see yourself run amok in the first update of Minigore, carefully hand-sculpted according to the 230-point Hardgore requirements checklist.

There is more! All the finalists are already winners. That's right! Each runner-up is going to get an update named after their tagline and their likeness will contribute to the winner's character to make a very special Frankenstein character who gains ability to grow with each update and, in the sixth update, will become a boss in the game. How is that for amazing!

Tiny creatures, Giant adventure to me sounds perfect.

[Diablohead]

Minigore: Tiny creatures, Giant adventure. (by Evan Hsu)
Minigore: A swan song in G-minor (by Pieter Goedkoop)

While I like both of these I am tipped more towards Evan's choice.

['Jeep]

Amazing! Great entries, I'd almost wish they'd keep the Frankenstein monster as it is!:D

They are putting so much effort and detail into Minigore, can't imagine what Hardgore will be like... :cool:

[nizy]

Had to vote for "A swan song in G-minor" as it is so stupid (and funny too, especially in the original context (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=284655#post284655)) and from the looks of it is quite fitting for the game. :D

EDIT: Santa, you should put that post in the app store description of the game!

[Combzzz]

so wait is this out?

[trevainsworth]

so wait is this out?
Not yet, the dev estimates it will be submitted for approval on the 25 June, personally, I cannot wait to start playing this.

[monkeys37]

The worst one is winning.

[VeganTnT]

I don't like any of those :/

the winning seems pretty generic IMHO

[Prizzie]

Whoa. I'm a finalist? This is mighty awkward.

[mrchennyken]

Aw, I didn't get in ):
Oh well. Tiny creatures, Giant adventure sounds nice to me.

[Baloney]

Thousands of them... one of you = win

[f e a r l e s s]

Why hasn't this been moved to general section yet? $$$?

[turakm]

Mini in size, Big on Gore


think about it

[xVietx]

I like the first tagline but honestly, it's been done to death. SO with that in mind, I chose the last one.

[trevainsworth]

The tag line "tiny creatures, giant adventure" makes me think that you play the role of the tiny creatures.

[skamando]

That "Tiny Creatures" line is terribly cheesy and unoriginal. Don't do it!

[Baloney]

That "Tiny Creatures" line is terribly cheesy and unoriginal. Don't do it!

Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!

[don_k]

+1
sounds cheap, generic and uninspired. Don't do it!!

[xVietx]

Hmm, I have a theory that if that choice was last on the list instead of first, it wouldn't have as many votes. A lot of people when they look at a list and look at the first few items and see one they like, they don't bother to keep going in the chances that something else is better. Also, some people just pick the first one cause their lazy.

I really hope the last choice wins. >.<

[jFND]

I think they're all alright. I won't be bias in my entry of course, but I was pleasantly surprised to know I'm a finalist. haha. To be honest, I like the first one (no, that's not my one); just has a nice, corny B-movie ring to it. But hey, that might be a bad thing for some people.

[5duc29]

I thought my taglines were pretty good :( ...oh well, pretty sure everyone thought up some good ones. I like the "Thousands of them..." one.

I like mine still, hehe :D

1. Darkness falls when something strange comes....

2. Dark place in a dark world, Minigore.

3. A peaceful, quiet, dark world out there...

Congrats to contestants that made it.

Minigore: It's not fun unless it's Furry (by Vince Villani)

WOOOT! I MADE IT!! I'm actually in a contest!

[Prizzie]

I don't blame you guys for thinking the first one is corny, it is pretty god damn corny.

Mehh.

[Brinkman]

Thousands of them... one of you

seems to get the point across

[xVietx]

Hmm, at this rate, the first choice is gonna lock up the competition. Dang it, oh well. I can live with it.

[Prizzie]

Remember that all the other tag lines will be featured as well.

Yeah I guess so but ehhh

[AttackOfThePwned]

Not sure I would ever be ready to see a Frankenstein monster with the likenesses of six TA members...;) I wouldn't want it to break the screen of my iPhone 3G...:D..I hear the swan song playing now...G minor, I think ::hint::hint::

[charlieiscool12]

Thousands of them... Only one of you.
So happy to be a finalist. Thanks very much, and good luck to the other finalists.

[Prizzie]

Bad charlie. Telling people to vote for you. Bad bad.

[romulus]

While I agree that the first one is kinda corny, it's still a lot better than the others. G-minor is nice but I don't think I get the pun...?

[jFND]

Don't worry, I'm a good looking guy :p

It refers to the "ancient belief" that the species of Mute Swan is mute its entire life until it's death, releasing a beautiful cry just beforehand. It has come to refer to any sort of final, dramatic appearance. Sort of a last hurrah.

Which is precisely why it doesn't make sense as a tagline. I wouldn't want to advertise a game as a "last hurrah"

[charlieiscool12]

Bad charlie. Telling people to vote for you. Bad bad.

hey, chill out. All I did was post on iptf saying the contest had reached the point of six finalists. Then I said vote for me... I gave a link to this page... People can vote for whatever they want. It's not like I offered a dollar to everyone who votes for me. That's would be a jerk thing to do.
I didn't break any rules.

[Diggins]

i dont like the first or last one because they are too common and this game needs a comedy tagline

but this game looks awesome it reminds me of boxhead. if this had a global co-op mode it would be insanely beast

[skamando]

Well, first of all, specifying what key a swan
song is in is hilarious. Second, it could be like the character's swan song, just before he dies, he epically kills a bunch of creatures, 300 status.

[Dark NRG]

They ALL suck.

How about:

"The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promised to kill the Creeps...."

[charlieiscool12]

Nice... But you missed the time to submit

[AttackOfThePwned]

Nice... But you missed the time to submit

And obviously the part where the tagline should be six words or less..

[Santa]

...and the winner is Evan Hsu's Tiny creatures, Giant adventure. Awesome, says we!

Thanks go to all the voters and folks who sent in their entries for the contest.

[don_k]

Soo... cliche.

[Vinny554]

I wish I coulda changed mine from:
Its not fun unless its Furry
to:
Get ready to get Furry

[Krispod]

Co-op mode true peer to peer gaming!!! that would be awsome :D

[TimoVihola]

Congrats Evan!
