This year's theme was "hybrid", which we interpreted as "playing two complete games at the same time":

Controls: Left and right arrow keysSteer ship and carSpaceFire ship laser Objective: ShooterRacerCollect all power-ups while destroying ships and meteors. Increase your score by causing more and more destruction. Lose a power-up each time an enemy hits you or shoots you. Lose the game when you get hit without any power-ups.Race as fast as you can, for as long as you can to increase your score. Increase your max speed by driving over speed boosters. Lose your boost by hitting other cars or rocks on the road. Lose the game when you hit something without any boosts.

The game difficulty becomes more intense as your score rises. Music is also affected by your performance, so don't let us down!
