aypok & playgeneration also entered the SMS Power 2011 Coding Competition. Their entry “Rental Car” is unfortunately not complete so you just need to guide a car from start to end. There is no real goal yet.

Wickeycolumbus took part in the SMS Power 2011 Coding Competition as well and released a Snake game. It’s a rather simpel clone so don’t expect any funky extras. In other words it’s very pure and basic. Maybe the one or other still wants to give it a go.
