More Easy Money

I wrote earlier about Kongregate flash games community in Easy Money post, but there is much more to tell about this, since this website is rapidly growing project.

There is 765 games online right now, and that number is changing fast. All games are in several categories: Action, Racing, Shooter, Sports, Puzzle and Strategy and More. Everyone can upload his flash game. Players decide about it, they rate it, comment it and so on. Kongregate is founded in 2006 and they want to become "leading online hub for players and game developers".

Few interesting ideas are present. First, while you play and rate games from other developers, those best games, highest rated games in every month are entering Contest and every month $1500 is rewarded. Second highest gets $1000, etc, 9th gets $250. That's not all. Weekly prize is $250 for first place, $150 for second and third. Not bad at all.

But wait, there is even more. While playing games, some games can get you cards. I got 2 cards for now, Ubuntu, the Elder and Juju, the Shaman. For those I had to play 4 different games, reach some levels and stuff. Cards will be used in game that is still in development, and that will be available on Kongregate when it is finished. I can imagine that this game will also have some heavy cash prizes.

Come and try it. I just wanted to see how is it and now I'm really hooked. What can I do? Some things are stronger than me :)

1 - That's cool, but honestly, I wouldn't call creating a game of award winning quality, and *possibly* getting paid $1500 for it "easy money". You could easily get paid 3-4 or more times that for a decent quality game. (Comment this)

2 - Hello Keith, thanks for coming by. Actually, "Easy Money" was my recent post title when I was referring to my first 20 points made at Kongregate :) (Comment this)
