Challenge winner Adarias challenges you to create a music game mockup for the Nintendo DS. It can be any kind of music game. The more ridiculous the better!

For instance, you could make "Folkmetal Alchemist," a game in which two players mix spells in time to have an alchemic dual, or "Piccolo Rodeo" in which the player charms bulls by use of his flute. 

You must use both screens.

Jason de Caires Taylor has a very interesting sculpture gallery; situated entirely underwater. He uses a special cement finish on his sculptures that promotes the colonization by coral and other marine life, giving it a very old, very surreal appearance.

Check it out!

I know a lot of pixelation members browse over here at Pixel Joint, so i think it's a good idea to let you all know to hurry up with your secret santa submissions if you took part this year. You have very little time left! Make sure to get them to Panda (via PM over at Pixelation) as soon as you're done.

The deadline is the 23rd of December!

DO NOT SUBMIT THE PRESENT HERE AT PJ UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS.

The official thread over at Pixelation

Best of luck.
