Pre-emptively creating a thread to post your games when you find out that you weren't selected. Almost tempted to list my newbie 'curling' game as I'm pleased with my own work but wow'd by the artwork and ideas in other people's sharing.

You made a curling game? Sweet.

I don't know very much about curling but what is the yelling all about? Is that a common occurrence? Pausing at the 22 second mark is frightening, don't say I didn't warn you.

Yelling is how the "skip" (team leader) communicates with the two sweepers.

Sweeping harder leads to a longer, straighter shot, less sweeping leads to a shorter shot with more curl.

I guess they could all get headsets or something, but... I dunno the yelling is kinda awesome.

I agree actually, awesome, yet somewhat frightening.

Don't tell me you wouldn't run if three people with brooms came at you out of nowhere yelling like that

I've always wanted to make a curling game where you can yell into a mic to control the sweepers.

There used to be a curling game that had buttons for "Hurry!", "Hard!", and "Sweep" Which all had the same effect in game.

Also, I love curling.
