What about happy violence? Like say for instance two characters in my game slap each other - but it's a slap of kindness and joy and they really meant each other no harm. Does that cross the line or no?

Well Empirez, seeing as you see 'meant no harm', that implies harm was done. So no. Now on the other hand if their hands created rainbows and gave them happy feelings when they 'slapped', sure.

If it's not too late, I'd like to join. I might actually enter something this time too. :P

For no violence, what about if you die, but your character is not really a person, more like a shadow, that just vanishes when he gets "hit". There's no one hitting him, but there's terrain that moves around and will "kill" him if he takes a wrong step. There's no actual violence, but you still have to stay alive.

this should clear things up
Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against a person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation.[2] This definition associates intentionality with the committing of the act itself, irrespective of the outcome it produces. |

I'll put my name down again, but unlikely to see an entry but just in case.
Because I am a man, I pick all three themes. |

Wait. So if my game is going for the 5 colors theme, and I use a normal Windows window, am I disqualified automatically? Or does this only apply to the game map? What about the output and grids, etc?
