Greed is a social experiment. I wanted to take a different approach on the theme, by not making you play a villain, but instead by making YOU the villain.
I've put 50$ at stake. In one month, on January 13th, I'll give those 50 bucks to someone.
You break blocks, you earn points. You can keep those points, or give them to a charity. The more points you have, the more likely to be selected at the end you are. Easy maths.
I plan to post some statistics on the experiment after it ends.
Made with a fine blend of FlashPunk/Adobe Flash. Source coming shortly, sorry for the delay.
I like the interpretation of the theme, making one of the player (possibly) into a villain. The game itself could have been a bit more fun though. Nice clean design.
I really like the art style and the multi-layered effect for layers you "scratch off" was interesting. A lot more interesting then I had thought. Not much of a "game" but I think there is a lot of potential here you can build upon.
Wait, what? When did Peter Molyneux enter LD48? :D Best part is that this version of Curiosity at least may end up donating something to charity! Or not, if we are villains...
It would be interesting to serve ads during gameplay that would add cash to a global pot to be divvied out monthly. The visual aesthetic is awesome as well. Great work!
When I first see the title, I thought you approached from a similar perspective as I do, but I'm totally wrong. This is definitely one of the most meaningful challenge I've seen so far in this LD, great work.
When I found a click with 30pt, I know you are a genius! Well, you are the villain, although normally we don't call people villain when they make rules. :p
01010111 -> I've considered ads, but it will ultimately make so few money it wasn't worth degrading the clean look of the page :)
Datw -> I can track them. Dunno what to do with them though.
I can't make an improved version yet, as I need to wait for the voting round to end. If I can have some free time, I'll put together an new version that will go live at the end of the contest.
rather addictive, and I don't want any money, just the leaderboard.. Also I like how rare the 30's are, makes getting one always exciting, and getting 2 on the same board thrilling
I clicked. I clicked a lot. Why ? It's repetitive, it's not especially funny... But I clicked. I clicked for charity.
Now I'm sure, I'm a good guy. This game demonstrates it. This is one of my definition of gaming : helping the player to discover himself. Who need fun when you have this?

Go CHARITY! Go!
Hope charity wins!
Is earning points random? I can't seem to find a pattern.
(I'm not able to explain why... but I just don't fell like playing this... it seems wrong, somehow... >_<)
Also, many buttons do weird things if pressed more than once before the animations stop.

5 stars for innovation, very original and unique answer to the theme.
I had a bug where "0 points" was visible all the time.
Very interesting game.
