Thank you d4rkst0n3, I'm really sorry for you but it's only for legal reasons (because of the price).

Edit : So after a quick meeting with our legal Dept. we have something that looks like a solution...

You can participate anyway, giving your true age, and if you've done a good job, you'll receive another price (like a bundle of all our games for your cell phone...).

We are always pleased to discover new talented people, even when they're young

The age is rather silly because I'm sure most under 18's own a phone. I would enter but unfortunately I'm 17 doh and I'm no good at animations. It'll be interesting to see some of the entries though.

One background composed of 6 tiles (each tile being 16 x 16 in size.)

If each tile is 16x16, shouldn't there only be four tiles? 2 rows and 2 columns?

Oh, like I told it before, it's only for legal reason in some countries, when you allow appliant to win a price, they should be 18+

I know...
