Still standing, with or without the aid of caffeine? Great!
Not? Get some sleep while you can, there's still more than 1,5 days left to party!
Today we've got the most anticipated kind of events: Compos. So many of them, in fact, that we've decided to make you a short guide to them.
Pick the one that interests you the most and find out more about the rules and objectives!
16.30: Oldskool Demo Compo on the big screen; For the fans of oldschool gaming, this competition brings you the best of Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari, Sega MegaDrive and many more!
17.30: Real Wild Demo Compo on the big screen; A competition for anything that can run realtime graphics, mobile platforms, indie surprises, experimental stuff mixed with old school. You can't be sure what to expect, except that it'll be amazing.
