Yeah. After a while the game turns into how long you can go before making a mistake, where time spent making tetrises is more valuable than time spent generically surviving. It's still slow enough that it's possible to maintain a decent rhythm and avoid mistakes. You seem to be better than me at the whole actually getting tetrises part :p
I'd try to top that but it seems top 8 get to the playoffs so laziness will win again.

I think points for places is ideal. Anything else runs the risk of someone completely blowing everyone out of the water in a game, which isn't inherently bad, but has the problem that it would cause differences in other places to be of minimal importance.
For instance if scores for some game were 1000, 2000, 3000, and 50000, and you divide by the high-scorer's score, the three smaller scores become effectively the same (i.e., "almost nothing") even though they are significantly different.

That works if everyone participates every week, but at that point it's basically just the same as "score one point for every person you beat, highest score wins"?
Otherwise you get an advantage for not participating.

Spoiler: Another slight improvement.
This version of snake actually has a decently significant depth of strategy. Every extra frame that it takes you to get to a bit of food costs you 2 points (it always gives you at least 1). So you're incentivized to, after eating food but before you can process where the next food is, turn in the direction that minimizes the expected time to the next food.
The more interesting strategy happens when the snake gets really long; it often becomes impossible to reach a piece of food before its value drops to 1, and so the incentive becomes to make the snake be as nice as possible (i.e., as unrestricted, letting you move as freely as possible) when you get to it.
There's also of course a big element of reflexes and a big element of consistency in timing, especially for hairpin turns.

Apparently if i try to take a screenshot without defocusing the game it goes back to the main menu so it's fading out but you can still see the score pretty clearly, lmk if it's not acceptable, will do the other song *eventually*

gg.
This was much fun - the amount of fun varied from week to week a lot though with the games. I enjoyed tetris and snake a lot for instance, but in weeks with games i found boring i generally just made like a half hour or an hour of attempts and submitted what I got (i.e. bejewled, qwop). I liked how the scoring system worked out but it ultimately rewards activity so would have been better with more people more active, of course.
It might be interesting to have a large pool of games and have people vote on them for some amount of time, and have the actual games chosen reflect the votes with the higher-voted games coming in later and later weeks and the most-voted game being the finale.
