Not a game..., you mean this one?
Maybe intentionally, so that people don't ramble on about blah blah blah game and blah blah blah gadgets and blah blah interactive movies? Or is it a rule so obvious there's no need to spell it out?
Games or interactive ...thingies. There, done. :3

Well, no, not really. @guthrie was correct when he said:
Here's the direct language from the movie submission guidelines: If you want to try live action here, it must be a short film with legit production value and an animation component done in post production.
That's the text, but the thought and meaning behind it is that it can have live elements, but should have a major animation component. Live dramas, stories, or podcasts, even with quality film work are still not what we want. And, crappy animated add ins, like some kid throwing MS Paint "lasers" from his hands are also not what we want.
This one is a good example of live action and animation.
