Thanks Tom! I'll be checking out the audio for sure! (Especially digital utopia thats been on loop since it released lol) Congrats to all the winners!
Charl
Excellent stuff all around! Thanks for the shout out!!
I am amazed to see Trivial Trivia: The Newgrounds Collection rank in the top 5 games for the month! Thank you to everyone who voted on the game and supported it throughout the month. Big thanks to Tom for featuring it on the frontpage of the website for about 3(?) weeks which allowed it to accumulate over 30k views so far!
Big thanks to everyone who allowed us to use art in the game - it would not be a good sight if I had to draw those characters. I think every illustration in the game fit in and gave the game that "Newgrounds" vibe. The in-dev plan was just to have some text representing the tiles, so this definitely made the visuals, NG medals, and theming much better.
Huge thanks to @qwerty741 for hitting the game hard and reporting bugs (in one case a bug that corrupted savedata) and typos. His help resulted in some great QoL updates that greatly improved keyboard controls and fixed my frequent misspelling of receive.
On a different note -
I really enjoyed Dungeon Flippers this month - it was a very well made 16-minute animation that I would absolutely love to see more of. I thought it did a great job of worldbuilding and creating memorable original characters.
The Sonic collaboration was also cool to see - I never knew there were so many different ways to draw Sonic & co!
The trivia guy
thank u Tom and crew... this fills my belly with glee!
Thanks for the mention, Tom! And thank you for the award.
It's so cool seeing this. My old NG account is long gone but I have been animating since 2005 thanks to NG. Sonic Paradox simply would not exist without NG. We look forward to releasing more content soon.

Man, I and my older sister love to watch Sonic Shorts together. Like how we would used to watch the same DVDs we had over and over again. Good times. Nowqw both hate the stuff the other one watch.
