Holy crap! Why is it that every time the Nox animation comes up he always has to, but it has to come first? Every time! No matter how much exp to vote I collect and no matter how I purposely inflate the smaller animations purposely leaving out Nox's animations well he will always be in first place! Sorry I got so carried away, I had to shout it out. I'm glad that at least Metrogeneric is in second place and Bunny3 in third place, because in my opinion @Ennuikal and @Jaquin deserve such a high place, and to @JamesLee give a little foray to others, I know that you try to put as much work as possible in your videos but give some chance to others, on this site there are many artists as deserving of attention.

Woo, another great month of games! Congratulations to all of the game devs who won and all the others for bringing us great games to play: this month really caught me off-guard with the sheer amount of entries that kept coming in, but I guess it makes sense with all the cool game jams that were popping off!


The top picks are pretty solid, but I'm happy to see that @Ferociter and his latest game will be getting a small prize based off of my rankings! I'm surprised to see both their game as well as @MarsUnderground didn't get a lot of attention considering they were my top 2, but that's what I'm here for, to hopefully get some eyes on stuff that might've been missed!




As a beat-em-up fan, I felt blessed to have two entries this month! I'm glad to see that Punch Monkey made it to the top, but don't forget to check out this one from @BrianGatorComic if you're starving for more!



Moving on from that: the new monthly voting system was very neat to use with its new organizational tools that help sort and narrow down the choices, and the new scheduling change is nice as well as it means less of that awkwardness with last-minute entries coming in and being unsure where the break-off point is.


While we're changing things up, one piece of feedback I'd like to offer would be to let the main games page allow you to see the game's short description when you hover over them: it's a bit weird that it's the only place where you can't see that description when it's shown practically everywhere else! I've made a little game out of it in my reviews where I see if I can guess what the game is by thumbnail alone which is fun, but it'd be nice to have more information!

Holy crap! Why is it that every time the Nox animation comes up he always has to, but it has to come first? Every time! No matter how much exp to vote I collect and no matter how I purposely inflate the smaller animations purposely leaving out Nox's animations well he will always be in first place! Sorry I got so carried away, I had to shout it out. I'm glad that at least Metrogeneric is in second place and Bunny3 in third place, because in my opinion @Ennuikal and @Jaquin deserve such a high place, and to @JamesLee give a little foray to others, I know that you try to put as much work as possible in your videos but give some chance to others, on this site there are many artists as deserving of attention. Please don't cancel me.
I think you're taking invisible pixel awards too seriously.


I think you may be right. It's a little frustrating to me when you want others to be able to rank high and still, despite your efforts and sincere intentions, someone else will be in first place.

I've made a little game out of it in my reviews where I see if I can guess what the game is by thumbnail alone which is fun, but it'd be nice to have more information!


We are overdue to bring that into the large thumbnail format, for desktop users at least!

Woo, another great month of games! Congratulations to all of the game devs who won and all the others for bringing us great games to play: this month really caught me off-guard with the sheer amount of entries that kept coming in, but I guess it makes sense with all the cool game jams that were popping off!

The top picks are pretty solid, but I'm happy to see that @Ferociter and his latest game will be getting a small prize based off of my rankings! I'm surprised to see both their game as well as @MarsUnderground didn't get a lot of attention considering they were my top 2, but that's what I'm here for, to hopefully get some eyes on stuff that might've been missed!

As a beat-em-up fan, I felt blessed to have two entries this month! I'm glad to see that Punch Monkey made it to the top, but don't forget to check out this one from @BrianGatorComic if you're starving for more!

Moving on from that: the new monthly voting system was very neat to use with its new organizational tools that help sort and narrow down the choices, and the new scheduling change is nice as well as it means less of that awkwardness with last-minute entries coming in and being unsure where the break-off point is.

While we're changing things up, one piece of feedback I'd like to offer would be to let the main games page allow you to see the game's short description when you hover over them: it's a bit weird that it's the only place where you can't see that description when it's shown practically everywhere else! I've made a little game out of it in my reviews where I see if I can guess what the game is by thumbnail alone which is fun, but it'd be nice to have more information!


He's really fast.
