Oh my god!!! I'm seeing this just now but thank you for putting Need for Beer up there :D We started it as a silly project for a school assignment and it's still pretty much just a rough sketch of the final vision (it's on itch.io mainly so we could share it for said assignment) but still this is so cool to see

I saw Horizons: The End Of Words on the Itch's channel and it inspired my game, Star Word: a Scrabble-like Adventure on an alien planet.

I hope it can make it to Itch's YT channel too 🤞

Wow, nice colection!

Man, hope all the people who got on here are having  wonderful day!

Cool.

 Hope when I get my games completed one of them makes it to a list like this.

But what I have released so far is in the game assets section so no matter how well I did with that material obviously it will never qualify due to being in the wrong category.
