The Treasure Trove

With 368 entries, there are inevitably overshadowed games.
So every time you find a hidden gem that deserve more ratings, here is the place to post it and say what makes it stand out.
Let's say it should have less than 20 ratings, but if it has 20-50 and it's just really good, you can post it anyways.
I will also try to do my part.

Now it's time for everyone to go treasure hunting!

JayTea's Intentional Bugs

This weird RTS left me really surprised.
It has a ton of very polished dialogue lines, and the game includes voice acting.

Sadly, it is pretty short.

But everything feels very polished even if incomplete, and if the game was longer, it would be pretty addicting.

*If you press F1 after skipping the first dialogue, a weird rhythm game will start. I haven't figured all the controls though.

Legend of Glitchrun

This is basically a 2D Zelda, but with game-breaking glitches.
I had to follow the cheatsheet because of the complexity of the game,
but the amount of creativity and the polished visuals really makes the game stand out.

When you get the hang of it, this casual game gets very relaxing.
It doesn't stand out for something specifically,
but the mechanics, sounds, music and art together creates a solid casual game.

This definitely deserves more than 4 ratings.

Corrupted

You can't have something that captures more the game jam's topic than this.
And it boggles me that it doesn't have more ratings, because it truly is a hidden gem.

And like all hidden gems, there is more that meets the eye.
Don't just play the game once and leave it at that.

Normal Farm

Farming + tower defense is a genre mix I would've never thought would work.
But it does, and here's the proof!

Guys, we need more games in this list.
If you have the time, search by "least rated" and go hunt those little sneaky hidden gems!

Submitted

That's an amazing move!

Tomorrow I'll search for the least rated and look for those amazing gems
