I've mostly avoided commenting on games I did bad fan art for so people would know my opinion of the game didn't affect the art, but this topic is a good place to pick out specific aspects of games I liked, sooo...
*cracks knuckles*
Award For 'Funniest Sound Design'
Goes to Terry Flight, by KDHarrington! I doubled over laughing and wheezing at the sound effects in this game, and I'm not usually a "laughing out loud" kind of person. It was just really unexpected and it added value to the funny visuals as well.
Award For 'Best Crab Racing'
Goes to One Big Desert, by baz! Need I say much more? There was CRAB RACING, and the crabs raced you real good!
Award For 'Most Likely To Make You Contemplate How We're Killing The Planet'
Goes to Precipice, by Nesfero! Piercing question after piercing question. If you answer honestly, instead of what will help you win, it makes you want to think twice about some of the more questionable decisions you make.
Award For 'Most Likely To Make You Feel Like You're In A Scottish High School Graphic Communication Class'
Goes to One Dimension, by Lazertax! This may sound oddly specific, but this game reminds me of learning about orthographic views and how to draw them. I seriously loved it, because my brain goes bonkers for order.
Award For 'Most Stressful Test Of My Multitasking Capabilities'
Goes to Plug, by Flip Table Games! I was incredibly stressed listening to that alarm blaring in my ears, as I am a very bad multitasker. Trying to keep everything running smoothly was a challenge for me, but I like these kinds of challenges.
Award For 'Most Likely To Make You Yearn For Rebellion'
Goes to Only One Way, by AkabaStudio! This entire game is based around the idea of doing as you're told because, as the title suggests, there's only one way to do it. But... well, rebellion is very ingrained within the fabric of this game, shall we say.
Award For 'Best Game To Feel Like A Hacker While Not Doing Any Real Life Crime-ing'
Goes to One Critical Minute, by BWDev! Sometimes, I curse that I'm not a faster typist, and playing this game is one of the "some". However, it did some nice hacking stuff that I liked, and I enjoyed making progress every time I needed to start over. Reminded me of learning to program a fair bit.
Possibly more to come, but taking a break!
