The deadline for voting is now set at 23:59 GMT on March 20th.

Now it's time to decide the best of the best. The cream of the crop. The cherry on top, the icing on the cake, the toad in the hole... Now I'm just hungry.

It's time to cast your mind back to 2023 and vote for your favourite games among the winning MAGS monthly entries. There are 14 entries to choose from (as we had two winners each in June and September).

Voting is simple. Just choose your best three games in no particular order. The game with the most tallied votes will be the winner.

A few requests before we proceed.

1) Please try to have played as many of the games as possible (preferably all of them). If you really don't have time to play every game, some of them have videos you can watch instead (🎬). I will try to add more videos over the next couple of weeks.
2) Only one submission per person.
3) Please vote for games based on their own merits (visual, enjoyment, puzzles etc.). Don't just vote for your friend or fellow countryman's games.
4) You do NOT have to be logged into a Google account but you will be asked for your AGS forum name for verification purposes.

The winner will be announced as part of the forthcoming AGS Awards ceremony.

Now, here are the games.
As always. Please let me know if I've missed anything.

If anyone can help making videos of some of the games, that would be a great help. Games that currently have videos are marked with this clapperboard 🎬. If you are able, you can PM me the link or just post it below.

Happy voting

Voted.  :)

@The Great Underground Empire I finally got around to playing Worlds Literally Collide, and I have to say, it was hilarious. I really appreciated
Spoiler
the combination of ridiculous humor and references to realistic physics. As a space fan, I was thoroughly amused.  (laugh)

Got stuck with the babies though. I have the gold disc but can't figure out how to use it. All the other entities have been chased away.

To be confirmed. It's all down to when the AGS Award ceremony is set for (late-March-ish). When we know the exact date, I'll close the voting a few days before it.

If I were to make videos, should they be full playthroughs?

Whatever you can do would be great. My personal preference is full playthroughs with no talking over the game audio, but if that's not your style, that's cool. Anything that gives a flavour of the gameplay and graphics, and  shows off some of the puzzles, would be awesome.

OK. Thanks.

I've played all the games, left a comment in the database where available and voted.
Lots of great games this year!

RootBound

My votes have been cast.

I also just want to say thanks for all the new positive comments on Elevation.  :)  It's really heartening and fulfilling to see that little game get some more love all these months later.  :)
