Ours it's almost ready!

Awesome news! So looking forward to playing your game. The graphics are truly beautiful!

Mandle

And, I'd also like to add that this is the first time in ages that I actually got a game finished that is an actual game and playable from start to finish in the actual way it was actually intended to be.

I'm actually actively stoked about this!

Such a good feeling!

As many submissions as there are, I've decided I'm not going to try to rush an inferior product.
Good luck to all, I look forward to playing your games.

Finished! Puzzles are quite linear but oh well, this has been good practice

Hi all. Any chance at a sneak preview of next month's topic? I'm off tonight and would love to start brainstorming.

This is going to be difficult as we have a lot of entries this month...

But everyone is a winner of some kind this month (nod)

Danvzare

Wow, you don't usually see a turnout this big.
Seven games! 8-0
I'm spoiled for choice. :-D

Durinde

This is what I get for trying to be "punny" with a title. :-D

Should be listed as "Strawman Augment" not "Argument" in the poll.

'Cause the game is about a Strawman getting augmented by nanomachines.

Stupot

@Durinde - That might explain why no one laughs at my puns. They're just not paying attention. Sorry about that. I've changed the necessary bits.

I thought it was pretty clever.

No worries. Although a game about two strawman arguing would have been pretty fun.:-D

Durinde

Have to say I'm really impressed by the art in the different games. I saw a couple of really fun pieces of animation and each game has its own unique look and style.

I'll try and write down my thoughts on each game I've played so far before voting:

Scarecrow and his Quest to Find a Brain by Slasher
Spoiler
It has some alright puzzles but the story wasn't too interesting, it was just a simple retelling of the movie without Dorothy participating.
[close]
Black Friday by Danvzare
Spoiler
It had a very typical slasher movie plot, but it was interesting to play as the killer and the voice acting was pretty good.
[close]
Blooded Fields by Nr. 2698
Spoiler
It had a generic intro and premise and the random reference to Jennifer Lawrence was weird, but I cannot really say more since I got stuck early on and couldn't proceed.
[close]
The Strawman Augment by Durinde
Spoiler
It had a kind of cute premise and neat pixel art, but I found the choice of music rather grating.
[close]
STRAWMAN  BOMBING  DISPOSAL by Mandle
Spoiler
It was pretty funny, although the puzzles wasn't really to my taste.
[close]
The Wicked Witch of the West by Cleanic
Spoiler
Lovely pixel art and music, plus there was some good puzzles. All in all a nice short game although I noticed a bug when I tried loading a saved game, the deafault GUI appeared over the top of the screen for some reason, but it didn't hinder gameplay.

I voted for

Black Friday

Mandle

I haven't had time to update my feedback but I have voted for:


Spoiler
Black Friday
[close]


It was the game that had me grinning from ear to ear from start to finish.


Spoiler
Sniper and Spotter also did that for me but I'm a horror movie fan so personal preference pushed Black Friday over the finish line for me.
