All great entries this time round. I've got two more to give a proper play through before I stick my vote in but it's going to be a hard choice this time...  As usual :)

I'm not voting for Tommy Gunn, though. Even though it's the clear winner by a mile :-)

Don't think Qube will let me do that as I stuck him in jail this time. Don't know why he'd be unhappy with that. Could have bumped him off, after all :-)

Trying out the games now folks, got my scoring matrix out..... :o

Hmmm, appreciate bugfix time is over - Stevie could you provide a 'windowed' mode executable of your game - the default full screen resolution does not render to my laptop.   ;)  Ii can hear the sfx, however the screen is just 'black'.....

I'm still dithering here. I have first place decided but it's second and third that's bugging me. Deciding if I should judge just be gameplay alone, or on an impression level. Really think it should just be which game plays the best, even if it's not technically as impressive as another game but it's pretty close.

Dither, dither, dither......

I agree with Adam, all games were pretty (well done guys).  So it's just a case of what grabs you.

I was unable to vote this time because a misbehaving laptop prevented me from running them all! Good job though; they are all impressive.

Did not find any spare time for "playing" ... kids in quarantaine, us air bomb found and evacuated ... so a lot of sparetime stolen.

Will try to play them later.

Oooh, what you got in mind. I think, if I'm brave enough, I might try diversifying and do something in Godot, just for the challenge.
