#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 37

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.

The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming... realistically in early 2021.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.
  • You have 6 total votes to distribute.
  • You can only select up to 3 options.
  • You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
  • NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
  • The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.
EXAMPLES
  • You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
  • If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
  • If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).
This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!

If you have questions, ask before voting! :neon:

Gate of Thunder is one of the only shmups that has really grabbed me. One day I swear I'll finish it. Rockin soundtrack too.

Rayman is way too hard, but it was one of my first video games, so it gets a vote.
You got BOOST power!

Gate, yes. Also tossing one spare vote to Low G Man, which I'm sure only Pluvius and I have played, and I'm also sure I'm only still voting for out of nostalgia.

2 votes for Super Mario Run .. don't play it as much as I did after it launched, but the full game is fun enough and challenging
Also 2 votes for Turok Evolution .. despite some hard to get through levels I enjoyed playing this entry in the Turok series
