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!
Kickle Cubicle is a... top-down room-puzzler? Is there a genre name for these? Kind of like the Lolo games, anyway, but with a different aesthetic and mechanic. Anyway, no one else I talked to growing up had ever heard of or played this game, so I started to believe I had dreamed it up.

I actually just played through Kickle Cubicle for the first time last week and loved it. I think it is much better than the Adventures of Lolo games. I really liked how the main story levels were fairly simple the whole way through, but then the post game levels really make you think how to finish them.
Outlast only here. I just love that game. I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Final Fight because I didn’t want to dilute my Outlast votes
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Yes! Nice. What prompted you to play it?

I bought a copy of Kickle Cubicle a couple of weeks at a local retro game store. It had long been on my radar has a game to play, because I had heard a bunch of people recommend it or wish for it to show up on the Virtual Console over the years. I think the first time I ever heard of it was when Nintendo Power listed it as one of the best 100 games ever on a Nintendo console back in their 100th issue.
Another great NES puzzle game that's often overlooked is Fire'n Ice/Solomon's Key 2. I was lucky to find a cheap copy of the Famicom cartridge last year and I was totally addicted once I started playing it. I loved that they essentially took out all of the action from the first Solomon's Key and just focused on the puzzles. I always found Solomon's Key to be too chaotic and stressful to really make any progress in it.
Oddly enough, one reason why I preferred Kickle Cubicle over Adventures of Lolo is because it Kickle had more action in it. Lolo also required you to perfectly execute the solutions for each room, but Kickle was often much more free and open in design (at least in the main story levels).
Side note: Has Fire'n Ice ever been nominated for this project?

Fire 'n Ice was nominated one time, by one person (you!), in the 2019 Project. As a previous project nominee, it has indeed appeared in #BGE2020; in the first round pool 215, it got 4 votes—1 from Pluvius and 3 from you. It hasn't appeared in round two yet.
