#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 248

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:

This is a pool full of good sleeper games. I would have tossed votes at Alien Soldier and Full Throttle too, but my hands were full. BIG votes for one of my favourite games from last year (or was it the year before... we TONed about it, anyway), Hexologic, a very well-executed logic puzzler.

Also had to give votes to Grindstone, a previously Apple Arcade exclusive puzzler from Capybara Games that recently (this week) found its way to Switch.

2 votes for Hexologic, nice puzzler
1 vote for Grindstone. Just played a few levels on Apple Arcade where I can play it for free, wouldn't have tried it otherwise.
