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!
I'm giving max votes to Picross S5 here, and not just because it's a new Picross game and I like Picross. This one actually includes better colour-blindness support for its colour Picross mode (a mode where you have to select a specific colour for each cell you fill in, based on the clues). This has been a longstanding complaint of mine from the previous Picross S games—it made the mode almost unplayable without guessing, which is the opposite of what is supposed to happen in a logic game. Anyway, glad they finally addressed it! Full marks for that from me.
I also cast two votes for Super Win the Game, an NES-style action-platformer-explorer with a lot of similarities to e.g. Zelda II. This Old Neon wrote about it. That's the link.
Finally, one vote for Dragon Force.
