BOTTOM 512 — Week 7 — Poll 22

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

Baba Is You is a brilliant little puzzle game that puts all the tools and all the power to make and break rules into your hands, and makes you feel creative while solving set-piece puzzles. Pretty remarkable feat.

Well put. Although I'd say that surely some of them allow for (and intentionally allow for) multiple solutions. Although I don't suppose you were suggesting that wasn't the case.

Anyway, brilliant game. One of the many good games that are actually just about programming.

Mario Maker 2 is a lot of fun, and I love it, but it's a somewhat tame iteration on the also good original. Baba is too novel to not give the nod here.
You got BOOST power!
