Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set 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 later this year.

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!

Fez is beautiful. Between this, Castle Crashers, and Geometry Wars, this early round is giving me serious XBLA indie prime nostalgia!

Fruit ninja OMG that brings back memories.

3 for F-Zero, 2 for Hotline Miami. Fruit Ninja was a lot of fun on Kinect! Alas, that's not the version here.

It's the only version in the competition right now. Fortunately, thanks to this new format, there's still time to slap it into January's nomination thread if you want to!

Oh, interesting! Glad you mentioned that. And it's open all Jan?

Yep, although that deadline is largely organizational. There'll be another nomination thread in February, which allows us to continue to nominate new games as the contest carries on.
