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!

I really liked Portrait of Ruin. EWJ is also great and very unique. Shame the guy that came up with him sucks so much.

I only voted for Super Star Soldier here. Fantastic vertical shooter. I don’t think I’ve played Portrait of Ruin....

Portrait was my least favourite DS 'castlevania, but still a good 'castlevania nonetheless. I gave my big vote to NetHack instead for being one of the best Roguelikes in the original sense of the term. Also tossed one vote to Super Star Soldier.
