#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 230

[This Old Neon]

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 just played through Layton recently. Still a very charming puzzle game. Fantastic music too.

Oh man, where all my old bags at? Alien Hominid is one of the purest run & guns from the lovely folks at The Behemoth. Before they made beat'em-ups beautiful with Castle Crashers, they did it for run & guns with this game.

I really tried to get into Alien Hominid (the 360 port) but just couldn't. Maybe I should give it another try. Wouldn't be the first time giving a game a second chance has worked out for me. I'll keep it in mind.
