Bottom 1024 — Week 32 — Poll 15

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 Saturday... or Sunday or 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!

Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is a cute albeit rudimentary platformer with a good central gimmick and some clunky controls. It's a nice little technical prelude to what the Drinkbox team could actually go on to do with Guacamelee, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the overall design & execution quality of that game. Nice for them to iron the kinks out before their masterpiece, I suppose.

I'm voting for Rock Band here. RB3 (along with Beatles RB) was the pinnacle of the plastic instruments genre. RB4 was pretty much just a port to a new system at that point (and adding support for real instruments, to compete with that dud real instrument game, which I don't think did it any favours).
