Judging was done by skeddles and pixelsnorf, who rated each entry on 3 categories:
We picked a tie for the best art, Ace-Pup by Robinson Pixels and Arena by James TDG.
We picked planetcore by Birds Probably and R-Sen Productions because of it’s great art art and music, and being short and engaging.
A very cool animation by Biff, crowater and bsharp, of a robot traversing several environments. Great art (though unfortunately silent).
xfire is a turn-based strategy game where you fight teams of robots by moving around the map and shooting, with different units. It’s got some great art, and was probably the most polished entry.

A futuristic platformer created by solamis7 and minds_mirrors where you play as a knight travelling to different planets. Great art and music, and a really solid and polished game!

There were unfortunately a lot of great entries we couldn’t pick, so here are some that barely missed the cut.

A very cool and relaxing game by Ramsey Nasser where you herd sheep.
A fun puzzling platformer by Sojioto and nicole where you play as a clown, trying to pass through small room with various obstacles and mechanics. They also created another great game, PLONGEUR.
