A topic to show appreciation for games you think deserve more recognition!

Did you come across some great and/or interesting games that don't seem to get noticed? Post it here!


Rules:

1. Don't advertise your own game. There are 300 other topics dedicated to that.

2. Choose a game with less than 30 (preferably less than 20) ratings that impressed you.

3. Explain what it is you appreciated about the game.


The game I'd like to start with is A Hole In Space by CleverAI.

It's a game where you play as a black hole and suck stars out of a galaxy. The game mechanics have issues, but the game really impressed me with its beauty and sense of scale. It depicts the vastness of space in a way I've never experienced before.

There are a few other games I'd like to point out, but I'll start with this one.


I made this post in hopes of coming across some great and/or unique games I never would have found otherwise, so keep them coming!

This game is fun and you can really feel that the developer put a lot of effort in it. I think it deserve more attention.

Great game, innovative new mechanic, that's interesting to control

A game about stopping viruses from infecting a computer.

In terms of "game juice", this one takes the cake. Very solid game-play, and great presentation.

Only downside is that it has nothing to do with the theme "holes".

This game only has 9 ratings as of time of this post.

Thank you DeanAseraf1, JUSTCAMH and TheCakeConsortium for the input! All those games are new to me, so will be happy to check them out! If you know other games you wish to share, please do.

I was planning to post 1 game per day, but there's not much time left, so here's 2 for today.

Wormhole by KomradeKev. It's a game where you build a rocket with a limited amount of time and money, and fly into a wormhole. It's an interesting take on resource management.

The other one is Dodeca Surfer by a team of 3 people. The gameplay is very polished and feels responsive, and I think many people would enjoy it if they tried it.

Here’s another awesome game with few ratings;

It’s like Pokémon, but with holes!

Thank you for posting another game JUSTCAMH. I played that one and the others mentioned before, interesting stuff!

Today I'll point out a couple of games for their originality:

Bucato! is a game where you fly as a hand, trying to get your forefinger through OK-hands.

Em-Mental is a game where you try to move marbles through a cheese without letting it fall into the craters. You do this by pulling strings of a toy mouse.

I've got a feeling nobody's playing these, but what the heck. Might as well keep going.

Alibi is a game where you interview three murder suspects and condemn one of them. It has a gritty noir-like tone, with art style reminiscent of "Papers, Please".

The Hole Moon is a charming platformer about a girl saving her dog, where you use the dog in creative ways to solve puzzles.

Coma is a very creative puzzle game about time travel.

It's got just under 30 ratings but it deserves so many more!

Very good riddle game with nice mechanics. It's a shame that it has so less attention, but that's probably due the huge amount of entries.

Thank you VoxelTwyst and CleverAI for pointing those out! Both are good games!

Today's recommendations from me (possibly last ones):

The (W)hole Planet is a relaxing experience where you drive around a planet filled with holes and a black hole in the center of it. At 17 ratings.

The Dungeon is a game where you walk around as an eyeball, swapping between two dimensions and solving puzzles. At only 8 ratings.

Don't know if this ones been posted but I really liked the idea. He's at 19 reveiws so go get him the bump he needs to qualify https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574256?before=16#post-1243158

Here's another deserving game, hopefully it can get a few more ratings before the end of the jam!

It's kinda like super hexagon, but instead it's an infinite runner. There's a lot of good design in here, and variations in the generation kept it fresh for quite a while.

Here's a must play game

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574171

It's a rocket builder sim, then once built, you need to fly the ship into a worm hole minigame. There's some serious effort put into this game, the graphics are great, there's a cast of unique employees to hire and a heap of parts that change how your ship behaves in the worm hole minigame. Seriously cool game, definitely worth your time.
