Me and my team have finished rating 200 games, and I’d like to take a moment to pick some of my favorites that I’d hope you’ll try out.<\/p>\n

I’m going to present two different lists: one of games that I see as particularly well designed, and another for games that are awesomely weird.<\/p>\n

Kumiho<\/a><\/p>\n

A beautiful vertical-scrolling shooter with a wonderfully animated squid boss and a very well balance of difficulty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Phobius<\/a><\/p>\n

A puzzle platformer that has one of the more rare takes on the concept of “Tiny World” by having the game mechanics revolve around your blue nerd dude’s claustrophobia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Big Bad Dom Finds a Little Happiness<\/a><\/p>\n

I really have to wonder what the combat system would have looked like. (The author has declared it to be Not For Human Consumption. I suggest you violate his wishes in a bizarre reversal of power roles.)<\/p>\n
