Every month I see to review all of the games that were nominated as the Best of that month, which you can view in the link above!

As a game developer myself, I know how difficult it can be when you are starting out and how tricky it can be to tell how your game will be received by users. After all, you know how your game is meant to be played, and you can't just wipe that from your memory when you're building and testing it!

Therefore, I record myself playing all of the games for the first time for 10-15 minutes and try to voice how I'm feeling when I'm playing it, so that developers can see how a user might experience their game for the first time, especially for things like tutorials. I also try to provide some advice as well, but it might not always be the best: what I'm really hoping is that developers can draw their own conclusions on what might need work from how I stumble through their game.

MY PERSONAL ARBITRARILY-RANKED TOP 10 GAMES OF THE MONTH

My Top 10 was (in sort-of ranked order and based on my own criteria which is some weird sense of 'memorability' for me personally and totally subject to genres I like and I don't feature an author twice even if they had two good entries so as to spread the love etc etc):

And here are some Honorable Mentions (games that were close contenders for the top, additional games from an already highlighted dev this month, games that are still demos but promising, games that are clones of existing games but still good, etc):

Thanks to all the portal warriors that sifted through all games to find the best in the bunch for me to check out in the first place! And as always, even if your game wasn't listed by me personally, hold your head high as I enjoyed playing all of them nonetheless as they are, after all, the best of the month!

So glad I was able to get my Flash Forward Jam game done in time! Thanks to everyone that played it: was happy to see so many people beat it or, even though they couldn't make it all the way due to the hardcore difficulty, still enjoy their experience nonetheless! Now I'm back to working on my shooter game in Unity...assuming I can remember how to code in Unity after delving into Flash so hard. Maybe I should just stay in Flash, haha!

I'm currently working on something for the upcoming Flash Forward jam: as much as I have a big project I've been working slowly on, I couldn't help but get inspired to do a little project. Also, it should let me remember what it's like to be the one being reviewed, and keep me in check for how I should act as a reviewer for future, haha. (Might be reaching out for an artist and a composer, if anyone is interested in dealing with my shaky leadership) Here's hoping I can make it to the finish line in time!

(Yes, I'm a little surprised I put Pico Vs Bear DX and Peter's Quest in Top 10 as well considering all the issues I had with them. What can I say? Despite all that, I found myself going back to play 'em over and over, and that's a powerful quality I gotta recognize!)

Apologies if I seemed more of a grinch than usual this week, haha. While I do feel like I need to be a harsh critic to offset the fact that game developers usually will not get any criticism at all, only praise, since they usually get it reviewed by friends and family, sometimes I worry I overdo it. As usual, I enjoy playing all of the games here, so Merry Tanksmas all!
