Best Games of August Review! (with video feedback)

Posted by FutureCopLGF - September 6th, 2022



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.

While all of these games were the best of the month...


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!

Thanks for giving the game a playthrough, and me your feedback. It's always really interesting to see what players actually do when they play the game live.

I love that you played with the icons in the main menu, I lost like 20 minutes or more during development just playing with that whenever I opened the game up.

The Blackjack game was pretty poorly done, the face cards were their order value, and not all just 10. Which is why I quickly changed the name to redjack. And for the hold, if you hold but you would have stayed below 22 when you drew, you fail. Which was obviously not explained well.

Hopefully the next time one of my games ends up in one of your "best of the month" videos it'll be a little more impressive.

Haha, cheers for the insight: I remember being so confused by the outcome that I tried looking up red jack on google afterwards to see the rules, only to just find references to some comic book character! Looking forward to your future projects: loved Sores and Sorcery and that shooter you've been making that dev log for is pretty neat!

Thanks for the Feedback on Dead Fish Clicker! Your ramblings about joke games are very intresting cause I 100% agree haha, if it makes you feel better I have 2 (2.5 ish) projects that I really am putting time and effort in to be web game classics!

As for the clicking, the game was made to be played on mobile so the actual browser clicking isn't up to snuff, I'd change it but eh, don't really care about a dumb clicker game. Respect that you still put thought and effort into me and Benny's little joke games and giving them reviews, it's very epic! But more good stuff is on da way

Haha, glad to hear it! I always worry that me taking the joke games so seriously can be rather silly, but I do like to be consistent and hope that it provides some valuable insight. At the end of the day, as long as you are happy and not feeling pressured or anything like that to make these games, then it's all good: it's probably just how the world works nowadays and I'm rambling like a boomer would, sigh. Anyway, looking forward to whatever you make in the future, be it big games or these small joke ones alike!
