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 the 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!

Haha, oh man I watching you play, I’ve never seen anyone with less sense of urgency! I thought having “Dash” in the name would convey the need for speed, but obviously not. That’s on me I guess!
And with regards to the time being huge, it’s because each level’s time defaults to 60 minutes and the idea is to reduce it to a few seconds (if a level takes you longer than a minute or so, you dun goofed!). If you click the clock icon on the level select you can see all your times.

Haha, never estimate just how badly I can screw things up! But yeah, I was definitely a bit slow on my initial run, but my runs afterwards were quite swifter when I learned I could hold the key down and sweep to fill entire rows.
