I managed to create 3 new games myself this year: Yellow, Song for a bird and Boo! and I'm full of exciting new ideas for next year. So I hope to see you back in 2018.
I'm wishing you all a very very happy happy 2018! This was BartBonte digging through this year's games for bontegames dot com!

Bart, thank you for another awesome year of bontegames. Always eager to see what you create -- or find -- for all of us to enjoy. Congratulations as well on bontegames' 10-year anniversary! Looking forward to many, many more years! Happy new year to all!
Great list, I remember scratching my head over Vertebrae for instance. Thanks for all your good Bonte games and nice finds!
yes!! thank you for this lineup
Agreed 100% on Big Ice Tower--that may be a perfectly designed 2-D platformer.
And I sank a depressing amount of time into the paperclip game.
