10. Room
Original mechanic. That's always refreshing.
9. Cursed Travels
Just can't get into games you have to read captions or slides to follow. That seems kind of late-'80s. Likewise the whole monochrome-8bit thing, though the artwork here is unusually good for that quirky little subgenre.
8. Cyadonia
I like sliding-block puzzles and this was a good one. Nice job of avoiding no-win scenarios calling for a reset.
7. Boxing Up Bamboo
Lump me in with the other feckless nincompoops who couldn't make sense of this game. I'm sure it's just because the game is more clever than I am.
6. Curious Fishing
8bit again. Not my thing.
5. Ssspicy!
Cute.
4. N Step Steve: Part 2
Some mechanics make perfect sense, and this was one of them. But solving algebra problems also makes perfect sense and I don't do that for fun. This one just seemed... maybe "overwrought" is the right word.
3. Stars Align
That rare PuzzleScript game that is fun for those of us who tend not to like PuzzleScript games. Some terrific levels here.
2. Trace
Awesome! My personal favorite on this list. Clues made sense, world was rich, and the whole experience was enjoyable.
1. Give Up the Ghost
Surprised to see this take first place. Good example of what it is. Can't see a reason to give it Best of the Year, but this isn't my blog.
Overall, a year of too many PuzzleScript games, not enough 3D adventures. But we always like seeing what Bart has to offer.
I used to not like PuzzleScript games a whole lot until I played Remnant Labs.
I am surprised it was not on the list at all. MetroidVania PuzzleScript! Neonesque makes some great stuff.
Some of the other entries...
Any "Step" Steve is always a great puzzle to solve.
Room was fantastic and a whole lot of fun.
Ferociter's Cursed Travels was really satisfying.
Give up the Ghost melted my brain.
Trace was incredible.
Happy New Year Bart! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next :-)
So, I know I said this many many months ago, but I think six-sided-streets was the game of the year. For me anyways I did enjoy Room quite a bit, that was fun and not listed but super fun was otteretto, but, for me anyways, six sided streets..... that was a simple masterpiece.
Anyways, THANKS BART for another year (I cant believe how long you've been doing this, wow) of an amasingly curated games list to help kill the downtime, it's been great this year, and every year before, hopefully many more years to come.
