+    * bort: this game is cool. i think it's better than //[[game:candy box]]//.
+    * tacotaskforce: Oh holy shit. If I had made a game, it would be this.
+    * gary oldman dwarfism: It is way better than //candy box//, although I wish the combat were handled differently. Keyboard shortcuts, at least.
+    * shrugtheironteacup: The way it reveals the nature of the wider setting so plainly is excellent.

+    * spectralsound: [[people:amon26|Amon]]'s best, for my money. takes his lucid-nightmare aesthetic and creates a fully-realized world out of it. controls might be a little unresponsive until you adjust to them.
   * **//Intruded//** - [[http://asmallgame.com/games/intruded/|Play]]
     * BaseballKappe: Oh man, that's a pretty thorough exploration of [[genre:survival_horror|survival horror]]'s [[pattern:tank_controls|awkward tank controls]] and [[patter:fixed_camera|obfuscating camera angles]]. This is really neat.
+  * **//Kingdom//** - [[http://www.noio.nl/2013/10/kingdom/|Play]]
+    * The Blueberry Hill: A mechanically simple game about building up and staying safe in a castle. Eventually gets a bit dull, but for twn or so waves it works really well.

+    * Take It Sleazy: //Ripple Dot Zero// is pretty much the exact platformer I have wanted to play for a long time. It's like a [[company:treasure|Treasure]] game I can actually play and enjoy all they way through! Which probably means it's way too easy and mechanically unsatisfying for you hardcore heads.
+    * Haven't seen a "normal" [[genre:platformers|platformer]] this well executed in a long time.

     * vision: I think I like the economy of the game more than anything, both aesthetic and mechanic, as well as the bare(st of) controls. It's the type of game I would feed more quarters into if I had the opportunity.
