Best of July 2020

[TomFulp]

@PuffballsUnited has released The Henry Stickmin Collection on Steam! He's give us so many great free games over the years and this would be a great time to give back by snagging a copy!

Today is the 18th birthday of Alien Hominid! You can still play it on NG without Flash, thanks to @Mike and Ruffle.rs.

Your votes are in and the Best of July have been determined!

The top-ranked animation based on original material and winner of $250 is COMEDY, congrats @SrPelo!

Congrats @Shigloo, @Flashgitz, @PringusMcDingus, @meatcanyon and @Fantishow on your winning entries, as well!

The upcoming two best games for August will also receive $100 each.

Congrats err'buddy! Also: @Luis... first!

[BrokenMOJO]

That Luigi's Mansion animation by Shigloo was seriously good.

[FutureCopLGF]

What an exciting month of games! I think this might've been one of my hardest months to decide the top 10 (glad to see a lot of my top choices were agreed on though), and with the prizes being introduced, I imagine it's only gonna get harder, haha! August is already starting off strong with Bonkers, a rare entry into the punch-em-up genre from @milkbarjack: been looking forward to another game from them ever since Duane Crashers. I dunno if I can last, waiting till the end of the month to play it; might just need to change up my rules a bit just so I can get my hands on it earlier! Congrats to all the winners and hope all the game devs out there keep up the good work!

[Manderby]

Congratulations to all winners! And follow-uppers!

[RobertClock]

Hope you kids have your Clock Day cartoons ready to go!!

Happy Birthday Alien Hominid. You're one of the best GameCube games to own!

Can't wait to play the newest game in the series on the Switch.
