Best of February 2022

[TomFulp]

Heads, due to popular request we've extended the Flash Forward Jam deadline to April 20th. There won't be any more extensions! Pico Day is gonna happen on June 11th and we'll have prizes for movies, games, art and audio like last year. Announcement is upcoming but if you want to help build the prize fund, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards Pico Day. You can specify a category, too!

March 15 update: Winners of the One Btn Bosses high score competition have been announced!

Top Five Animation

The top-ranked animation based on original material and winner of $250 is Satina. Congrats, @scumhouse!

@Andyl4nd and @9Hammer will each receive $100 for 2nd and 3rd based on original material.

These prizes will continue next month thanks to our ongoing sponsors @A-Non-E-Moose, @53xy83457 and @olskoo!

If you would like to contribute to our animation prize fund, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards animation prizes.

Top Five Games

The top game based on original material and winner of $200 is Ballfrog. Congrats @rhys510 and @komix! 

Worldly Defense was under consideration, since plenty of games share similar mechanics and sharing mechanics with Wordle could be viewed the same way. Stepford was down for having the prize passed down the line, though.

The 2nd-3rd winners of $100 each are /tilt/ and Undergrave!

These prizes will continue next month thanks to our ongoing sponsors @A-Non-E-Moose, @Manderby, @53xy83457 and @olskoo.

They aren't eligible for the prize.

Which I get.. and I know Rena gets. I'm just sassing Mr. Tom. :)

Congrats to all the game devs that made some more great games this month! There wasn't as much on offer this month as usual (probably tuckered out after Pixel Day's flood, haha), but that doesn't mean the quality has gone down in the slightest. And hey, I was glad to have a little break myself so I could continue work on the upcoming Flash Forward jam: looking forward to everyone's entries with that!

Haha, got it now! Argh, I'm spinning way too many plates that I can barely keep up: I'll try and slow down a bit!

Nah mate, @TomFulp ROBBED me here! Feel like I got barebacked with a spiked dildo over this ROBBERY!!! This slight has brought SHAME upon me, my family, and the Clock Crew!!! I WILL HAVE MY JUSTICE!!!

I am kidding, I am honoured that so many people voted for it, I really didn't anticipate it being so popular, I might have to add in a few more options.

I totally get why I don't get the prize, but I deserve atleast a $10 Google Play card right guys? I need to buy some lootboxes in <current trendy game>!!!

Good job to all who made the lists! Except @Stepford because that game conned me into playing a word game, I thought it was tower defence!

[DoctorStrongbad]

February is the shortest month, but it felt so long this year. Hopefully, March is much better for us all.

[Cyberdevil]

Lotta good stuff this time. Congrats to the winners!

[spoiler911]

I can't believe Scorchwater Valley didn't steal the show! I thought that one was hands down the best of the bunch!

[Piss]

thank you thomas

[JunkYardAnimations]

Great Job Everybody!!! Well Deserved! <3

I believe exactly the same, and I expected the Top 5 to be different, including stuff like LiteralHat too, but well...
