Congrats to all the winners! Not surprised to see @jontopielski topping the games, loved that one. Of course Team Epico shouldnt have even been on the list, they should be more somewhere akin to top of the universe or such

Congrats to all the winners of May, and thanks to all the game devs for some great games we played this month: there wasn't many as usual, but they certainly weren't lacking in quality as there were some real gems in there! For example, I was pleased to see another entry from puzzle-master @Ferociter with



( who has an upcoming game on Steam over here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1498070/Cursed_Travels_Sunken_City/ )


and I was impressed by first-timers (at least first-timers to me) @Pedroleum with



and @1029chris with



Check 'em out (as well as all of the others if you can, of course!)


Heck, I was glad for the break, but if I know Newgrounds, it's just the tide receding momentarily before we get a flood of Pico Day games, haha! Looking forward to it!
