In the Heat of the Jungle
By Rob Husband
Game Background
Our Take
Somehow you've found yourself in a very hot jungle. It's so
hot you'll die of dehydration within minutes if you don't
find a pool from which to drink water. You can only carry
one thing at a time, so make it count. Will you escape?
Probably not.
The game looks nice and is well deserving of Best Flair. If it didn't have some basic (and easily fixed) usability issues (bet you didn't know you could press 'P' to use things), it probably would have earned higher overall marks.

E'th
By SiegeLord
Game Background
Our Take
You control a planet that is trying to capture photographs
of nearby spaceships. With some fine maneuvering you'll be
able to get close enough to take pictures of each one. Along
the way, you can upgrade your planet to make it a bit easier—if
you don't mind sacrificing some hard earned points.
Within the context of its simplicity, this is a nice looking game. But more importantly there's no loose ends here. It has the feel of a game that was finished from end-to-end.

Battle of the Dolls
By Gideon Weems
Game Background
Our Take
What's going on? Nobody knows. Let's just quote from the readme:
"The world has been turned on its head. Dogs walk their owners. Children scold their parents. And dolls play with little girls.
You are one of the dolls. Having grown bored with simply playing, the giant dolls have begun hurling little girls across continents. Many dolls have died in these skirmishes, and a select few have grown even stronger on their rise to the top.
Matryoshka. Flamenco. Barbie. These are the great perpetrators of evil who must be stopped at all costs."
The screenshot doesn't do justice. Well, it almost does. But you cannot hear the music that was recorded live. You'll just have to play the game to appreciate it.
