That's an easy one; Tiny Bobble of course

If I could pick 2nd and 3rd it would be "Tiny little Slug" and "Smarty and the Nasty Gluttons".

Oh, and I think you missed "Black Dawn Rebirth" and "Vegetables Deluxe" off the list.

Solo Kazuki · 31 January 2021, 12:14

They are 2019 games which were already in voting lists of 2019 year. AFAIK Floppy Bird and Looty were never mentioned.

Aladin · 31 January 2021, 12:33

@Solo Kazuki

entry error:
Jump BesiLabyrinth 64

perhaps also rename:
Swidron -> Swidron (fix) (1994)
Looty -> Looty (update) (1994: [ Show youtube player ])

Rotator (first version: 1996, they should have called this new version Rotator Deluxe)

other game public realised in 2020:
Little Princess 1 (2014 Night Owl Design)
Little Princess 2 (2015 Night Owl Design)

mcgeezer · 31 January 2021, 13:09

I think you should split the original games from the ports.

Tiny Bobble wins for me but I would have voted for Tiny Slug as an original game.

Gzegzolka · 31 January 2021, 15:01

I vote for Wiz, but if there were option to choose next places it would be Smarty for second, Tinny Bubble for third, Magica for fourth place.

AmyMor · 31 January 2021, 18:53

Tiny Bubble is a spectacular port but, in fact a porting ... For me, Tiny Little Slug wins, a game created ad hoc as we were in 1993, closely followed by WIZ by MutationSoftware.

manossg · 31 January 2021, 18:57

It is a pity you get only one vote, so many good games in this year.

I voted for Tiny Bobble and my other votes would go to Wiz, Magica and Super Wormy.

Although I really like Wiz and Tiny Bobble, I fell in love with Tiny Little Slug last year. That game just got me.

+ 1

Just as I did

Rotator is also a very clever, original game with lot's of levels. The problem to me is that the game become to hard to fast. Else it could have been a classic. I must say Santa Run is also a lot of fun even if it is a short game.
Smarty and the.... is also very good and last but not least Sam's Journey and Wiz is nice.

dreadnought · 31 January 2021, 22:37

Any chance some good soul could put together a pack with the non-commercial ones? Would love to check them out, but tracking them all down could be a bit of work...

andyhants · 01 February 2021, 20:34

Great idea for a thread - obvious I guess but with the recent resurgence in the volume of PD / Homebrew games per year having an annual poll is a great idea

It's nothing new... one usually gets created every year on EAB

i.e: Best Game of 2019 ;-)

saimon69 · 01 February 2021, 23:37

I see Raid Over Moscow missing too, not sure if is considered 2019 or 2020, is missing even from 2019

NeoHippie2016 · 02 February 2021, 23:06

All games above are great (included the works from Iron Gate & Amiten). One word: wow! Sooo many games in 2020!!!

Graham Humphrey · 04 February 2021, 20:27

Some extremely good games came out last year that's for sure. I ended up going for Magica - a pretty much perfectly-formed single-screen arcade-style platformer. It's tremendous fun and extremely well converted from the original.

So let's count Raid Over Moscow as 2020's game
