Hey all! I thought I would share a few entries that I came across that deserve shout-outs! Please also share your highlights in the comments :)

Tailor Arena

Battle your patchwork "pocket monsters" against each other. This one claims to be a tech demo, but it feels like an excellent cut to me! The style and theme are really inspired, and the battle mechanics are solid (even if the UI is an early draft). I would love to see an evolution of this one!

G-News

If you are worried about ~~gnomes~~, there is absolutely gnothing to worry about here. You can rest easy gnowing that there are gnone here! Gnone whatsover! In-jokes aside, the comical artwork and musical composition bring this simple manic-clicker to life. Seriously, it was a joy from start to finish.

Tiny Tiny Tribes

Build your tiny tribe with warriors, archers, mages, and more to protect your fire from waves of eldritch, blocky horrors. This is another solid design with straightforward mechanics. With some more polish, this could be a great release!

** Tiny Apple Dispense the grumbling and spread the love. This is a charming "idle" game that proves AAA art is not required for an entertaining experience.

That's all for now! It's been a shorter week for me. See you all in Week 2 of ratings!
