I've voted for Eek! It's one of the only 2 i've played, plus it was really fun. The music really fit the theme of it, plus the graphics were amazing. The puzzles were challenging at times, which prevented the player from getting bored. The progamming goes beyond what I can do, plus it definately would have been time draining. Overall, i think Eek! deserves it, and Grindalf asell for the time he put into it.

It's an obvious fact of life, TKGB. I can't force people to play everything, it's their choice. The important thing is at least they're playing some and willing to give some form of feedback.

Pancake Stack was a great game given its context, but in overall packaging it doesn't quite compare with Grindalf's works.

I just played Eek for the first time and offered my Have Your Say. It was really tough between Eek and Fishbate. With Fishbate, we have a fun adventuring sidescroller, and I love side scroller platformers. With Eek, we re-iterate the Lemmings experience, a game I really liked as a kid.

It was hard to pick, but I had to go with Eek since it was more fresh in my memory.

Well I dunno why we gotta say our piece instead of keeping it confidential but I guess it'll help the final voting or your are exercising your mod powers at us.

Anyways I had trouble choosing which one I wanted to win (besides mine anyways TBD ). In the end I choose Fishbate but this was not because of fun factor but because it was the one that changed my view of the TK. Because of that, I made an attempt to make a sidescroller. I would've never attempted that if it wasn't for this game. Fishbate showed me that the TK was capable of doing more than just RPG's and that's what I always wanted. Yes, Galaxy Fighter was first and Eek! was more advance, but Fishbate was the one that opened my eyes. That and Sprite Wars but that's not present here.

Ive voted for Pizza blob.
although Pancake stack had some amazing codeing it wasnt a game I was willing to replay that many times. Pizza blob was fun and addictive(and had some great codeing in it aswell) I have to apolagize because Ive never played dark day rising(beyond 5 mins) so I cant really vote for that one.

i vote for Eek because of several reasons:

1) the grafics are great, and the fact me made the boards only using rpgcode is something i still find awesome.

2) iīm not a great fan of the music, but it fitīs so perfectly that i have to mention it.

3) the levels were great, really well made, it made me think on how to solve them, and the best part is.... i actually solved them.

and thatīs why i voted for Eek

I voted for Fishbate because well, I've always been drawn to love, side scrolling , enemy stomping , gravity defying jumps , floating landscape , and silly characters :3
I love the way it plays, although of course, its pretty slow on my computer, but that was to be expected.

Eek, because it's a TK version of one of my favorite games, Lemmings.
And because Grindalf made it...

Congrats Grindalf on your narrow win TBD

I was really shocked by the way this went this year. when I saw the lineup I really thought it would be between Fishbate and Garquest, I figured pizza blob wouldent get many votes because I know not that many people downloaded it. But I was really shocked by Pancake stacks votes(no offence to Asimir, Its an awesomly coded, well designed game) I really think that fishbate is better than Eek, maybe its because I was a little disapointed with Eek. Anyway YAY I WON.

I only read this when the poll had already closed (probably because of time zone differences) but even with only two votes I'm honoured to be on this list. Congrats Grindalf, I would have voted for Eek, as I was a huge fan of Lemmings back in the days.
