February 2023 Game Awards

Like a lion, March is here, and that means it's time to celebrate Itch.io games I reviewed in February using award categories stolen from another publication. As is tradition. This month, our template comes from the latest issue of Game Informer (Vol. XXXIII / No. 2 / Issue 353; Resident Evil 4 remake on the cover), mostly because I idly flipped open a copy last week and landed on the "Best Dork" category.

Game of the Week

The competition is tough, but I think this just might be the worst week to date. Which game is the best amongst this crowd of stinkers? What could it possibly be? Can you feel the suspense?

Price: Name your own price

Included In: Bundle for Ukraine

Genre: Shooter

Pitch: A horizontal shoot-them-up set in space.

My expectations: The overly smooth, shiny, pre-rendered art style, with all its mismatched pieces, is so working for me. Itch doesn't usually attract the harshest critics for free, little indie games, but the average user review score is a shockingly low 1.3/5. Good or bad, I'm psyched to take a crack at this for myself.
