    Numbers 7 and 8 really should be both numbered 7, since it was a tie.

    Congrats, Xerus! I’m a bit disappointed that the IFs didn’t make a stronger showing on the top ten.

    Not new, people always seem to do that here….

  18. Malasdair said 1 day later:

    Verge was totally fun! I just wish it had been more Lovecraftian. I’m glad Lost in Eldritch made it in the top 5, those chunky running physics made my Xmas.

  19. ssidbroadcast said 1 day later:

    I got to try out Verge for like, 5 minutes on my brother’s PC laptop. It’s a shame that this compo barely got any Mac love. :/

  20. Adamski said 3 days later:

    I bet if this game was scored on originality Lost in Eldrich would’ve beaten Verge by miles. I loved the atmostphere that game had.

  21. yes said 3 days later:

    Adamski is never pleased.

  22. Adamski said 3 days later:

    Not when people are constantly influenced by Cave Story. It’s a great game and a great style, but people need to set a trend and stop following one.

  23. BMcC said 3 days later:

    This competition wasn’t “scored” at all. It was an open vote. If more people voted for any other game, that game would have beaten Verge. But that didn’t happen.

  24. shaddup said 3 days later:

    Gee you you sure hit the nail on the head Adamski *rolls eyes*

    I don’t like Cave Story and I though Verge was the funnest game of the compo, hands down. THAT IS ALL. It was just more fun than any other game.

    Quit it with the Cave Story comparisons, people… for those who think it’s funny, you’re wrong, and for those who take it seriously, I feel sorry for you.

  25. headcrab. said 3 days later:

    Get over it, winning a tigs compo has no meaning beyond a frontpage blurb such as this one. Lay off and let kyle have his 15 minutes, it’s the most he’s gonna get.

    Before going back to his two-man romeo pie development team, or whatever. vp of marketing…

  26. xerus said 3 days later:

    YEAH. Wait. I cant tell if that was a shot at me or not. haha

  27. shinygerbil said 4 days later:

    he’s probably from that rival company Juliet Cake.

  28. xerus said 6 days later:

    No, our rival company is Pie Devil Studios.

  29. Adamski said 7 days later:

    Too many people in these comments thread are ripping off Cave Story’s dialog.
