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

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :/

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.

This Cursed Rock was my personal favourite. It looked really promising.

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