I found some pretty cooI games that stood out from the rest, so let’s check them out!
Goooooood morning fellow gamers and welcome to this week’s review of, ‘man that’s sweet!’
We’ve noticed a difference in the games being published this week, and I’m happy to say that quite a few of you have been trying out and building some pretty cool stuff. Quite a few of the feature games this week are unfinished or unpolished games, but offer some nice gameplay that we hope will continue to be developed. So onto my game of the week:

We’ve made it easy for you to make games with Gamefroot, but making a GOOD game is something you have to put a bit more effort into. A good game will keep the player interested, engaged, and coming back for more – and that will ultimately be reflected in your game’s play count and comments.
