In reply to Ken Cone. Well I had previously had the top 10 up, and I wish I had waited on that even. You guys are the dudes behind Andy's Notepad? Fancy that, because I had downloaded your game and put it on deck to be reviewed next. God help you! (haven't played it yet, looking forward to it, good luck)

Why don’t you put up some google ads? They’re so common now that I just ignore them when I see them, but you’ll still get paid!! 🙂

Also your mentioning of epilepsy reminded me about a scene in Indie Game: The Movie. If you watch it and get to the scene where Phil Fish takes his old computer out to show some games he made when he was a kid, CLOSE YOUR EYES!!! One of the games just flickers from black to white really quickly.

Also #2, you should just categorize the games yourself with names like: punisher, shovelware, boobies, hello world, party game (local multiplayer)… It’s useful for your readers, and helpful for the google.

Just FYI, when you say, “but still, I wish I had waited until today to put it up”, don’t you mean hadn’t?

Otherwise, this is a cool post, thanks!

I’ve got an idea for you. What if you wrote a post defining what these types of games are? I know there are definitions out there, but one short page defining the genres that are listed on XNA would be really cool! (I’d do it myself, but I don’t really know all the genres…)

By the time we released Andy’s Notepad [Saucers], we had changed the genre three times! (I’m still not sure we got it right.)
