Thanks for sharing! Pretty cool that people makes so much 3D homebrew for the system. As for licensed games, the system's 2D potential is severely underutilized (not so strange considering that the Saturn pretty much filled that hole back in the day), but for homebrew the reverse is true.

This year was actually a bit disappointing compared to the previous. They're all rather unfinished and low effort. Even the one from the previous year's winners has elementary level mistakes, like the floor texture - you don't use a texture that causes that much shimmering in the distance, that just hurts your players' eyes.

I guess it's not too much competition so they get away with making a glitchfest easily. Featherlight seems especially buggy what with those flickering tiles.
