TIME TO VOTE!
Rank them in order from best to worst game screenshots
If it helps, think of the screenshot as the only thing you're seeing or knowing about the game before playing it. Which one would you want to play first? or second?

1) Feenicks
That looks tasty, if I have to be thinking about it in terms of game functionality though, would be a little hard to get used to such minimalistic information representaion for something that looks like, I suppose, a turn-based JRPG. What do icons next to character/move names do? They look more abstract than telling anything on associative level.
+Bonus points for:
isometric perspective
damage digits in other color
bright colorful characters got that nice pop to them
light, clear UI with unified style
such old school vibes
it doesn't look like and ohr game so much
2) TMC
This one sure seems a quick mock-up but that's a chief's touch! Even little animations on the birds propellers. Surroundings have pretty decent level of variation, although background color choice is a little blending nonetheless contrasting trees, a human figure, a building etc(colors vibrate - those brown and grays!). Maybe values aren't contrast enough. Reminds me of first Fallout game. Very delicious HUD bar, even with some transparent window.
+Bonus points:
birds have different beak directions
looks like it's made in Custom
GIF
3) Hollyhart1
This piece looks quite put together, reminds of games like Super Mario Bros. Vivid palette and compact pixel style, nothing excessive, though some things have readability issues, for example numbers on stars or, most confusing, player character which makes me wonder about what I see there at all. A little bit under the plank for these harsh blunt tile edges with patterns divided by simple color blocks. White outline on monster icon(black) does not work well with such bright green around.
+Bonus points for:
a world map
3)Charbile
Can't really give 3rd place to one person there
Those two screenshots are way too different but both good
Char's side is a joke game, which aside looking MSPainted(don't use it, kids, go compile Asperite or Graphics Gale or at least free MtPaint) has essence of funTM to it which I appreciate a lot. Not sure what im doing there but Feens and Bena's quotes are brilliant, ahaha.
+Bonus points for
Phoenix WRONG
spoon mallet
Harpy Burger ahahahahaha
4)Kylekrack
Now I understand what's going on there! All I need, selective UI, contrast between objects, some kind of action going on. Nice detail to have UI made of wood material in a hmm graveyard farming game?? Pfffft
+Bonus points for:
timer
uhhh, looks like all those screenshots belong to OHR to be honest, so sad
such cliche stereotype of what ohr game is
and more often than not it for some reason associates with low-quality pixel art(why MIDI started playing oof) and poorly spaced layouts
5)Nathan Mouse The
No detail whatsoever but at least what is there looks clear and understandable. No way, is it a lair of complete darkness so you can't see any background at all eh. Red lines look a little disturbing.
+Bonus points for:
very pretty blue hearts
bold font
flying projectile shot
6)Coryza
Uhhhhh
yep, there's some dialogue, that is nice
sets the mood
looks like we're viewing the world through character eyes, so that angst blurries vision as so much
thats kind of pixel art where you can't be sure what your eyes are telling you, eh
That pixel art begs for solid imrpovement(jagged lines, lone pixels, poor color choice, pixel size incostistency, etc) as game concept doesn't seem boring at all
Tere's some raddish and even UI elements, supposedly representing reserve teardrops???? But those transparent wooly thingies. That's really unsettling. mmmmhmmm
+Bonus points for:
Nodoggy
Raddish
a textbox, yeehaw
7)RMZ and Arti
Again, don't want to make a scumbag there out of someone, because there's the reason!
Both screenshots have opposite drawbacks, in my mooo opinion.
While kittens in the box lacks basically everything aside clear UI text and some kittens, Arti's work seemingly is a game with no explanation of anything. Arti, you can use blend modes scripts to make rain transparent, as it's so heavy its' barely understandable what's going on, since seems you too(oh woe is me) used OHRRPGCE amazing functional to produce this entry. RMZ, your kittens are cute chubby clone twins, though maybe would be cooler to have more types of kitt'n in a game about staring at them a lot.
+Bonus points:
weather overlay
kittens

RUNNERS UP
4. Arti - mysterious and simple... but deep. it speaks to me
5. Hollyhart1 - nailed the retro feel. conveys nostalgic waves well. VIBE

aesthetics
6. Prifurin. I doubt I would play this, based on just the screenshot.
but its animated!
7. Charbile. I would not play this, based on the screenshot alone.
but it seems cool
8. Feenick. It is unlikely I would play this from the screenshot alone.
but it is impressive
- fantastic aesthetics crew. They are inspiring! But where's the game?
wat
9. Nate
10. RedMaverickZero

I hope people get the joke that my entry is a request for Spoon to make Cat in Box 2. And by downvoting the game, you are saying that game doesn't look amazing. I want Karrible 2, and then I want Cat in Box 2. That order.
