I'd like to thank Sokurah again for his great games and recommend everyone to try them out ! I absolutely enjoyed playing them and I'll make sure to follow his new projects

~ GC / HS Team

[Sokurah]

Well, to everyone who played - thank you.

Personally I feel that my Christmas games are some of my weaker games. The quality is there - codingwise (imho) - but the gameplay is perhaps a bit too easy. So yeah - if you like what you've seen here - codingwise - then you should really take a look at some of my other games. Some of them will definitely put sweat on your brow.

[GimmeClassics]

I very much enjoyed your Christmas games and I'll make sure to have a look at your other games

I'll definitely have a look at "Omega Race 2009" which was chosen as Remake of the Month by Retro Gamer Magazine. Fortunately there is one shop in my hometown which sells this amazing magazine It's very cool that your game was mentioned in this magazine a few years ago

[Sokurah]

I actually love Omega Race 2009 myself too - I think it's one of my best games. Very playable and perfectly balanced so I'm happy that it was selected as GOTM in RG. I've had a few games in there as well...including two interviews too. I wonder if I'll ever get in there again...but if I don't then I can at least say that I've had my 15 minutes.

[Adultery]

As far as I'm concerned you're still having your 15 mins.

[Draco1962]

As long as you have fans, you don't need 15 minutes! A fan here!

[Sokurah]

Thanks guys.
