From the results of the secret ballot in the nomination round, these are the hacks that have had the most votes in each category.

And lastly, from the elimination round, Glazed has received the most votes in the poll, so it gets the title of the community's Fan Favourite.

Hack of the Year

A total of 5 judges, including myself, have played each hack and rated it in four categories. The reviews and reasoning behind the ratings can be found in the thread here. This year we're introducing a new Points system, where the hack with the highest total rating in each category will get 3 points, the second will get 2, and the last 1. The hack with the most points is the Hack of the Year!

Here's the breakdown for each category:

Graphics

Storyline

Gameplay

General Appeal

Totals and points

Congratulations, To All 3 Hacks. I Played All 3 of them XD so Fun :)

Hmm red and gaia got almost the same firered style tiles not sure why gaia was voted more on graphics aspect when red got better custom tiles (facepalm)

Anyway gz for winners and gaia did very well for a hack with not many maps completed vs glazed which is completed and red almost completed

I see what you did there hahaha

The entire 321 points system is a much better system and avoids any rogue judging. Bravo.

Maybe because Spherical Ice's hack follow a predefined style (Al new tiles are un fully FR style) and Red Chapter are a combinations of other styles with FR style, I prefer al graphics in an only style.

Congratz all the winners :) . Good job !!
