indieVote is a kind of Hot or Not for indie games, inspired by the Cave Story vs. Auditorium thread (and Andreas Kämper came up with the original, overcomplicated idea). It's pretty simple, you just choose which game you like the most, then the underlying system assigns points and whatnot to the games and you end up with a top 10 list of the Best Indie Games Ever!

You can find the website here.

The website uses/used the TigDB API to populate the database with games, by the way. Smiley

i like  Grin Hand Thumbs Up Right
it's a good way to familiarize oneself with games you do not know.

I guess that's pretty cool, especially how it selects the games randomly from the database.
I'd like to see the results of this!

This is awesome! It asks such difficult questions though.

A small bug I discovered: "Façade" EDIT: similar mistakes occur with a few other titles...

Man, I need to play more games... it's not very often that both choices are games that I've actually played.

Nice! I like this. But links to games with long titles gets cut off. For example, "Stargirl and the Thief from the Exploded Moon" links to http://db.tigsource.com/games/stargirl-and-the-thief-from-the-exploded...

Uh, oops. I've set the limit at 70, so I guess that's it. I'm thinking of clearing the DB once in a while though, so I'll up the limit next time.

Great idea, and properly executed.

The name's bugging me a little, since there's little actual "voting" going on. More like indie battles or something like that. I just don't think the name channels what's really going to happen.

Great job, anyhow.  Hand Thumbs Up Left

Oh, what a nice idea! At first I thought it's crap, but this kind of voting is something where people don't just select their favorite game and push it over and over again... That's good!

Btw: Wow, seeing all the projects here with "Indie" in their name, we're looking like a marketing company: IndieLib, IndieVote, IndieBrawl...

You might want to make it clearer that "THIS ONE" is what you click to vote, to avoid people accidentally going to the database entry and not voting for the two games they first saw.

Other than that, this is pretty fancy. Gentleman
