## Purpose
page.summary
## Criteria
The list focusses on games released within the years //2014--2022//, yet many during this period were overlooked. As long as they match the **criteria** below, suggestions are @@@ welcome @@@.
Please be aware that there's a separate list for [site.author's Puzzlescript games|puzzlescript/index.html], as well as games where site.author collaborated (e.g. those from the [thinky-collective]) or was indirectly involved (e.g. @JackLance's' [ENIGMASH|https://jacklance.github.io/PuzzleScript/play.html?p=cfdcc6e23f1fb3e9de2fd42fafaf4d4c]).
Inclusion criteria:
==================
To be included, a game must score very highly in at least one of these **inclusion criteria**:
-**Atmosphere:** pleasant colours, agreeable music, cool animations;
-**Challenge:** challenging puzzles;
-**Originality:** a distinct style, goal, mechanics or story;
-**Effort:** intense detail, innovative features;
-**Tradition:** faithful [#ports] of old classics.
Exclusion criteria:
===================
Fatal is the failure to meet at least one the following **exclusion criteria**:
-**Completeness:** not unfinished, not unpolished;
-**Intuition:** lack of awkward controls, lack of visual confusion;
-**Kinder-friendly:** absence of violence, blood, scares and profanity;
-**Minimalism:** no repetitions, no padding, no unnecessary moves, no wasted time;
-**Optimism:** no negative feelings, at the end of the game;
Balance criteria:
===================
To keep this list manageable, no more than 18 games per year are selected, encompassing 5% to 10% of the year's batch. Thus, as the year approaches its end, some games are hidden and others take their place. These replacements are guided by a subjective idea of **balance** across all games and authors.
