Achievement
Ambiguous Entry
-The author of Abel requested a bugfix for the possibility of entering a game. Abel was the only game he updated during the contest window. The game itself was first released in 2010, but the game is so short that it’s hard to tell what’s new and what’s been there for two years.
Achievement
Awesome but Canceled
-According to a message on Abel’s Castle Paradox game description, it was canceled before the contest even came to an end. Too bad because it was awesome.
Achievement
Winner of Best Font
–Abel uses a green computerized font that fits the game’s theme perfectly.
Audience Consensus:
The ability to customize the hero through perks is a nice touch. As a demo the game is very incomplete, though, and it’s unclear how much of it was even intended for this contest.

Legendary Heroes
by
Spoonweaver
Release Type:
Re-release
Fuzzy Description:
Join monster-killing guilds for money and fame. Kill rats, bats, and penguins (well, not that last one…yet). Ride giant turtles to glory. Ask the tough questions like, “Um…so what happened to the original female character who’s now replaced by another?”
Be a legendary hero.

Achievement
Lowest Voter Turnout (tied)
-Rereleased games are notorious for receiving the low end of the voter stick, and Legendary Heroes is a rereleased game (from the previous Heart of the OHR season). Shares this achievement with Final Dragon Legacy.
Achievement
Future Candidate for Legends Category
-Because Spoonweaver seems to work on Legendary Heroes during Heart of the OHR season only, and because it’s a rerelease that still has plenty of room to go before completion, it seems likely that it could come back for a third season, making it an OHR Legend.
Achievement
Sidekick
-Spoonweaver released two games for this contest. Legendary Heroes seemed to play second fiddle to Kinvesard: Epilogue of the Princess with the voters.
Audience Consensus:
Cartoonish design and easy battles keep things lighthearted. The lack of backstory makes the main character a little difficult to connect with or care about. New content easy to find (it starts at the turtle).

Final Dragon Legacy
by
mjohnson092088
Release Type:
Re-release
Fuzzy Description:
In that section of Midgard where the Vikings are not as popular, a boy must travel the land to figure out what happened to his father after he and his small party had stopped Ragnarok from taking place 15 years earlier.

-Rereleased games are notorious for receiving the low end of the voter stick, and Final Dragon Legacy is a rereleased game. Shares this achievement with Legendary Heroes.
Achievement
Unclear New Content
-Final Dragon Legacy is billed as a rerelease, but it was never made clear which parts existed before the contest.
Achievement
Cinched Vote
-The votes for Final Dragon Legacy were so tight that they never spanned more than one number from the average.
Audience Consensus:
A fun kind of nostalgic romp that doesn’t always remain consistent in its challenges or presentation, but does keep things moving along in a steady pace. Quite long in its delivery nonetheless. Takes hours to finish.

Universal Wars
by
jcenterprises
Release Type:
Original Release
Fuzzy Description:
Travel with our colorful heroes as they venture through straight-lined dungeons into badly drawn towns so they can stop the terrible Moolar and his terrible Mad Cow disease (and other villains and plots of madness)!

Achievement
Waist Level Champion
-No vote for Universal Wars broke the midpoint barrier (any score greater than 5).
Achievement
The Cows Have It
-Moolar. Mad Cow Disease. This game is full of cow-based mooood-setting.
Achievement
Most Ridiculous
-RPGs are often full of serious quests and grounded tropes, but Universal Wars throws all of that away for udder craziness (yes, that’s another cow joke—thank you for noticing).
Achievement
Best Villain Nominee: Moolar
-If Heart of the OHR rated its villains, then Moolar’s over-the-top presentation deserves a nod.
Audience Consensus:
Crazy quests add to the ridiculous humor, but bad graphics and lame battles mean the joke is really on the player. The lined floors are glaring on the eyes. Moolar makes up for the game’s many shortcomings, however.
