We keep seeing more and more great 3D animation every month!

[Master-Awesome]

Yo Tom, you think my movie will ever make it: http://master-awesome.newgrounds.com/

Please reply soon!

Yes, those are my picks too! Good thing I selected them when asked what I thought the best were.

[yeahha]

Personally thought Confusion Through Sand deserved to be higher up but congratulations to the winners anyways :)

[LauriJ]

Alright, can you name at least some of the medal-enabled games on this list for me?

[Pop-Tart]

I quite enjoyed 'Joy.' Had almost a Craig McCracken vibe to the style and the story kept my attention (which is hard to do.) Congrats on the top spot!

Witchhunt and Fancy Snowboarding have medals, and I voted for both of them.

[TheGreatGambino]

I'm sad that I didn't get my voting done quick enough to submit my picks. I've never participated in the monthly voting before so I was taking the time to view every submission... and I guess I took too long after I saw the message a couple days ago. I got through most of the animations but only a few games.

3 of those top 5 were going to be in my top 10 list... with "Confusion Through Sand" and "Joy" at the top... but I also really liked the movies "The Little Star" and "LIGHT" which I am sad that I don' even see in the top 30... check them out, they are beautiful little animations!

Congrats to the winners!

[Bit]

I'm not sure why this gem didn't make it into the top 5...

• Unsuitable Submission

  This submission contains age-rated material and requires an account to view.

[Cyberdevil]

Not really the ranking I'd have chosen, but -Joy- was a deserving first place at least. So much good stuff this month! As always!

Congrats to the winners!

[1sky1heart]

Congrats to the winners and thank you everyone who participated in January!
And thank you, NG community for all these submissions!

It'd be kinda nice if there was a little game icon on the internally linked links, so we'd know... otherwise just click on Games in the menu, and look along the top left side for the Games With Medals link.

[Wegra]

Kind of a pity my choices didnt win. Ah well great work everyone!

[ZJ]

Can't believe that I hadn't seen -Joy- until today. What a great little film. Looked like something I would see on TV. Wouldn't be surprised if this won best film of 2015 in the Tank Awards.

I'm hoping this means you voted for the two I was involved with in which case I love you too, man.

As a matter of fact it was

[jonthomson]

i'm shocked, just shocked, that the kingdom rush rip-off that got promoted for some reason didn't get higher than #28

[DjGubkafish]

Everyone is talking of how portal quality has gone down but I look at these awesome submissions and it makes no sense .

[CGA-999]

I voted for one or two of those.

Wow. I did not honestly expect to win. Thanks anyways!

[k7vin]

Woah!! Thank you all who voted, and great job everyone who won! I'm really humbled to be counted among such great content!

agreed

[LightningLion]

Congrats to the winners! Though like a few others here, I was hoping Confusion Through Sand would have placed somewhere in the top five.

[GrahamNG]

This month's top 5 animations sucked :P

Maybe because it wasn't nominated?

[TharosTheDragon]

Looks like none of the stuff I voted for got the top 5 in either category. Weird.

And it looks like people ignored the recommendation to not vote based on boobs.

I would like to propose a system. The monthly voters are picked based on how many of the nominees they've viewed, yes? So you must have a way of knowing that number. Why not make our monthly votes worth more based on how many of the nominees we've viewed? Surely someone's vote will be more informed if they've seen all the submissions versus someone who's only seen 30 or so.

It should have been nominated.

I demand a recount, Tom!
