Kicker is a brief, parser-based game in which the player takes the role of kicker in American football. As usual, the jump will be followed by non-spoilery comments; then if I have anything spoilery to say, there will be spoiler space. As usual, the fact that I am reviewing this game means that it does list beta-testers.

IF Comp 2012: Valkyrie (Emily Forand)
Valkyrie is a CYOA in Twine. As usual, the jump will be followed by non-spoilery comments; then if I have anything spoilery to say, there will be spoiler space. I don’t know that this had beta-testers, but because the Twine format makes it more difficult to test for that, I’m being a little lenient with the choice-based pieces.
