As we approach the end of another fantastic year filled with gaming adventures on Kongregate.com, our team decided to take a moment to share some of our favorite games that have kept us entertained throughout the year.

1. Where's My Water? 2

"I'm hooked on Where's My Water 2 for its mind-bending puzzles, and those adorable rubber ducks! I even keep a few rubber ducks at home for some 'rubber duck debugging' when I need to tackle a problem."

2. Burrito Bison: Launcha Libre

"For my desktop gaming fix, I can't get enough of Burrito Bison Launcha Libre. Yes, it might feel a bit mean squishing those gummy bears, but there's something oddly satisfying about it. Sometimes, you just need a stress-relieving game to cap off the day, right?"

“Burrito Bison: Launcha Libre on mobile, I love it for the hidden recipes and it always helps to pass time during long flights!”

3. Bit Heroes Quest

"My go-to mobile game is Bit Heroes Quest. It's got the perfect blend of simplicity and fun, making it a delightful experience every time I dive into it. Check it out for epic quests and endless excitement!"

4. Realm Grinder

"Having been a Kongregate gamer since childhood, Realm Grinder on Steam holds a special place in my heart. It's the most interesting and well-balanced idle game I've played. The 'lore' and discovering new mechanics while ascending keep me coming back for more!"

5. The King's League: Odyssey

"Managing armies and conquering quests in The King's League: Odyssey on Kongregate has been a wonderful experience. The stunning art and the satisfaction of building my own army add a unique touch to this game."

6. Age of War

"Age of War is my nostalgic favorite from 2010, and it still holds a special place in my gaming heart. It's that timeless classic that never gets old, and it brings back memories of my early gaming days."

7. Toss the Turtle

"Don't forget about Toss the Turtle! Those who remember the adventures from 2010 will understand how much fun it is. It's a classic that deserves a mention!"

8. Shoot & Sow

"Getting deep into Shoot & Sow has been a blast. It's small, easy to understand, and provides that perfect blend of fun and challenge. Sometimes, simplicity is the key to a great gaming experience!"

9. Animation Throwdown

"Discovering my favorite Kongregate game at the end of the year was a pleasant surprise. I had been playing Bit Heroes Quest for so long when I finally tried out Animation Throwdown. The CCG mechanics, strategic deck-building, and the addition of characters from different cartoons make it a thoroughly entertaining experience."

As we bid farewell to another incredible year of gaming, we want to express our gratitude to the entire Kongregate community for making it a memorable journey. Here's to more gaming adventures in the coming year!
