Best Puzzle:
Setting the Table... yeah, loved this one. It took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, though!
Funnest Map:
Zack's Chip Challenge... man oh man this was a blast. Not really ZOMGDIFFICULT but it was very fun.
Overachiever Award:
The One with the Billion Arrows... too many arrows, so little caring.
Biggest Rip-Off:
Ha'naan in Liberty's Game... I want some man! You now owe me $0/mo. in royalties btw.
Shake Fist In Frustration Award:
The Skeleton One... it was annoying and I had to keep save files. More of a luck thing than a puzzle. :<
BTW, I skipped the Sudoku. It's just not worth it. Maybe I'll puzzle it out later and watch the ending, but eh. I feel like it's cheating, almost. =D

Best Puzzle:
Liberty's 7 in One. I'm not quite sure why, but I really liked this puzzle a lot.
Funnest Map:
Craze's Economy Sim. Nothing to add. Simply a lot of fun in my opinion.
Biggest Rip-Off:
Kentona's Zack's Chip Challenge.
Shake Fist in Frustration Award:
GameOverGames Productions' Lazer Sudoku. I still can't figure this one out!
Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing this, up until the Lazer Sudoku.
*Edit* I seem to have forgotten a category. I'll add that now...

Best Puzzle:
Zack's Chip Challenge: I just liked how unique it was. I also liked the mspaint graphics, as they weirdly seemed to blend with the Zack image.
Funnest Map:
Future/Past Towns: Very intriguing. I liked the idea.
Overachiever Award
Liberty's 7in1: Jeez, how long did that take you!?
Biggest Rip-Off
Savage Floor: It's like every bad puzzle I've ever played rolled into one.
Shake Fist In Frustration Award
Setting the Table: I HATE YOU GIBMAKER. On a side note, the puzzle was really brilliant though. It reminded me of those annoying log puzzles in Golden Sun, only much much harder. Great work on this.

OH YOU MEAN HOW IT WAS NOT BASED OFF MY CHILDHOOD GAME FOR THE WINDOWS.

Better Solution: Let me sell a BQ2 walkthrough. Each person who had a part in the making of the game will get a 1% share of the profits!
So that leaves you with 87%?
Edit: Also, why isn't the voting being done via blog and blog comments?
Best Puzzle
Economy Sim: Very basic in this form but it could be a grand thing if expanded. Was it all ready? I don't know.
Funnest Map
Zack's Chip Challenge: Bummer.
Overachiever Award
Setting the Table: Because I wasted a whole day on it when I should have been playing sports with the other boys.
Biggest Rip-Off
Lazer Su Doku: Is that rip-off as in stolen from something else? Because yeah.
Shake Fist In Frustration Award
Lazer Su Doku: Because yeah.
A thing for each map:
Angels & Demons - You can solve the switch one a little too easily by just checking the angel after hitting each switch. I wasn't sure how the angels and demons actually fit in, if they were even supposed to.
Tick Tock Took Book - A pretty simple one-off puzzle. I solved it in about 60 seconds. Having to pick up the book on the table was a devious touch though.
Rocks, Slings and Arrows - Classic dungeon puzzles. I find the switch ones bizarrely entertaining, although I got the left one exactly right the first time by chance. The arrow part wasn't very hard considering the "true" path goes straight across without using any of the stepping stones.
Zack's Chip Challenge - Craploads of fun! Takes me back to 1999. All the little mini-puzzles are well done and I was glad you didn't have to restart the whole map every time you died. The music was delightful until about the 20th loop. Too bad there wasn't "Watch out for creatures!"
Lazer Su Doku - A really well-done puzzle, but it slowed the pace of the game right down and I cheated due to impatience, since these things take like 30 minutes to do. Especially after I made a mistake and mistakes are impossible to root out in sudoku without starting over. And then WTF HARD MODE??? Nice to see the sci-fi chipset.
The Curious Chase of Zack Zachariah - At first I thought this puzzle was broken, but the correct path to the stairs is rather ingeniously concealed, the way you have to waste a few steps at the start. TRICKY.
Lovely Logic - Pretty simple to figure out, I guessed right the first time. Too bad most of the things the Alexes say are extraneous. I like meat too. EDIT: OIC the correct Alex is randomized every time.
Economy Sim - This puzzle certainly has a lot of potential to grow in complexity, and it could use more graphical indications of your decisions. On my second try I ALMOST got to the goal, but it shunted me to the next map anyway. Oh well. The trick seems to be not to use any warriors at all. What are they good for?
Riddle of 7 - Some unexpected sympathy for the baroness! The trick to the greed puzzle is given away by the timer being visible. Oops? A couple times I accidentally blundered into a portal without reading the plaques and I felt sad that I couldn't go out again to check them. I'm pretty sure I beat Wrath by accident. Are you just supposed to get your ass kicked?
Skeleton Ship - This was actually a welcome change of pace after the Economy Sim. Mindless running puzzle win! PS I probably hate you too.
Future's Past - A bit tedious talking to everyone over and over for clues, but not hard to figure out. The hardest part was finding all the parts of the store that needed fixing. Could plants really ruin a relationship?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda - A pretty random puzzle. Not hard to get through by just clicking on everything. I liked spinning grandma, but I'm not sure why she was there, or what the premise of the whole thing was.

Gibmaker: Warriors are there to be exploited on a later playthrough; one command in each area has a random event that is exaggerated by a Warrior (usually one--hey look this is like the description of them--that deals with people). For example:
-If farmers rebel, a Warrior whips them into increasing Food Production twice as much as normal
-If the Nomad Warlords appreciate your stimulating an economy and reward you with Gold, the Nomad Princesses will give a Warrior even more
-If lumberjacks stomp all over a berry bush patch, the Warrior will beat them until they replant twice as many berry bushes
There are more! Also, Warriors don't suck at either Food or Gold.
As for graphical signs: I really wanted to do that! I ran out of time/energy, though; I did the majority of the game in one sitting. The goal is to move it to VX, however.
