Another batch of top 7DRLs from 2019! The games for this stream are:

* 00:05:13 - Forward (https://citron-curieux.itch.io/forward): A one-directional combat RL--advance through a gauntlet of monsters while choosing which items to collect and enemies to fight. Nice art, good controls, very streamlined (note: it uses cards but isn't really a card game).
* 00:43:58 - BEARRL (https://zappedcow.itch.io/bearrl): A pretty simple and cute PICO-8 7DRL. Play a bear coming out of hibernation and eat enough food through the seasons before the next Winter, while also dealing with a couple hazards.
* 00:53:10 - B-Line (https://slogo.itch.io/b-line-7drl): A Battle Royale roguelike. Yes, this is a thing, and it's done pretty well! As one would expect: Be the last one standing as "the void" closes in around the 200 participants stuck in a dungeon with various gear to use. (The dev showed up for this part of the stream, too.)
* 01:45:00 - Pocket Dimensions (https://laurheth.itch.io/pocket-dimensions-rl): Cool game! Play a wizard who can literally open, close, carry, and reopen portals (doors) to different worlds as you try to find the way to your goal. In my last run on stream, I eventually drowned after opening a portal to a dimension containing an active fountain, and left the door open, eventually flooding another dimension xD
* 02:46:54 - Lord of the Mall (https://andyman404.itch.io/lord-of-the-mall): Ride the shifts between the dungeon world, where you collect gold and avoid or fight goblins, and the mall world, where you spend your coins to buy the best deals.
* 03:27:10 - No'hanz (https://st33d.itch.io/nohanz): My favorite 7drl from this batch, where you play an armless sword master and cannot interact with items--instead you must use pre-placed traps to your advantage. LOTS of tactics in this one, and it gets crazier and crazier as you advance with many types of traps and enemies. There are good "traps," too, and you can use traps on enemies, or get enemies to use traps on you... Polymorph (use enemy abilities!), create duplicates of yourself, all kinds of fun. In this one run I was a Titan (T) and had gotten myself duplicated, and we were smashing through walls all over the place. In another I became a Beholder and was summoning floating eyes that were then duplicated and could stun everything else while I attacked. Lots and lots of eyes...

There's some mechanics exploration and analysis while playing, though not quite as much as I did in the first post-review stream :)
