Hey, look. Over there. It’s a lot of amazing flash games, and they’re all finalists for at least one Mochi award. What are The Mochis? They’re the award program attached to the Flash Games Summit, which takes place about a month from now on March 8.

There are some pretty great flash games from the past year on the list, and the sadness that comes with the omission of Don’t Look Back is somewhat alleviated by the inclusion of titles like How to Raise a Dragon and Windowsill.

A five-member panel will do most of the judging, but you can vote for your favorite from the list in the People’s Choice category.

Here’s the list of the games nominated for each category:
