  "account": "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for round two of my pixel art quiz. Last time, the challenge was too simple, so I've upped the difficulty. I'll be showing you screenshots from 15 games but don't worry, a few of them have been intentionally distorted to make them more challenging.\n\nYour task is to identify the name of each game from the distorted screenshots. I'll give you six minutes to name as many of the 15 games as you can. After you've finished, let me know how you did in the comments section.\n\nSome of these games might be familiar to you, even if you don't usually play their respective genres. I'm just interested in the games with interesting sprites or detailed pixely environments, regardless of the genre.\n\nOnce you've submitted your answers, I'll be eager to hear which ones you struggled with and which ones you nailed. Are you ready to put your pixel art knowledge to the test? Let's get started!",
