Shattered needs ratings! I'm trying my best to play and rate as many games as I can this weekend because I haven't had much this time round due to so many commitments.

Shattered is an online multiplayer game focused on PVP and keeping your base's energy topped up at all times by siphoning power from the world and stealing it from other players.

One reason why I haven't had much time to rate games is that I realised fairly early on that without players the game will be dull and unplayable and in a Ludum Dare context it's especially hard to reliably have people playing at the same time.

We actually made a multiplayer game for the last Ludum Dare as well but we managed to get bots in there for that one so that it could be enjoyed even without real players.

Unfortunately that wasn't the case this time round so we made Dangle: a tool for scheduling sessions for small multiplayer games. Hopefully some of you can use it for your own games or Shattered if you want to play it.

Good luck to everyone else desperately trying to get the 20 ratings they need this weekend!
