I’ve played a lot of games over the past 15 days, and I have perhaps lost track of some really good ones that I played, but I did start keeping track after a bit, and now I want to share some of my favorites. I don’t want to share them all at once though. Maybe I will do two a day.

'Junk' by @jjjjason

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/junk Tetris, with networked play. You might call it asynchronous multiplayer. It's not what you're thinking though. There are not two boards, and it is not "turn-based". One player doesn't have a defined advantage over others. No, the multiplayer is more clever than that. You begin the game as a "new hire", tasked with keeping a tidy workspace. You are told however that the last employee left a big mess before quitting. Now you have to clean it up. That's right, the tetris board of the previous player is your starting board. Hopefully the last player didn't totally suck at arranging tetraminoes. Good luck!

'Match' by @gamequester

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/match A match-3 game played in 4 directions. The spatial-reasoning at work in this game is quite different than that found in other match-3 games. Colored blocks will approach the center board from the left, right, upward or downward directions, and the player is in control of a neutral block which they must move through space, snapped to the grid. The player 'shoots' blocks to push or pull them. The result is a game that requires you to think on your feet; to consider not only where the blocks will be, but also how you will position yourself to perform actions. It is both a dexterity and reasoning challenge.
