Some really cool games from the ones I played this jam

So many amazing games this jam! I am sure there are many awesome games I haven't played, since I mainly played random games offered to me by the site's algorithm. Wanted to share the games I liked most from the ones I played this jam:

Amazing and very innovative puzzle game. Probably the most original game I've played this jam. It starts with a really cool idea and follows through with excellent puzzle design.

Unfamiliar

Winner of "only Ludum Dare game that actually made me cry". Visual novel about Alzheimer. Very pretty, excellent music, good story and very emotional.

California Jane

One of the most polished-feeling game I've played this jam. Turn based puzzle game.

Runnink out of Space

Cool word puzzle game. To be fair I didn't complete this one because it became too difficult for me, but I did spend almost an hour banging my head against it.

Snakescape

You can see I have a thing for puzzle games :) This was not as polished as some of the other ones, but I really liked the mechanics behind this game and the puzzle design.

The Hero's Incredible Chronicles

Very short, not much of a game to it, but really liked the experience in this one :)

Compo games

Evolution

Not much of a game, but a very moody, emotional experience. Amazing that this was done by a single person in 48 hours!

Personal space

@ursagames

Fun adventure game about social anxiety.

There are probably tons of other games I really liked and are missing from here. There are actually even some games I rated higher (or the same) as some of the games above but are not mentioned here, so don't feel bad if I played your game and it's not here :) Really, many of the entries I played were so good, it was really inspiring to see what people can come up with in such a short time.

Anyway, good luck everyone! One more week until the results...

I'd be super happy if anyone else wants to try my game and write a comment on the page: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/pyramidion (although please try the ones above first, they are all much better than mine :slight_smile: )
