My Top 5 Favorite Games of LD33 So Far
View this post on our blog for much better formatting
Wow, what a great Ludum Dare. Already, I’m extremely impressed by a lot of the entries! The turnout was great, and despite the theme practically being a repeat of “You are the Enemy”, there seems to be a ton of solid games. Here are my top 5, two(and a half) hours after the end of the Jam. You can download all of these entries in a single .zip file here. They also include a link to the rate page of each entry.
####Gojira-Chan
I liked the graphics quite a bit, but more levels and some enemies would have made it much better. I’d also like to see the controls become a bit tighter, especially the jumps. It felt very airy.

####Horrifying Human Hunter
This was a great action arcade entry! I loved how tight the controls felt, and really enjoyed that I felt… stealthy. Like a real monster of the night, but with a big fat smile on my face! 😀 Had the makings of a great moody entry, but alas, no music.

####Motherflippin’ T-Rex!
That was a great romp. 😀 The animation was smooth, the sounds were fantastic, and it did what I imagine the developer wanted it to: made me feel like a badass T-Rex tearing shit up. 😀 Side note: I scored ~113k.

####The Devil’s Daughter
This was hilarious. Very cheeky, with well-implemented platformer controls. The profanity laser was a great touch, and the dialogue had me in stitches! Nicely done!

####We Are Monster
This was a great demo of some serious shader-writing capabilities! I’m not sure I’d consider it a game so much as a… relaxing interactive wallpaper, but whatever it was, I really enjoyed it. I’d love to get a look at the shader code… Y U NO SOURCE?!
