I'm really curious. While I found tons of great games, I havent' found a single one that made me say "Wow, what a fantastic interpretation of the theme."

Almost all games seem to be just plain "Keep [yourself/your friend/your pet/your plant/your fire] alive through regular gameplay, just like in all other games of that genre."

Looking through my list, I think the only game that received a high theme rating from me this jam is Pass it on. "Keep a message alive while mutating it" is pretty nice! Which ones wow-ed you?
