If you haven't already, check them out. They're all fantastic entries and deserve your support! \n\n# Save Your Wife!  \n**By:** @majagames @shubhamrathi @sparsha-dhar\n\n**Description**  \nYou and your wife are professional hunters. Your wife shoots a wolf and now is being attacked by a pack of wolves! You, as her husband have to save her!\n\n**My Thoughts**  \nIt\u2019s a fun game with nice graphics. The throw your wife mechanic is both amusing and fun! Definitely up there for humour!\n\n**Play It Here**  \nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/save-your-wife\n\n# Mount Ookie  \n**By:** @stavu @jakier @brusi \n\n**Description**  \nOnce in a thousand years, the ancient Mount Ookie wakes from its slumber, and makes its journey to the safety of the world tree. But alas! A deadly swarm of mountain wasps tries to drain the Ookie from its life force. Protect the Ookie!\n\n**My Thoughts**  \nA well polished game with amazing pixel art. Some solid controls and a concept that felt fresh. This was overall really fun!\n\n**Play It Here**  \nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/mount-ookie?fbclid=IwAR2mzEsblVQPzkblBPa9U16dV8FoOYTetwKj5Lb9ILI-Wmmq3dpT6nd0U5Y\n\n\n# THE SECRET FLAME  \n**By:** @drjedd @thomas-lean\n\n**Description**  \nMost have given up. Will you go all the way?\n\n**My Thoughts**  \nA well polished game with a gorgeous pixel art environment and nice illustrations for each character. The story felt complete and the puzzles were a nice addition. It deserves more attention than it's had, so check it out!\n\n**Play It Here**  \nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/sgfgdfgfdgfdgfd\n\n\n\n# Ubergine \n**By:** @curleyrach @olliemotion @curleysam\n\n**Description**  \nYou must water the Ubergine until it is fully grown whilst keeping the hipsters that are trying to eat it at bay!\n\n**My Thoughts**  \nSuch a fun and silly concept that works as such a great game! Controlling two characters at once is challenging to begin with, but that\u2019s all part of the experience and fun. The graphics for this are great but my favourite part has to be the faces on the ubergine! \n\n**Play It Here**  \nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/ubergine\n\n\n\n# Mr. Cheesy\n**By:** @savvu\n\n**Description**  \nSlide down that Cheese Grater and since the theme of  Ludum Dare 46 is \"Keep it alive\"...try not to end up on that Spaghett! \ud83c\udf5d\n\n**My Thoughts**  \nA very well polished game that fit the theme well. The animations for Mr. Cheesy are funny and it's a great concept overall. What's even more impressive is the game now has a post-jam android version. Can't wait to see what comes next!\n\n**Play It Here**  \nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/mr-cheesy\n\n\n# Hope\n**By:** @darylsteak\n\n**Description**  \nA puzzle game \/ walking simulator set in the apocalypse.\n\nWhen the world goes to hell and the zombie apocalypse rages on, there are rumors that there\u2019s a band of survivors deep within Russia, with food, water, and supplies.\n\nYour only hope of getting there is in the form of a train;\n\nand you must keep that train working.\n\nYou must keep that train alive.\n\n**My Thoughts**  \nI have a soft spot for zombie games, but this one is fantastic. The visuals are consistent and nice and the overall concept is achieved to a very high standard. The puzzles are really fun and well thought out, they hit that perfect level of difficulty where you have to think but aren't stuck forever. It deserves all the ratings it's had.\n\n**Play It Here**  \nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/hope-1\n\n\n\n# Me\n\nI made **The Dark Cave**, which you can check out here:\nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/the-quiet-caves\n\nIf you would like to follow the post-jam development of The Dark Cave, I\u2019ll be posting updates on my Twitter from time to time.\n\nI\u2019m Tom, and you can find me on Twitter here:\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/DeveloperTom1\n\n","comments":5,"comments-timestamp":"2020-05-14T09:33:48Z","created":"2020-05-12T11:52:01Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":210526,"love":6,"love-timestamp":"2021-09-29T21:44:07Z","meta":[],"modified":"2021-09-29T21:44:07Z","name":"Some Of My Favourite Games So Far","node-timestamp":"2020-05-12T13:06:47Z","parent":196103,"parents":[1,5,9,176557,196103],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/the-quiet-caves\/some-of-my-favourite-games-so-far","published":"2020-05-12T13:06:47Z","scope":"public","slug":"some-of-my-favourite-games-so-far","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":640224},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"210526","n_urlkey":"362785","n_parent":"196103","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/the-quiet-caves\/some-of-my-favourite-games-so-far","n_slug":"some-of-my-favourite-games-so-fa","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"195905","n_created":"1589284321","n_modified":"1632951847","n_version":"640224","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/the-quiet-caves\/some-of-my-favourite-games-so-far","text":"With Ludum Dare coming to an end I thought I'd share some of my favourite games so far.
