So... guess who already had a list of their favourite LD 46 games with short descriptions ready for WEEKS, but didn't actually post it in time because they wanted to make it all fancy with thumbnails and the like? And then never did that? This dingus. And since "making it fancy" will probably never happen now, I should probably just post it, late as it is!

Top 3

• HEAL ME PLZ by @pandanym, @unpostiche and @pietro-ferrantelli, an ultra-polished game about supporting a group of adventurers
• Birdie Burglars by @xellaya and @ddrkirbyisq, short, sweet, possibly too cute, and perfect in all regards
• Primed by @gimblll, with the best interpretation of the theme that I have seen in the whole jam

Complete experiences

• A Night In The Dark by @lectvs, a short survival-style adventure game
• Tower Defence of the Heart by @terry, a very nice and polished tower-defense experience
• Hacking is Probably Not Like This by @sayumeki, a hacking game
• Solais by @sayumeki, a super tight and short platformer that kept me playing despite hating difficult platformers
• ADRENA-LINE by @managore, a polished and fast-paced puzzle game

Innovation

• Keep the Keep by @kutase and @firellon, a "strategic puzzle that looks just like tower defence, but really, really isn’t"
• to Leave by @5imon, a puzzle game where figuring out the game is part of it - but start with the "monk's voice"
• Advise the King by @arden, a chess-based deck-builder
• Pass it On by @alanc, @angelina, @gary-kim, @connie-liu, and @ryan-jung, an async online game about keeping a message alive through obfuscations
• The Totally Convenient Feeding Machine by @jonathan-lorenz, which explores a simple but novel mechanic in several different levels

Atmosphere

• Morphology by @yanrishatum, @theodote, @elvendan and @shess, in which your small newfound pet might evolve into something else
• Embers by @anuke, which could improve on gameplay, but not on much else

Wildcard Category

• In A Game Wherein by @ssstormy, a text-based game in which delightfully meta things happen
