Our final addendum to the list of some of our favorite games this Ludum Dare!\n\nIt should be noted that, unlike our previous list, many of these games have already gotten some pretty respectable attention, so if you\u2019re going to be playing any more games before rating season is over, we highly recommend [playing some games in the Danger Zone](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/games\/danger\/all) so they can qualify for a ranking after all their hard work.  \n\nThen afterwards, if you find yourself with some free time, check out these other super stellar games!\n\n# [Hide and Seek](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/hide-and-seek)\n## @xellaya, @ddrkirbyisq\n\n[![hideandseek.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a790.jpg)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/hide-and-seek)\n\nOh my god if you are even remotely a fan of horror, go play this.  Hide and Seek nails that creepy and unsettling atmosphere without having to lean too heavily into obnoxious jumpscare territory.  With A+++ sound design, this is definitely an underrated gem.\n\n# [Smells Like Chlorine](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/smells-like-chlorine)\n## @bas-hoogeboom, @thegreenworm\n\n[![smellsLikeChlorine.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a793.jpg)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/smells-like-chlorine)\n\nThis game is quite the trip.  We don\u2019t want to talk too much about it without giving anything away.  Suffice it to say the devs did a great job with this one, both narratively and from an engineering standpoint.  Super impressed with what these two were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time!\n\n# [Chicxulub](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/chicxulub)\n## @natpat, @archie-evans, @literal-games\n\n[![chix.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a794.jpg)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/chicxulub)\n\nChicxulub is a shoot-em-up without the shooting.  You play as the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, and wacky hijinks ensue.  The art on display here is absolutely hilarious, and everything just seems to mesh super well together.  This game really brings it all.\n\n# [Cycle Breakdown]( https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/cycle-breakdown)\n## @thejohnyfeed\n\n[![cycleBreakdown.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a795.jpg)]( https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/cycle-breakdown)\n\nFans of Hotline Miami will be pleased with this one.  The fast-paced, high-risk\/high-reward challenging gameplay might put off some, but it will undeniably light a fire in others.  This game is oozing with juice and makes you start seeing red as you deftly weave between enemies and murder everything that moves.\n\n# [Bust-a-Loop](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/bust-a-loop)\n## @peachtreeoath\n\n[![bustaloop.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a796.jpg)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/bust-a-loop)\n\nIt\u2019s immediately apparent that the dev behind Bust-a-Loop is an avid fighting game fan.  The game takes some fairly technical aspects of fighting games and boils them down to its core components that even the most casual of players can understand.  Finding this kind of \u201ccondensed fun\u201d is always great to see!\n\n# [Space Drummer](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/space-drummer)\n## @jrevel, @clement-feanor, @delphin-casado, @a-jeannerod, @michael-assing, @guilloteam\n\n[![spaceDrummer.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a797.jpg)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/space-drummer)\n\nTo those of you (like me) who thought a rhythm SHMUP could never be done, go play this game.  Customizing your player ship\u2019s loadout by mapping it to a drum beat is a truly inspired concept, and it works surprisingly well.  We would love to see this expanded on in the future!\n\n# [Project R.O.O.M](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/project-r-o-o-m)\n## @arad-hamidsamiee\n\n[![projectRoom.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a798.jpg)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/project-r-o-o-m)\n\nWe recommend Project R.O.O.M knowing full-well that it\u2019s not going to be for everyone.  But darn it if we aren\u2019t a fan of these surreal experimental experiences.  Don\u2019t go into this game expecting some exciting action and gameplay, but do go in expecting to feel\u2026different by the time you finish.\n\n# [Stuck in a Soup Loop](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/stuck-in-a-soup-loop)\n## @thekingbarry, @dodidouda, @lady-stardust, @khreas, @doot\n\n[![soupLoop.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a36\/3\/z\/3a799.jpg)](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/stuck-in-a-soup-loop)\n\nCute, funny, chaotic, challenging, easy to understand, this game brings it all.  Stuck in a Soup Loop is a great example of a simple idea milked for all the fun it\u2019s worth.  It never overstays its welcome, and it\u2019s difficulty curve is surprisingly fantastic for something that likely didn\u2019t have a lot of playtesting time to begin with.  If you haven\u2019t already, give this one a shot!\n\n\u2026Aaaaand that\u2019s it!  As far as ratings go, the Keyboard Cowboys are officially wrapped up with rating everyone who was kind enough to comment on our game.  With a whopping **120 ratings given**, we are exhausted, but we had a blast doing it.\n\nThis year we found streaming to be an absolutely fantastic way to interact with the community, and we wouldn\u2019t have even encountered half of these games if we didn\u2019t have that direct line of communication to many of the developers.  Thanks so much y\u2019all for making this one of the most enjoyable Ludum Dares yet!
