Wow, there are so many awesome games this jam. It's really inspiring to see what creative ideas people can come up with in such a short time! I'm having a lot of fun playing and rating games this time, so I thought it would be nice to share some of the great games I saw so far. I wanted to keep this short so I semi-randomly selected 7 games of the ones I really liked this time. There are tons of other games I really liked but are missing from here, maybe I'll leave them for a follow up post :smile:

In any case, I'm sure there are also tons of awesome games I haven't played yet, so please share more recommendations in the comments :)
