Week 2 of ratings is gone and done. Just one more week until results! Interacting with other creators is always one of the highlights of the jam for me. For that reason, I'd like to share 5 of my favorites from this week for you to consider!

(In no particular order.)

Void Reader - A Desktop Multiplayer Game

The genius of this game really took me by surprise. On the surface, it's a slow-paced game (with online multiplayer support) about gathering seeds and harvesting plants for upgrades. The surprise is that it plays like an idle game, overlaying your desktop so that you can multitask while you wait!

Mountain of the Dragon Fruits

A charming lemmings type puzzle with simple and entertaining scenarios and a meticulous sound design that transports you to Feudal Japan.

Midday Garden

This auto-shooter has wonderfully minimalist graphics and an addictive combat loop. You should definitely check out the post-jam version after rating!

Travelling Tea Maker

A narrative game written in Ink, this one is a welcome change of pace. You are a traveling tea maker who desires only to serve every customer just what they need. The story has many branching paths to explore, and the artwork is absolutely charming. So make yourself a cup of tea, sit back, and relax.

Martian Mind Hunter

RTS games are a rare site in Jams, I feel, maybe because of the complexity required to add depth. Martian Mind Hunter makes a great start, and the artwork feels like a just throwback to nostalgic titles.

That's it for now! I'm looking forward to the final week of rating entries. I'll see you all in a few short days for results!
