On previous jams I tried to hit this many but as just one human its loads of work to play, rate and leave feedback on so many games. There were so many amazing games this LD, great job to everyone who successfully submitted! This is the first time I've hit 100 ratings. Sadly not 100 comments but writing useful feedback can be exhausting and sometimes I just have nothing useful to say about a game. Maybe next LD the goal will be 100 comments :)

Time for awards! (that I made up just now in no particular order)

Most Likely To Become A Full Game Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/the-king-is-watching @maximbegunov

TKIW is a great little microcosm of a strategy game (roguelite maybe?) it feels like loop hero in many ways. I'm interested to see if it survives past LD. It was very cool and balanced super well, felt incredibly finished and is just a great concept.

Most Impressive Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/f-r-e-d @juicybrucey

FRED doesn't just feature great art, sound and gameplay, nor a type of enemy design I've never seen designed incredibly well, but it's also a functional immersive sim that's incredibly fun to play. There's so much going on in this game and I love it. Amazing submission.

Most Polished Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/crime-critters-rob-the-british-museum @pen-island-games

CCRTBM is incredible, there's so much going on in this game and it's designed so well, the art is gorgeous and I loved playing it. I wish I could have played coop but even singleplayer it's very silly and very fun, awesome game.

Most Bizarre Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/introvertigo @midblue

Very strange game and a great concept, super weird but lots of fun and some amazing unhinged art. Cool game.

Best Idea Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/bit-golf @badcop

Some ideas are just really good ideas, bit golf stands on it's own, it's just a great novel idea for a game executed well.

Most Addictive Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/tiny-island @ghpxi

Admittedly I'm talking about the post-jam version so maybe this award will be our controversial drama bait, but the postjam version of tiny island kept me coming back multiple days in a row trying to get a higher score, and kept me thinking about it during my day while not even playing jam games. Great concept that I'll probably play again sometime.

Most Juicy Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/critical-core @benjamin-halko

This game is popping off in all the right ways, it's fun, tight, great song and has great juice. Awesome.

Cutest Game Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/quantumine-capture @zee-yuen

Quantum space cats are critical for the survival of the human race. The art on this one is really cute and elevates the interesting game concept even further. Love this one.

Most Unhinged Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/crazy @danial-jumagaliyev

I was crazy once

Most Stylin' Award: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/calves-of-the-braves @aune

This game is SO SICK, the art is great, game feel is great, it's so weird and out there and looks gorgeous. Unbelievably stylish. So damn cool.
