One part of really wanting to provide constructively criticism to every game I play is that it takes forever \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Finally I’ve played and rated\u00a0my 100th<\/strong>, so I think it’s high time to highlight some of my favourites THAT I HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH LISTED BY OTHER PEOPLE (because it’s better than telling everyone about the same games over and over again), in no particular order:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compo:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Approaching Grace<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sam Oates Games (82)
\n <\/a>This one had some really smart design despite it being very derivative of Binding of Isaac. The dual characters + obstacles really gave a sense of needing to protect “each other”.<\/p>\n

birdsong<\/a><\/h3>\n

Managore (203)
\n <\/a>The Shader work that made this a reality is AMAZING. Backed by really good production value and great mechanics. Superb.<\/p>\n

The Operator<\/a><\/h3>\n

little-burrito (43)
\n <\/a>This was the game that had the least game, but damn what little game there was, I LOVED all of it. Amazing concept. Gave me a sense of awe. Great.<\/p>\n

Gridception<\/a><\/h3>\n

Hammers (40)
\n <\/a>Another one of those games that gave me a “huh, what’s the fuss ab… OMFG” moment. Really cool.<\/p>\n

Maze Escape<\/a><\/h3>\n

Gins (62)
\n <\/a>Amazingly designed, shares a similar greatness with Ball Room from the Jam entries below.<\/p>\n

Snowball juggling Olympio<\/a><\/h3>\n

Benjamin (133)
\n <\/a>Incredible game, incredible mechanics, amazing details, it’s basically a complete product. With things to discover too. And really conveys its theme so well through its mechanic, I love *that*.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jam:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ball Room<\/a><\/h3>\n

BroCade (45)
\n <\/a>Superbly well designed platforming and puzzling mesh. Love it to bits, and it’s even got a atraditional twist to the platforming.<\/p>\n

Ring Ring Ring<\/a><\/h3>\n

InHelli (39)
\n <\/a>The way this game toys with your emotions with so few elements is incredible. FEAR. Delicious pixel fear.<\/p>\n

Bionic Bliss<\/a><\/h3>\n

Mechamew (70)
\n <\/a>So well written, so well executed, so cute \":)\" It’s not the deepest game ever but it has heart, and that’s great.<\/p>\n

Laundry Day<\/a><\/h3>\n

Omiya Games (56)
\n <\/a>A really surprising game. Takes a mundane concept and makes it… mundane, but there’s a lot of fun in that mundanity \":)\"<\/p>\n

Farm Invaders!<\/a><\/h3>\n

Reyn (32)
\n <\/a>Surprisingly well designed for such a tiny thing. All the elements come together in a cohesive form like a great boardgames, but without the wait.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then of course there’s my own Compo game, which is pretty damn good too, if I do say so myself \":)\"<\/p>\n

No More Boxes<\/a><\/h3>\n

A deceptively cute multiplayer arena platformer physic-em-up that\u00a0came out “different” because I thought really really really hard\u00a0about the theme and restrictions \":)\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well done LD 31! You’ve been amazing as usual! Looking forward to the next one already! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>","time":"December 19th, 2014 9:53 am","title":"Best of my 100"}
