After powering through around\u00a020\u00a0games in the last couple of hours, I finally got to 100 played games, so now its my turn to recommend some of them!<\/p>\n

Go play and rate them before it’s too late! They’re all compo entries.<\/p>\n

Planetary Replan<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The best multiplayer game that I tried this jam (out of 3). Pull a friend over to your computer, and have a quick strategic battle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I always think that it’s the good kind of ballsy to make a multiplayer game for Ludum Dare, since you sacrifice amount of people who will play your game, in order to create what you\u00a0<\/strong>feel like making.<\/p>\n

13 minutes of light<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

A gripping story with a unique sense of interaction and player influence. I sat at the edge of my seat playing through this, truly hoping that it would end well with my help – and it did, and I was extremely\u00a0relieved. Go have your own experience:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clashing Galaxies<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Strategic warfare in jam-style at\u00a0its best. When minimalism gives you a sense of grandiosity:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HopSlide<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

No doubt\u00a0the most innovative game I tried this Ludum Dare. It’s that kind of idea that I \u00a0had during my brainstorm, but dismissed because I told myself I wouldn’t be able to make a well\u00a0designed game out of it. Managore managed to do just that, now go wreck your brain:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Flicker<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite game out of the 100, a brilliantly simple puzzler, with beautiful, ensnaring visuals, surprisingly varied gameplay, and a soundscape that sounds like a lush, robotic\u00a0rainforest. I will return to this many times more, I expect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And lastly, my own game,\u00a0Twist and Weave<\/a><\/span>, a minimalist chain-simulator with true challenge and movements as smooth as a newborn’s buttock. I’ll love you forever if you rate and comment it \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you everyone for being awesome and making games that I can enjoy squeezing into my spare time. See you next Ludum Darre!<\/p>\n \n
