Categorizing LD29 Games in relationship to theme

I was interested in attempting to categorize how the games this round related to the theme.

You can take a look at my work in progress here: https://github.com/evilseanbot/ld29cat. If people want to suggest additions submitting a pull request would be the easiest way.

Some rough statistics about the games I played:

  • 22% are set underneath the water or have an important element underneath the water.
  • 49% are set underneath the ground or have an important element underneath the ground.
  • 10% involve removal of dirt tiles via digging, explosions, lasers, etc.
  • 5.3% involve being “Underneath skin” (Including my submission)
  • 5.3% are platformers where there are characters on two sides of a mirrored surface that are controlled simultaneously.
  • 4% you control submarines.
  • 1.3% you control a scuba diving bear.
