Now that the jam is about to end, and we’ve played quite a bit of games, we wanted to point out some of our favorite games we played during Ludum Dare 37… and also our game.  Play these things!

 

 

 

Walkie Talkie – Ingenious is the only word to describe this game.  A working chat application that allows you to type in messages, but then each message gets transformed into a playable platformer level.  I mean, common… what!?  That’s crazy dope.

 

 

 

 

Face Man – Here at ShuddaHaddaLottaFun, we like games with style, and Face Man has that, in faces… and maybe butts… I dunno.  A jump and gun shooter where your dead enemies faces become your new weapons.  This is a game to come back to and play again and again.

 

 

 

 

 

Cancelled Refuge – One of us might have had a hissy-fit in this games comments section, but it was deserved… this game is TOO good.  This game is practically ready to be flashed to a cartridge, sent back in time, and put on the shelf at your local Hollywood Video to rent and play on your Nintendo.  It’s got a sound test for crying out load.  Super fun to play, and look forward to seeing more of it in the future hopefully.

 

 

 

 

Karate Basketball – Let’s be honest, this game could have been awful and we still would have found it funny.  It’s a good joke.  NBA Jam, but starring Draymond Green kicking people.  But this game is also really good and fun to play.  I mean, it feels like NBA Jam, but with a kick button.  It’s great.

 

 

 

 

 

ClapClap – Also known as “Real Life: The Simulation”, ClapClap is an awesomely awkward adventure in social clap expectations.  You are at a concert, ready to bring forth applause from your sweaty hands, but need to clap at the right time when the song ends… and there are a lot of false endings.  Clap too early, and you get some real mean-mugging from the folks around you.

 

 

 

 

 

and lastly… our game

 

Shadow Fencer Theatre – A 1-2 player fencing game set in the world of shadow puppets.  We are super happy with how our game turned out this jam, and would love for you to check it out! It’s super silly fun when you have some friends to play with. Play it and tell us what you think!
