<\/p>\nIf you are, I have some recommendations for you <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve rated about 200 games, and it\u2019s high time I shared some favorites !<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This game has the greatest mood ! You play a cosmonaut, and you must explore a planet. But you must be careful not to run out of food or be too lonely. In order to do that, you can build buildings and interact with things. It feels like a sandbox because you can interact with what you want and build wherever you want. Besides, there are multiple endings. I really enjoyed this one, playing in this strange, creepy atmosphere.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n You play a little guy who dreams about building a rocket to escape his sad tiny planet and the not-so-great existence he had on it. It\u2019s kind of a point and click where all the controls are with the keyboard. Don\u2019t miss the checklist on the first room because it\u2019s the guide of the story. You have to place the character up to get it because otherwise he wants to interact with the door.<\/p>\n This one too has a great mood. I really felt compelled to finish the story and I didn\u2019t get stuck. I\u2019m always stuck at some point in this kind of games\u2026 Everything is pretty straightforward in this one. It\u2019s a very enjoyable game.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This one is a very well thought take on the theme. You play an evil scientist that likes to torture tiny things. As he\u2019d like to torture humans, he has to make them tiny. So in the first phase of the game, you have to miniaturize people with your laser to put them in a jar. But humans won\u2019t let you do it that easily ! In the second phase, when you have enough humans, you can play with them in the jar.<\/p>\n A very fun entry !<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Some people have already talked about this game but it still doesn\u2019t have a lot of ratings (40). You really should play it, that\u2019s a very unique game with a very simple gameplay. You play a guy in a spaceship that wants to create a new world by uniting planets. To convince planets to join his project, he has to give them something. They all want objects, and the guy has a lot of objets in his spaceship. So you just have to walk between the rooms to find the objects they want to get them on board. Sometimes you have to merge objects together.<\/p>\n The screen doesn\u2019t show it much, but this game is very immersive. The storytelling sequences are great and you want to follow the story. This game is very unique and has a great mood.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Another very fun game that fits well the theme. You play a dinosaur on a tiny planet. You destroy cities and eat humans, but they attack you too of course. As you eat more humans, the moon turns red and you grow so big that the earth seems tinier and tinier to you.<\/p>\n A very simple and dynamic gameplay and engaging graphics make this game a pleasure to play.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n I love the idea behind this game, and it fits very well the theme. You have a tiny world that looks like the one on the screen, but in grey and you can name and customize it. In your world, there are 3 NPC that you can name too and you can change their dialogs and then talk to them to see it. The corridors on the sides of the screen lead you to the customized worlds of the other players.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, not a lot of people seem to have played the game as I didn\u2019t encountered any other customized world, but I would have loved to and I really enjoyed customizing mine.<\/p>\n It really was a great idea for this theme.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s one of the games I played the most. The execution is just perfect. That\u2019s an avoider game where you play the earth. You battle against several planets of the solar system and ultimately the sun (not that I managed to get that far as the game is quite difficult ;)). Planet throw bullets at you and you just have to avoid them, you can\u2019t fight back.<\/p>\n The gameplay is as simple as it can get, the graphics are engaging, the particle effects are beautiful, and the music fits so perfectly : it really follows the rythm of the particles (or the other way around) and it gets more intense as the battle becomes more intense.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s a great game. A first I thought I wouldn\u2019t play it long because I wouldn\u2019t manage to solve the puzzles. But it\u2019s not really a puzzle game even if it looks like one. It\u2019s part puzzle, part Zelda-like, part something else. It\u2019s quite unique actually. Anyways, in this game you have to move through the different rooms by getting to the arrows. To get to the arrows, you\u2019ll do various things : activate switches, play with a balloon, lure monsters into activating switches, kill monsters, avoid monsters, kill bosses.<\/p>\n What I really enjoy about this game is that there are fights, but you don\u2019t have an attack control. You fight monsters by throwing at them a balloon that you find in some rooms. And it is so much fun ! I finished the game and I\u2019d love to play more of it. That\u2019s a very clever game.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Such a beautiful and poetic game\u2026 It\u2019s a puzzle game where you play a little guy in a snow globe, and in each level the objective is to get to the blue checkpoint. But you can\u2019t do it at first. You have to shake the snow globe : it makes the snow fall (pretty), but more importantly it makes some blocks falls. Some blocks will take several shakings of the globe to fall, according to their pattern. So it\u2019s all about getting at the right place when you shake the snow ball.<\/p>\n I find that the snow globe idea is such a perfect take on the theme. This game has a wonderful mood, the snow-globe-levels are beautiful, and on top of that the concept of the game is very interesting. This is definetly\u00a0my favorite entry on the compo.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ****<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n What I enjoyed a lot when playing and rating games is seeing all the various interpretations that were made of the theme. I tried to list a few categories for fun. And put some entries in them, in case you have time to rate more games.
