After a healthy break over the weekend, it is time to rate a few more games. This time I\u2019m highlighting games with low number of votes, but bring something interesting to the table. Go rate them!<\/p>\n\nAlone .. Developer<\/a> \u2014 I\u2019m glad someone had this idea and actually went through and made it happen! This is a game about controlling a lone programmer as he tries to make a game in 48 hours. Sounds familiar? You have to manage his food\/stamina\/productivity levels through a wholly unhealthy sleep cycle. The bad endings are hilariously extreme. Unfortunately, the game does not have a good ending.\n

Diggy Dig<\/a> \u2014 This is a very cute game about a naked dwarf miner. You dig away the dirt with your mouse, and try to grab the treasure. Beware not to paint yourself into a corner! I like games with novel mechanics like this one. But you also can\u2019t win this one yet. Also: kitten power!<\/p>\n

Alone with Zzzobmies!<\/a> \u2014 This was the first LD22 game that made me actually scared! Great mood, even though problems with collision detection make the game a bit frustrating. Kill those creepy zombies with bricks! Oh, and this game DOES have an ending.<\/p>\n

Squido does not like being alone<\/a> \u2014 An addictive arcade, you have to control squido as he tries to make friends\u2026 unfortunately, sharks and zoidberg will kill your friends all the time, and you have to make MORE friends. Maybe a bit on the tragic side, but a very fun game \u2014 how many squid friends can you keep at the same time?<\/p>\n

Alone in the Clouds<\/a> \u2014 A very beautiful puzzle platform. You have to go to the end of the stage by managing your limited \u201csuperjumps\u201d. In normal mode you can recharge your superjumps infinitely. In hardcore you can\u2019t, and things get really difficult. Beautiful background and transitions + robot in a balloon. There is an ending, and a side door near the end that I didn\u2019t manage to open.<\/p>\n\n

Rating and commenting on every game is hard work. My hats off to those who have already rated more than 30% of the games! At my current rate, I don\u2019t think I can make the 25% treshold, but I hope the devs enjoy my commentaries to their games. If you liked this review, make sure to check my journal<\/a> for a few more.<\/p>\n

Happy new year everyone!<\/p>\n
