Hi everyone,

Finally played enough games to feel like I can pick my favorites fairly ;D

Here they are in no particular order:

Bug Buster

This is less of a game and more of a really, really cool gimmick. It’s a side-scroller shmup where you can press a button to slow down time. Nothing new here, right? But the brilliance of this game is showing you a real-time replay of your match after it ends. It’s incredibly cool and you will feel like Goku or the Flash after you watch what you just did.

Total Spaghetification

I beg you to give this game a chance. The controls are weird, but the designer really incorporated them into the tightest level design I’ve seen in a jam entry. Really good game all around. TIP: to wall jump, you need to hold the jump button while you press the slide button to do the actual jumping!

Chrono Blood Ninja

This is very raw and simple, but I had to include it because it impersonates what I feel like should be the guideline for every jam game: do very little, but do whatever it is that you do very well. And this minimalist game really delivers on this regard – the very little art, gameplay and sound that exist are all exquisite. I would love to see a more developed version of this little game.

Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer Falls to Hit Death

One of the most polished game in this jam. Really funny as well! I won’t spoil it, just go and play the damn thing.

Antidote

A 3D game that actually does not suck is a feat in and of itself in a game jam. This is not an original idea for a game by any stretch of the imagination, but the feel and controls are spot on. Really enjoyable!

SwapArcade

I won’t spoil this one either. It’s just a good laugh, but what a good laugh it is!

Royal Defenestrator
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=25048

The funniest entry in this jam, bar none. If I could give this 6 out of 5 stars for humour I would, since I was laughing my way through the entirety of it. That’s how mature I am.

10 Seconds Until the World Ends
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=25182

Really moody and a very interesting idea. One of the most well-realised entries in this jam overall!

The Super Fair Trial Show
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=11099

The most playable game I’ve tried in this jam. It’s not original in gameplay, but the theme and atmosphere are amazing, and it’s a game that you will actually want to keep playing instead of just quickly switching to the next one.

And of course I have to plug my own entry, Adventure Company:

I am proud of what I was able to do, especially considering this was my first jam by myself. If you like tactics game, Gauntlet, and/or ridiculous depictions of violence, I guarantee that you will like my game : D
