And\u2026\u2026 Done! I got through 10% of the total games and I\u2019m mighty impressed. I have been mostly just searching for web games and am pleased that there are soo many games that don\u2019t require anything to download. Anyway, here are my favorites (as in they\u00a0received\u00a0a 4 or 5 in the overall category).<\/p>\n
Atomsmash<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 By Dan C. It\u2019s a C64 game, like for reals. If you bother to you could actually play it on a\u00a0\u00a0Commodore 64, and it would be awesome. If you don\u2019t want to go through that, there is an emulator you can get to experience the awesome for yourself.<\/p>\n Aether<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by Danik. It\u2019s a planet defense game, with a bit of a twist. What happens to the planet on a large scale is experienced on the small scale. I love the concept, and the visuals for both large and small are stunning. Really a great game.<\/p>\n Deconstructorium<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by\u00a0GreyShock. Go into objects and steal their molecules, then use these molecules to destroy the world! Essentially a collection of minigames with a linking story of mad scientist. Really fun and very funny.<\/p>\n This Precious Land<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by\u00a0Ishisoft. A nice puzzle game where you create resources to try to grow a new land. Very relaxing and yet still engaging.<\/p>\n The Good Ship Higgs Boson<\/a> \u2013 by\u00a0Jezzamon. Its a platformer. No, hear me out, it\u2019s a gravity manipulating platformer. Give it a chance, it is actually very polished and provides some good puzzles.<\/p>\n ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING<\/a> \u2013 by Jigxor. This has been on everybody\u2019s top N games list and if you haven\u2019t played it by now, for shame. Anyway, very good, very pretty, very funny, play the game already!<\/p>\n My Little Planetoid<\/a> \u2013 by\u00a0matthias_zarzecki. You build up a planet and evolve to the point where you can travel through space. Very nicely done and relaxing to play. I would also like to thank Mathias Zarzecki for playing everyone\u2019s game. Seriously, look at his coolness, he is really trying to play all of them and I salute you for your efforts.<\/p>\n Atom Planet<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by\u00a0NMcCoy. A little puzzle game that is a mix of minecraft and alchemy, with a cute little character and relaxing music.<\/p>\n Tiny World<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by\u00a0piterlouis. A planetary defense game with a bit of a twist. Defend your planet with your own orbiting moon. Very fun. Should have picked a better title, however.<\/p>\n Michael is Myopic<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by Several. Another puzzle game where you eat to grow, and have to avoid growing too large too fast. Has a nice zoom out feature that just looks awesome.<\/p>\n Tiny World Cardgame<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by SusanTheCat. A fantastic card game that I wish was real. I would play everybody in it. In fact, I\u2019m going to print off the cards as soon as I\u2019m done with this post.<\/p>\n Fracuum<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 by\u00a0TylerGlaiel. A maze game where you zoom in to advance in the maze. Reach the center to win, but there will be enemies trying to impede your progress.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n And there you go, my list of games you should play. It has been a long hard ride through some 140 odd games, but these gems made it all worth while. And, if you are feeling generous, also play my game, Path O\u2019 Invasion<\/a>. Not as good as those games, but it has squishy movement, and really that\u2019s what Ludum Dare is all about.<\/p>\n Tags: ld23<\/a>, review<\/a><\/p>","time":"May 7th, 2012 8:34 am","title":"I\u2019ve played 10%, here are my top n games!"}
