These games go the extra mile to be a little bit different, bringing something new to the LD environment. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.everythingisaremix.info\/watch-the-series\/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch and learn!<\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=18580\" target=\"_blank\">Super Escape<\/a> \u2013 by Saspiron<\/li>\n<p><img height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/thumb\/6734df9eddf550cb196f8b818d52e749.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This game can best be described as a \u201cTurn based platformer\u201d. You control a character with your mouse, as he walks and jumps through very fast traps. Thing is: if you don\u2019t move your mouse, the traps won\u2019t move either! Great concept, some nasty bugs.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2507\" target=\"_blank\">Red Legion<\/a> \u2013 by DeathBySnail<\/li>\n<p><img height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/thumb\/82ad4d82fea922bcbbab62f1cd79986f.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Normally I don\u2019t like \u201cstory\u201d games, but this one is great. Not only it has an interesting, funny story, but it also managed to include a typing based fighting mechanics that is actually relevant to the storytelling.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2587\" target=\"_blank\">Burglary<\/a> \u2013 by Tobias Wehrum<\/li>\n<p><img height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/thumb\/9266de86417d1b4ceef16d01e31db08f.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Burglary is a sneaking-and-lighting game with two interesting twists: You control the light level, and a very interesting unlocking minigame. The difficulty of the unlocking game is based on the current light level, so you have to balance how much you see the world, how easy the lock-unlock is, and how easy it is for your enemies to notice you.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=4681\" target=\"_blank\">Ante-christmas<\/a> \u2013 by nSun<\/li>\n<p><img height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/thumb\/c616aaa70a23596bc7c4e518cd9c6fe6.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This game does a great job at replicating those old liquid display \u201cgame and watch\u201d series. Not only on the graphics, but also on the play style, and the overall feel. If you are older than 20, prepare to be awash by the nostalgia.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=19058\" target=\"_blank\">Space Greed<\/a> \u2013 by lotusgame<\/li>\n<p><img height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/thumb\/a01bb3d2ba019f0c2c1dfe0f2e4c5c19.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A multiplayer game with two games in one: The game is a top down shoot them up, but you also get to build your own base, which will be the game stage for other players. The idea is quite fun, but balance isn\u2019t quite there yet: It is pretty hard to get money to build up your own base \u2013 so it gets old rather fast.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Hope you liked the reviews. I will take an extended break for the new Years, and I will be back to rate more games after the 5th! I hope I can break the 100 barrier!<\/p>\n<p>In the meanwhile, please read my previous review posts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/12\/19\/its-simple-we-uh-rate-the-games\/\" target=\"_blank\">Review List 1: Good use of the Theme<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/12\/21\/ever-rated-games-by-the-pale-moonlight\/\" target=\"_blank\">Review List 2: Awesome Graphics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/12\/23\/rating-fun-games-for-christmas\/\" target=\"_blank\">Review List 3: Fun games<\/a><\/li>\n<ul>\n<p>And if you could also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=7847\">rate my own game<\/a>, that would be great:<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/innovative\/\" rel=\"tag\">innovative<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/rating\/\" rel=\"tag\">rating<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/reviews\/\" rel=\"tag\">reviews<\/a><\/p> <\/ul><\/ul><\/ul>","time":"December 27th, 2012 7:45 am","title":"No, Mr. Bond!
