Here are some I enjoyed so far:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=18086\" title=\"Network Programming\">Network Programming<\/a> \u2013 Oh man, the audio on this one is not to miss. You\u2019re trying to reclaim your soul from within a series of TV channels, by doing minigames while some hilarious background audio plays.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=46572\" title=\"Escape Character\">Escape Character<\/a>\u00a0&amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=18011\" title=\"OMNI\">OMNI<\/a> \u2013 There were a few \u201ctrapped in a computer\u201d games, and these were the best. Escape Character is really on top of its look and feel, while OMNI is really clever about moving the screen (but a little tough to control).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=3294\" title=\"Squishi\">Squishi<\/a> \u2013 There were also a few \u201crebuild the screen\u201d games, and this one does it best, I think. It also ramps up the difficulty slowly, which is a nice change from lots of the platformers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=15341\" title=\"Hit and Slide\">Hit and Slide<\/a> \u2013 A networked brawl? Count me in! Has a few mechanics issues, but I found myself playing a lot more of this game than I needed to just to write the review. It\u2019s just fun!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=34229\" title=\"Owls Ever After\">Owls Ever After<\/a> \u2013\u00a0Explore your memories and find inconsistencies to get around the fuzzy areas in your past. Also has a really great visual style.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2958\" title=\"Microphyla\">Microphyla<\/a> \u2013 Very Metroid-y. Solid mechanics, lots of fun, very well designed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=7512\" title=\"Shifting Dungeon\">Shifting Dungeon<\/a> \u2013 A dungeon exploration game where the dungeon scrolls and shifts around you. Another great take on the theme.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=10948\" title=\"Photo Bound\">Photo Bound<\/a> \u2013\u00a0Took me longer than normal to \u201cget it\u201d, but the concept is solid and pretty clever. Nice visuals, and decent controls.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been really impressed by the creativity and technical prowess of many of the entries. Really cool games, guys and gals! Keep it up!<\/p>","time":"December 13th, 2014 12:48 am","title":"Cool games so far","title_was_empty":false}
