I took a couple of days off work to rest up after the 48 hour push and play a ton of LD entries. I find the best way to do it is to play a bunch of them and rate as you go and then think back to which ones make an impression. One of my favourite ones ever was a game called “Our God Lives Underground” by Andrew Shouldice for LD29. I still haven’t found one that has stuck with me as much as that game. Something about the tone and implication of narrative and style just connected with me. Our god lives underground – http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=22249 Here is my top ten, In no specific order after three solid days playing entries. These are a mix of Jam and Compo entries. I also realised that I am a sucker for a great teaser image, “Space” in the title or intriguing game names! Orion http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=8733 Loved the atmosphere and tone in this one. Galaxia http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=22521 Played this for a lot longer than I should have….
