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 \u201cOur God Lives Underground\u201d by Andrew Shouldice for LD29. I still haven\u2019t 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.<\/div>\n

Here is my top ten, In no specific order after three solid days playing entries. These are a mix of Jam and Compo entries.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I also realised that I am a sucker for a great teaser image, \u201cSpace\u201d in the title or intriguing game names!<\/div>\n
