100 games rated!

I’ve had not much activity during the holidays, but I finally managed to rate 100 games. It’s been an amazing experience. This is my first Ludum Dare and one of the surprises for me has been realizing that the rating part of the jam is equally or even more fun than developing the game. I’ve been rating games showed in the main play & rate page with “default” sorting.

Here are some of the games I enjoyed the most.

 

Mordor Must Resist!

 

 

I loved this game because it’s a good example of what Ludum Dare should be. It’s a simple concept but very well executed. The artwork and sound fit well in the theme. The gameplay is simple but fun, I played it for hours.

 

Hopesington

 

This is my favorite game so far. I loved the gameplay, very innovative and fun. Loved the tiny graphics and the small ant colony feeling. It’s full of nice details. True gem!

My Little Terrorist

Another cool game with interesting mechanics and a lot of black humor. I love crafting games and unusual game mechanics.

ALL EARTHLINGS MUST DIE!!!!!!

I liked this games because the idea is similar to the one I used for my game, but this was much better executed. It had better gameplay, graphics and sound. And it was really fun!

 

Note: A simple idea
I can see it’s going to be impossible to rate all the games. My realistic goal is to reach 200 before the deadline. It’s sad not having time to rate all the games. It would be nice have multiple rating stages so we all could play at least the best games. For example, we can have a first stage of 5 days with all the games, then another 5 days stage with only only half of the games, the best rated from the previous stage and so on until we all rate the top n games. What do you think about it? (Note: you probably have discussed this in the past, sorry if I missed that).

    I rather like your staged rating idea, just wonder if people might feel it’d make the whole thing feel a little less inclusive of everyone. But yeah it would be nice to get down to a final showdown of 10/20 games that everyone could play and choose their favourite.
