About 8 days to give ratings to games. Now I can just relax and play all the wonderful games :joystick:

The games are very diverse as is our community, around the globe.:grinning:

I did play all titles now, looked into different aspects of gameplay, story, relation to the jam topic, graphics, playability, depth, replay value and what just makes the most fun just in my personal opinion. Very tough decision i must say.
I am trying to convince my daughter to test the games, too…
