I played your GMTK Game Jam 2022 games!

Hello! Last week I asked you to send me the games you made for the GMTK Game Jam, and offered to play them. I expected to receive a few. A small handful. A little pile.

By the time the deadline was up, I had received 100 games! Eek.

But! Here we are. I played almost all of them and shared my thoughts, feelings, and feedback.

Please take the feedback as intended: just my honest thoughts while playing the games for the first time. I'm also one man with specific tastes, so not every type of game is going to tickle my fancy.

I skipped a few games. A Gamble with Death is a very attractive game with a cool premise, but the video was just me reading lots of text aloud and it didn't make for fun footage. Dice & Chess and Super Tabletop Toss Arena are multiplayer only, and I was sadly playing these games alone.

DIEmunition made the top 20, so you've had enough Mark love. El Dieritch didn’t work. And Rubiks Dice, really unfair soccer, and Berb Hike were played on stream.

The rest, I played!
