Ludum Dare 17 wrapped up recently. The theme of the 48-hour competition was “Islands”, and there were 204 entries total! Retro Affect‘s Kyle Pulver won best overall with Gaiadi. In the game you have to build islands and fight off swarms of enemies while you try and complete your goal of planting 3 “seeds”. The timelapse of Gaiadi’s development is shown above.

You can see all of the top 20 games here. Some really impressive work for 48 hours.
