Manon's Reviews Rewind: Ectocomp [31/Back!], Partim500 [DONE*],

I guess I can spare a few words for L’Incombustible 3000, my own entry. Which is essentially set in the P-Rix - Space Trucker universe (same protagonist, different ship, also now in French). You need to repair your broken ship, in the middle of empty space, by your lone self.
It was also made in the course of a weekend.


Some final notes:
The Noumvim3000 is always a fun jam to participate in. The theme is revealed on the first day of the jam, so the week prior to it, we bet on what word Feldo will pick: they all start with in-, so there’s a limited list, so only 9425 of them (minus 6, now).

And every year, it’s so fascinating to see how every participant interpreted the theme. Even when two entries share a particular definition, no two games are the same. There are always twists to it - it’s encouraged even. This was no different this year, with imcombustible.

Another interesting thing is seeing how everyone use their 500 to 3000 words. We often get prologues and prototypes, along with short adventures. Some of us struggle to keep to either limits, some of us manage without a hitch. It’s fun to see how it pans out.

I’m looking forward to next year, when the next in- theme is revealed!
