Brilliant game! Loved the jingle .. it is going to be stuck in my head the whole day. What did you code it in (language, frameworks?)?

It's not technically a LD entry (I spent far too long on non-game bits and forgot to actually add a game) but I'm quite proud of it and resolve to finish the damn thing eventually. Warning, Chrome(+WebGL) only, hideously unoptomised and sits there unresponsive for a few seconds before starting abruptly. WASD to steer, shift to thrust. Do not press space, space is broken:

Xhon - a 10 second platformer

You play an alien life form that pollinates itself by shooting out spore that live for only 10 seconds. Some of your pods give the spore special powers!

Multiplayer games are so hard to get to work in LD where players arrive sporadically :( I had a similar silence for attempt a few LDs back: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/08/30/cage-flight-autops...

Hey I remember that game. I was able to get a dozen or so people to log in at the same time towards the end of the competition, but I don't expect more of that during voting. (Also I can't seem to keep the server up)
