Making a video game in 48 hours is tough. In fact, it's one of the most gruelling mental challenges you can face. But every 4 months, thousands of die hard game developers enter Ludum Dare, a game jam of epic proportions. And they're not doing it for the prizes (there aren't any) or even the glory. They're doing it to give the gift of a game. And when it's a game you have created yourself, it's a very personal and powerful gift.
So Ludum Dare 28 came and went last weekend and the theme was 'You Only Get One'. Here's a quick round up of the superb PlayCanvas games that were submitted this time around.

At PlayCanvas we love to Jam. Specifically, we love to Game Jam. And of all the Game Jams, the one we love the most is the "build a game in a weekend with nothing more than your wits" Jam called Ludum Dare.
Ludum Dare 26 is coming up this weekend. To celebrate we're giving anyone who wants to enter using PlayCanvas instant access to our closed Beta. To double celebrate if you submit a game using PlayCanvas we'll give you a full year's subscription to the Indie plan when we go public in a few weeks. That's over $150 worth of HTML5 game-dev goodness right there.
