The thrice-yearly Ludum Dare competition recently wrapped up its 26th round of lightning-speed game development challenges, receiving over 2,300 submissions from game creators the world over.

This time around that theme was "minimalism", teaching us all a lesson about doing a lot using very little. Or something like that.
