WELCOME TO AVALANCHE GAMELOOP – SEASON 1: HIGH SCORE!
Avalanche GameLoop isn't just another jam; it's a community built to empower game developers with recurring events, promotions, and opportunities. 

SEASON 1 THEME: HIGH SCORE!
Make a browser game where players compete for a HIGH SCORE! It can be a new idea or something you've already been tinkering with. 

HIGH SCORE TOURNAMENT - FUNTICO.COM
Instead of building in a vacuum, your game will be featured in a global tournament on Funtico.com. This means a real audience will be incentivized to play your game with thousands of dollars in prizes! Getting you real-world feedback from day one! We'll mirror submissions straight from itch.io or the link you submit and guide you along the way, so migration will be quick and easy.
