It was a total chaos for me 馃槀. Had to make it in 2 days coz I couldn't figure out the mechanics at first. I just submitted the game with 1 hour left 馃槵

It was my first Jam and boy was it fun but hard. The game was finished but looks very bad and is frankly terrible but i did learn a lot from this Jam so thanks Brackeys

Submitted

Learning is the main thing. Game jams are really a great way to learn 馃槂

Submitted

I teamed up with SnutiHQ and Xeethrax to create an awesome game. Was my first jam and had a blast :)

I am also a beginner I spend hours to make my game, it is one of my beginner games. I mainly learnt time management from the jam.

I thought it was realy fun!  Got to learn a lot of new things that I probably would never have learned if it was not because of this game jam

It was really fun. Here is the link: https://moocownews.itch.io/10-minutes-to-save-the-world

It was really fun. and very frustrating when i found a bug and didn't know how to fix it

Submitted

Love the style in your game and the humor :D

Submitted

thank you so much, i'm glad to hear that

Submitted

The experience was very fun! I am new to the field but felt the motivation of having a specific theme and deadline really helped me get to a playable build fast.  Gained tons of experience searching for solutions to problems along the way!

Submitted

Not exactly what I was expecting honestly XD

Started off amazing then made me want to cry then back to amazing xD  yesterday evening I built it for the first time and everything broke, but after 2.5 hours of sleep I was able to fix everything! Doing my first jam solo was a bit intense but overall a great experience. (my game: https://loud-mines.itch.io/the-boxer )

It was alot of fun, it's amazing how fast you learn when you are put under a bit of pressure.

Submitted it with 25 mins to spare Q_Q Only had 4 days to work on it as my group and I were bouncing around ideas for a few days. In the future, I think it's important dedicate no more than 10% of the time in the pre-production phase.

It was realy cool, but at the end I was very tired.

I think 7 days is too long for me.

It was my first jam, and I liked it.

Thanks for the experience. 


Here is my game: https://ttdever.itch.io/sci

It is no very good, but it is playable xD.

It was a crazy experience. Just submitted in the last few minutes.

This is my first game jam. Sadly my game wasn't able to be finished because most of my files were deleted in the process of submitting my game. I managed to make a game but isn't as good as my original copy.

Submitted

Its really sad to hear. But hey at least you have complete gam

Submitted

I submitted with 3 minutes left even though i could add everything i wanted to

First game jam, solo dev too. Definitely chaotic and didn't turn out exactly how I wanted with some errors still here and there, but definitely was a TON of fun, would gladly do it again! I submitted with 1 minute 17 seconds left too lol
