First time making a game and I bit off way more than I could chew, so the game is super jank but at least its playable. How's everyone else's experience so far?

Had to stay up all night to finish mine too, no headache though... yet

I was up until 1:00 in the morning last night to make sure it was done on time today. This is my 5th or so game jam, and I STILL bite off more than I can chew :D

I'm really happy with how my game turned out; can't wait to start looking at submissions!

Same here. I even thought I'm doing pretty good but still run out of time and had to leave many ideas out:

Was fun regardeless.

Super burnt out, but content.

Despite a few cut corners and some remaining jank i managed to make it and have something somehow close to what i had in mind :)

Hyped to see all the other games now ^^

edit: Lets gooooo

I'm just happy I finished it, idk if mine actually got in cause I submitted it at the last possible second lol

Ye, It's my first gamejam and I have a headache too

i somehow managed to do mine without extreme hurry or staying up until the middle of the night. this was my 3rd game jam, and my longest yet, 10 days is quite a lot of time for a game jam! i did have to cut some ideas, like an infinite mode, but my game is fun and playable, and that's the most important thing.

Great, I drink more coffee than I would like, and sleep deprived

First Jam here as well, joining the jank club!
