Welcome to Catch-Up Jam!

Hey everyone! Last week I took part in the GMTK Game Jam 2026, but due to unexpected circumstances I almost completely missed the last two days out of four. I tried to submit what I had - but at the very last moments some bugs appeared that weren't there before, so I had to give up on that idea. I still want to finish my project. And I invite everyone who has ever faced a similar situation to join me.

How it works:

This is an unranked, completely free Jam. The only real goal is to finally submit a game you started for another Jam in the past and couldn't finish in time. 

When you submit, you'll be asked to name the original Jam and, if you're comfortable, share why you missed the deadline. It's completely optional. The idea isn't to make excuses - it's to learn from each other and remind ourselves that life is unpredictable. Sometimes things just don't go as planned, and that's okay.

Guidelines:

• Try to follow the rules of the original Jam you are finishing your project for
• No AI-generated content (unless the original Jam explicitly allowed it)
• No hateful, offensive or NSFW content. Keep it respectful and welcoming
• Use only assets you have rights to (credit any third-party assets properly)

Why Join?

The main reward is the experience you gain by creating a game and the closure of finally pressing that submit button

P.S. This is my first attempt at hosting a Jam. If you have any advice, suggestions or ideas - I'm completely open to feedback. Let's learn together!
