Learn something new
Welcome to the first friendly HYTOPIA Game Jam! Over the next two weeks, you’ll harness the power of the HYTOPIA SDK to craft innovative, web-based mini-games. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or new to game creation, this is your opportunity to explore our new engine and showcase your creativity.
Platforms
Jump, climb, team up, or go solo platforms are what you make of them!
For this jam, we want single player games with social elements. That means your game should work for players who are solo or hanging out with their friends. Don't worry, the HYTOPIA SDK makes this easy, and the team is on hand to help!
