Welcome

Welcome all developers, artists, and designers to Infinite Horizons, a 4-day game jam hosted by Bezi dedicated to the fast-paced, never-ending fun of endless runners! From Cubefield to Temple Run to Alto's Odyssey, these narrowly missed obstacles and quests for 'high scores!' have captivated players for decades.

Your game must be an endless runner at its core, but it can be a side-scroller, top-down, 2D or 3D - it's all up to you. You are free to add in different gameplay mechanics like roguelike elements, puzzle segments, or story-based progression. Just ensure that the challenge continues and increases in difficulty until the player fails.

It can help with coding and script writing, debugging and optimization, and technical explanations. Bezi is currently in closed beta, but you can sign up here and put "game jam" or "itch.io" in the referral form for priority access and 3 months free!
