Tiny Spell Jam 2026

Make a small game where casting spells is the core mechanic. 10 days, any engine, solo or in a team. Beginners are very welcome: small and finished beats big and broken.

Theme: Tiny Spells

Your game must revolve around magic: casting, combining, learning, crafting or breaking spells. A wizard shooting fireballs counts, and so does a puzzle where every word is a spell. Surprise us.

Rules

• Make the game during the jam. Reusing your own engine, tools or general code is fine.
• Any engine, 2D or 3D. Web builds are strongly encouraged so more people can play and rate your game.
• Solo or teams of up to 4 people.
• Third-party assets are allowed (free or paid) as long as you have the rights to use them. Credit them on your page.
• No generative AI for art, music, sound effects or writing.
• Keep it safe for work.

Voting

Participants rate each other on Overall, Fun, Magic (how well spells drive the game) and Presentation. Play and rate other entries: it is the best way to get your own game played.
