💖 The Heartwarming Jam 💖

48 hours to make a small game that feels nice to play ✨

🌿

About

Welcome to the Heartwarming Jam — a low-pressure weekend where we try to make games that are gentle, funny, or just contemplative.

We're Toropipou Games, a studio who likes making video games and sharing it with people. No big expectations — just make something that feels honest or cozy in your own way.

The Vibe

It could be a quiet walk in the woods, a small act of kindness, or a dumb joke with good timing.
Anything that makes someone smile (or just not stressed) fits perfectly here.

Rules & Timeline

You've got 48 hours to make your game — (with +24h for submission).
Solo or team, any engine, any tools — do what feels right (Check our Discord if you look for a team or help).
Keep everything positive and respectful — that's the main rule.
