Hi! I'm Valent铆n, a 17 years old kiddo from Spain, I got interested in game development since I was 12 and I've been practicing since. At first I used Game Maker but 8 months ago I started using Unity (My game is made with Unity) and I think starting using Unity actually made my games be better. I've only participated in 2 Jams, this one and the "GuinxuJam2019", a month ago, which I won! Here's my game :D https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552783

Hello. My name is Ross. I've been developing games for almost 1 year and I'm going to study game development at college in a month.
This is the 5th game-jam I've participated in.
When I started the jam, the first thing that I thought of was "Annoying AI". So after 1h of coding it, I found that it was rubbish. So I thought about all interpretations of the topic, and came up with a movement bug, where only one key works. And from there, everything seemed to transition smoothly. I think the best part was the fact some of the bugs were "unintentional" so it really helps not needing to fix them. It's really great to see how supportive everyone is to each-other.My advice to people in the future, "Focus on the core mechanics. Not the art, not the story, the mechanics, once you've done that, the rest will follow".

Hey!
I made a little puzzle game with unique mechanics. The player has the ability to flip the normals and the gravity of the 3D world in order to solve the mini puzzle. This was my second jam since starting game dev Oct 2018, and it was amazing WOWWIIEEEE. I'm probably going to make a video of the jam too! I hope you enjoy it! :DD

Hi my name's waterlemon, this was my third game jam (second one where I actually finished a game though). The jam was a lot of fun, I loved the theme and my first thought was about bugs that speedrunners use, which is what I based my game around (making a game pop you out of a solid if you are stuck). Really happy with what I turned out with. I spent a lot of time getting people to playtest and trying to make this game not very difficult as this was a major complaint from my last jam game, dont think I fully succeeded but its a really big improvement from my last game! I hope you enjoy my game, thanks!
Hi,
me and my friend decided to join our first game jam. He made the Music, Sound Effects and some of the Story-Elements, while I did the programming and the art for the game. In the beginning, we wanted to create a fun little Quiz game, where you get asked questions by a bird, which doesn't like wrong answers. We ended up spending way more time on the project, than intended, because we never thought about how much dialogue we had to implement. In the end we still managed to upload a finished game, although we had to scrap some Questions. This game jam was a lot of fun and the community was very helpful. Thanks! https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/551625

This is my first public game and my first game jam
I'm 19 years old and just started my career as a developer
I'm studying college and it would make me too excited and motivated to see that my game is in a YouTube video if people like it
I would like to know what I can improve and to continue growing
It's always you being attacked by yet another virus. If only there was a way to control it...
In this fun, yet simple game, you play as a computer virus that tries to destroy every last PC on the planet. The only problem is: some people are smart, and have installed an antivirus software. However, it's your job to make sure that the bugs don't get caught and destroyed. Can you do it? If so, try and beat your best time and comment it in the comments section of the game!
This game had a lot of effort gone into it and I would greatly appreciate it if you were to rate it. Thank you :)
Thank you all so much for sharing you great submissions.
I now played through most of them and I'm amazed by the power and creativity you put into them.
It is easpeacilly great to see many young developers starting out in this jam.

I'll happily play any further submission posted here, but can't guarantee that they'll bne considered for the best of video.
And, lets put my game here as well: https://lenscas.itch.io/glitch-dungeon
I'm a student, studying computer science. I landed a job where we make websites for various other companies using C# and Typescript. This is my first game jam and except for a VR Demo I made during an internship some years ago it is also pretty much my only game. I'm not counting the game I'm working on in my off time (arena keeper) as that doesn't really have any game play yet
My game is "easy". Get as many points as possible by grabbing weapons and killing enemies. The catch? Some enemies have their life set in the negatives due to a "bug". Luckily some guns have a similar bug and actually deal negative damage.
Gun's also have weird random pattern(s) set that their bullets follow. Making it sometimes hard to aim.
here is my game! https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552777

Hello. My name is Niko and I'm 16. This is my first game jam ever. I've been wanting to participate in a jam for a while but I never did because I thought I was not good enough and would not be able to finish my game in time. But when Jonas announced that he was going to host a jam I immediately joined it and I'm glad I did. Making the game was not only a ton of fun I also feel like I learned a lot from this experience and it just felt great to finish and publish a project for once.
My game is a top-down shooter with weird, bugged controls. For example, the only way to move the player is through the recoil of his guns.
Thank you for this thread and this opportunity. My game does have it's flaws which I didn't notice when play testing the game but it can still be a fun to play and I really hope you enjoy it

Thanks everybody for waiting.
I played all of your games and the video showing the top 10 game is now finished.
Eventhough it says to be a top ten I tried to put in many more.
That you all created these beautiful and creative pieces is truely a testament to you skills.
I was a lot of fun and I hope you all will continue your gamedev journey.
See you in the next jam.
Yes I can馃槈
I fact it was wery close to be in the video and hard to decide.
On of the reasons it that your game is a platformer.
Don't get me wrong here, you made really good one at that,
but for platmormers there are many entries
(4 entries of the top 10 were 2d platformers).
That set the quality bar quite high for platformers and
the reason why your game missed the final cut. 鉁傦笍
