Hello, everyone! We want to thank everyone that has participated in this game jam. We've already started playing some of the games that have been submitted and we've been very impressed!

We have seen developers mention they were unable to submit their game at the deadline. If you were unable to submit your game before the deadline, please read the following instructions to be entered as a Late Submission:

Send an email to support@coolmath.com with the subject "Coolmath Game Jam 2026 Late Entry: [YOUR GAME NAME]." Please include a link to your game along with any additional information.

LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL 12AM THURSDAY, JUNE 11. ANY SUBMISSIONS SENT AFTER MIDNIGHT ON JUNE 11 WILL NOT BE INCLUDED.

Thank you again to everyone who has participated in this jam and with the community! We will be sure to keep you updated on the winner selection process!

If you are accepting late submissions until then, are you accepting game updates until then? Are late submissions rated the same as others?

Hi Prizmatica Games! The late submissions will only be featured in the submissions of the game jam on itch.io and will not be eligible to win the prizes due to being late.

That make sense, I'm excited to see what people come up with. Thank you!

what games have won? can you post a link to the result page in https://www.coolmathgames.com/ ? I don't seem to find a page about this jam in it.

Hi 2010-Dev! We are still going through the games that were submitted - we hope to announce the winners before the end of the month!

I was able to submit on time but i have a on release bug am I allowed to fix this? I wouldnt be doing a new submission just uploading a patched file?

Prizmatica GamesSubmitted12 days ago (1 edit)

Updates and bug fixes need to be done after. They responded to something similar in another thread.

Seems to be like this nullifies that since this is basically extending the deadline by 4 days for some but not for everyone otherwise it wouldnt be fair. Also if its not stated on the home page rules but is a reply to someone else ? Welp I guess ill leave it as is then. Kinda not your usual game jam but i had fun regardless.

According to the reply above (from them in this thread) it sounds like these new late submissions arent eligible for the prize, but moreso just to be included for the submission page I guess?

Hi Gizmo199! Yes that is correct; late submissions are not going to be eligible for the prize. We are doing late submissions to allow developers to have their game featured in the submissions page of the game jam.
