What amazing games! We were considering not re-doing this jam because of low turnout BUT the games were so moving, so fun, and so high quality that not only are we doing this again we are DOUBLING THE PRIZE POOL!

https://itch.io/jam/uplifting-game-jam-for-artists-cash-prizes-doubled

And on to the prize winners!

1ST PLACE: KISMET

A game about the value of the small things. Helping people. That life is more than what we just do for work. Very moving game with a very positive message.

2ND PLACE: COMPANION

What delightful art. How unique. Despite the slow moving grandma was never bored! Very easy to learn and start playing right away. And only made in 2 days!

3RD PLACE: STEER CLEAR

Escape a china shop without damaging too many goods on your cow. What a hilarious concept. A real kick to play. The sounds the cow make are so funny. Definitely humorously uplifting.

And there you have it! Thank you so much to the participants. Will message the top finishers either on itch or email to discuss how we can send your prize. Join us again for game jam fun above!

Evaluated 7 games and 3 to go. Really some high quality fun stuff this time around!

Hey All! Will start evaluating the top 10 in the ratings around Aug 4th. Looking forward!

Hello all. We've had a lot of submissions for games made before the jam period began. A reminder that the game either needs to be new or an updated previously accepted LightBear Software game jam entry.

You can update a game from a previous LightBear Software game jam!

sent an email. 

aha!

This games art was really good and loved our logo on the wall ^_^ . I couldn't figure out how to recycle the glass bottles! I would pick them up but they wouldn't go in the bin. 

ok perfect. 

congrats on getting 2nd! Don't see contact info over here. Just want to make sure that this email is you karaoglanh478@gmail.com .

Got an email from this address claiming it was the creator of this game.

Did you submit your contact info? Don't see it here. We want to award you a tie for 3rd place.

It was difficult to choose in the top 10. The top 4 of the top 10 according to subjective opinion of LightBear Software is
Popow
Nightingale And The Rose
Silva Wonder
Math Blast

Let's give 4 prizes because why not! To keep it simple we will award those 4 games in the vote order they were placed in.

Popow - $102
Nightingale And The Rose - $68
Silva Wonder - $34
Math Blast - $34

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING. Will send out emails to the cash recipients.
We have another jam if you would like to update your current game or create a new one! Only one submission per account this time.
https://itch.io/jam/uplifting-game-jam-for-artists-cash-prizes

didn't run for me!


that would be so lame if someone did that. Voted 1 star on everything else so they could get in the top 10

thanks for the comments. We did have a rating queue to discourage cheating (you could only rate 5 games at a time). Did the rating queue work, we forgot to check!

In the future only one submission per team to get a better representation of the top 10 may help.

hear ya.. we can consider it for future jams

yeah its fine as long as it follows the current jam rules. Why would you not be able to receive winnings? If you can't receive them I suppose we can award the next runner up the prize

not yet

only the rules on the main page. no theme.

Feel free to update a submission from this game jam and improve it in the next one. Next game jam has only one submission per person.

Plan to take a look at the top 10 and decide on prizes in the upcoming week.

Congrats! 175 is impressive for a new player. Yeah on Steam we have a leaderboard. You'd be around 4th-5th. Thanks for the suggestions!

and we are doing it again ^_^.

thanks for the honesty! Even if the game was intended for another jam it still falls within the rules of this jam since it was published on June 6th which is after this jam started (at least according to your itch page).

No platformer platformer fell within the rules of the jam. It was first published after the submission process started. If it was worked on beforehand that is okay. It was also uplifting and made for a good laugh.

updating is okay
