This magnificient game was ranked #1 in our Finnish Game Week Game Jam! We are delighted and excited to play this game in local tournaments during the Finnish Game Week in November.

The judges have played and scored the games. The rating system the judges used calculated all the stars received together to produce the final score. This system differs slightly from the way Itch.io game jams rank the games, so apologies to Bailzone who is ranked third on the game jam page and Raige who ranked third on the rating system used.

Winners

1. Prize: 3000 euros - Seal Splash
2. Prize: 1000 euros - PUFFBALL!
3. Prize: 500 euros - Raige

The final scores for the top 6 games were:

Congratulations for the winners! We will be contacting you directly!

Asteroids beautifully reimagined! Design and visuals were on point! It had a bit of a learning curve that took a bit from the experience, but overall a solid game! Thanks for submitting it to our jam!

Poor Froggy! This was a beautiful, brutal and polished game. We had fun playing it. Thank you for jamming with use!

Unique mechanics and a brilliant concept! We had some crashes and bugs, but there is definitely potential here! Thanks for participating in our jam!

High-octane thrill ride with smooth controls and excellent immersion! Fiendishly difficult and unforgiving. You need a young person's reflexes to score high. Not suitable for all audiences though 😅 Thanks for the suspense!

Thrilling to the grizzly end! A fully-fledged game with powerups, brilliant difficulty ramp-up and immersion. Considering your game was the first one submitted, it's quite impressive! What a blast!

What a great mashup! Sometimes 1+1 is more than 2 and this was definitely more! We had a bit of difficulty understanding what caused the collected points to be saved or lost. This is almost ready for shipping!

We have the Korobeiniki playing in our heads as we are writing this comment :) What a beautiful tribute to Tetris, with enough original ideas to make it something that stands on it's two feet! Keep working on this one, you could strike gold! Thanks for participating!

Always fun to play a cat and this captured the Alley Cat vibe perfectly! Keep polishing and you will have created the next Untitled Goose Game! Thanks for the purrrs!

Putting aside the problematic issue of landmines, the idea of avoiding and placing obstacles between you and the enemy instead of just shooting them was a nice idea. It needs a bit of work still. Thank you for taking part in our game jam!

Excellent game, interesting mechanics, unique concept, difficult. This has commercial potential! We think you should keep working on this game and maybe make it a level based and ramp up the gravity and difficulty more slowly. Different stars, black holes, wormholes, asteroids etc. Thank you for the experience!

Kablooie we had fun! Perfect gameplay loop, fast games, great sounds and graphics! You even created character customization and a tutorial! You ranked second in the Game Jam and we will contact you shortly! Thanks for all the pearls!

A solid game combining strategy and fast reflexes! Definitely a retro-inspired quality production! You game ranked third in the game jam and we will be contacting your shortly, but first I have to beat that High Score!

This has the beginning of a great adventure game! As a tournament game it could be a bit less complicated. Thanks for letting us play your game!

Wow! What a blast! Music, art, gameplay, ramping difficulty and a cute character to boot! Tens across the board! Well done, you have won the first prize! We will be contacting you as soon as the monitor stops scrolling :)

Absolutely hardcore experience! What a challenging and rewarding gameplay loop! Beautiful and very nostalgic. Flappy Bird eat your shorts! Thanks for making us scream in frustration!

What a beautiful and polished game! We loved it, but some of us had difficulty finding the rings. Thanks for a great submission!

It was a great start for a game, but it ended too soon! Keep going! Thanks for playing!

This was a unique entry! The game has real potential, but we felt it needed a bit more polish. Thanks for submitting!

Excellent fast-paced fun! The game rewards learning to play the game and the thrill of surviving is real. Thanks for your submission!

This game was fun and intuitive to play. We liked to contemporary message with the emojis and it brought us vivid flashbacks of the original Nokia Snake game. Thanks for participating in our Game Jam!
