Making a game for #GGJ? Focus on "Juicy" mechanics over complex systems.
​Concept: Bubble maze
​The Player: A bubble.
​The Plan: Use floaty, physics-based wind forces (WASD/Mouse)
​The Logic: High bounciness + a dramatic particle effect "Pop!" on collision.
​Fri: Create physics-based wind movement (WASD/Mouse).
Sat: Add hazards and "Pop" logic with big particle effects.
Sun: Finally polish bounciness and shaders.
The Goal: High juice, low complexity. Make every collision feel dramatic!

The Global Game Jam is an event where participants create their own games based on a theme that the GGJ Organization chooses. Participants have one week to work on their game and submit it. in 2026, Hackforgers submitted a record breaking 12 games!

Here are the awesome and super cool games all the participants at Hackforge made for the 2026 Mask theme https://globalgamejam.org/group/31077/games

I forgot to share it here, but I participated in the #GlobalGameJam 2026 a few weeks ago!

Dion, Max and I made “Suncatcher”, a cyberpunk makeover game with a little interactive narrative. ☀️🤖

You can play it through itch.io!

Updated the game with some much-needed bugfixes.

I don't know whether we're going to keep working on this. If past game jams are any indication: probably not.

Though one person who played it said "I could quite happily play a hundred levels of that" which was VERY gratifying!

Background art for our Global Game Jam 2026 game. The original idea was to paint the ocean floor, but it turned into a beach instead. That’s why our character wears things like a scuba tank and a rubber ring.

Painted with watercolors on A4 paper.

MASCARIA by Dag

A single-player roguelike card game inspired by Scopa (a classic Italian card game)

I did #globalgamejam this weekend, and one of my teammates used Procreate. He shared palette swatches which I could not open in @GIMP ...

...I took that as a personal challenge. :)

Afterwards I reviewed the files (zipped JSON) and few others I found online, and submitted a merge request to add initial support.

Here are all the other entries to the #GlobalGameJam from Edinburgh

Videogame aficionados! 🕹️ I took part in my first ever game jam last weekend, alongside @AzureDusk10 and 60(!?) other people in #Edinburgh! It was quite a wild ride!

Had the pleasure to team up with andrewmc.me to make this:
