GAME JAM LIMITED SHAPES JURY RESULTS
The Jury ranking is ready 馃檪 ! The jury and public were mostly on the same wavelength this game jam round.
These are the results:
#1 PentaPulse
With its polished visuals, immersive audio, creative use of shapes, and engaging gameplay, complete with an exciting boss fight, the game impressed the jury and claimed the top spot, earning a $200 Amazon Gift Card. @Stealthix @4tenmu
#2 Confining Islands
This calm yet challenging puzzle game masterfully embraced the limited space theme and the limited shapes were clever used, keeping the jury hooked as they chased higher scores. Its addictive design earned it second place and a $100 Amazon Gift Card. @colnnor
#3 LET THE SHA PES DIE
The jury loved the unique mechanic of fallen shapes piling up to restrict space even further, combined with strong visuals, audio, and gameplay. These elements secured third place and a $25 Amazon Gift Card. @Josep Valls
#GAMEPLAY/FUN=Shape Escape
Clever level design and the gradual introduction of new elements make this puzzle-platformer consistently fun and satisfying which secured a $25 Amazon Gift Card. @TripleJ Dev
#VISUALS=Ancient conduits
Great visuals crafted with only the allowed shapes made this game a winner in the visuals category, earning it a $25 Amazon Gift Card. @_lowtone
#AUDIO=Circle Beats
With a name like Circle Beats, great audio was expected and it delivered. The catchy beats paired perfectly with the addictive gameplay, winning the audio category and a $25 Amazon Gift Card. @Devluke @merulon
#THEME=Work-life balance IN SPACE
It was a close call in the theme category, but limiting the entire game building experience to a tiny (crowded) planet was a nice interpretation of the theme. This creative approach earned the category win and a $25 Amazon Gift Card. @kkcn
