After a fun weekend of game-making and experimenting, the first phase of the dot big bang Summer Jam is over. And now, it’s time to have some fun playing all the games people made. Read on to see the games!
The jam’s theme was “blockbuster”. People interpreted it in a variety of ways, from a Western-themed parkour adventure, to a sci-fi mech game, an abstract underwater community, a beachside shoot-out, and a pair of literal block-busting brick breaker games.
They’ll each get a streamed play-through from a panel of dot big bang devs this Friday at the Summer Jam Judging Stream on Friday, August 4th. You can watch on the dot big bang Twitch and YouTube channels.
