The Global Game Jam 2024 is over, and now it’s time for the funnest part of all—checking out all the games people made!
The theme for this year’s jam was Make Me Laugh, and entrants made nine very varied games in response. From a stand-up comedy simulator, to a food-based 3D shooter, to a Katamari-inspired ball-rolling creature collector, there are some really interesting games to try.
And all the more impressive—all these games were made in just two days! Read on for the full rundown, and be sure to drop likes and comments on the games to show the creators some love!
