The Alakajam tournament is a chance to play games you may have missed when the jams occur! Each time we showcase a few games and compete for high score! Go get those high scores!

This time we have chosen two from our last AKJ as well as one from the AKJ 404 Kajam. Try them out! You'll have fun!

After several setbacks, the show will go on! The AKJ tournament will start on 8 August 2025!

If there are any games that you think we should showcase in this tournament, please let us know in the comments!

Congratulations to all those who entered! The jam entries all look fantastic - why not have a play and give the creators some delicious feedback?

As you'd expect, we're casting 404 special spells to create the new webpage. These are tricky spells, with lots of exotic ingredients, so please bear with us!

What's next?

The next planned event is the 22nd Alakajam, in September. Keep an eye out for announcements!

umm hi I am new and looking forward to the alakajam!

Let's make a playable 404 page for Alakajam!

When someone visits the Alakajam site with an invalid URL, they see text explaining that the page doesn't exist. Let's make that experience a bit more fun - by adding a game!

At the end of the month, we'll set up the 404 page and some or all of the games will get to live there for a Long Time™*.

Jam schedule

The 22nd edition of our 48 hour game jam starts on Friday, September 19th, book the date!

The full details will be updated here in the weeks prior to the event.

Thank you so much for playing my game. It means a great deal.

I chose the upside down approach because I wanted to have the cannon change positions on the screen, left, right, top, bottom but there just wasn't enough time.

You are right, it is time to add some music and particle affects.

I am going to add some bonus ups too:

1. 10 balls will enter the play area and fall up into the platforms
2. 15 seconds to allow any hit to score points top and under
3. 15 seconds where the platforms score doubles
4. Extra Ball
5. Add 2 1000 point platforms

If anyone in the community can think of anything else that might be cool to add to the game I would love to hear it.

Thanks to all who have played the game, it is greatly appreciated.

My game is a downloadable executable for Windows.I imagine you get the message where Windows does not want you to execute the program.

I am curious as to how many here do not download a game and play it, but will more likely play a web based game.

The reason I ask is that I am thinking about learning how to use emscripten and if it is worth the trouble.

Thanks ahead of time for any input.
