The Tournament is over! 3 0
Wan • 7 years ago After a full month of competition, the 1st AKJ Tournament is finally closed. Congratulations to @CMLSC for the well-deserved win! Nice job as well to @dollarone and @toasty who managed to get in the podium, and to all of the participants.
If you liked the event, know that we intend to make it a regular thing, the next occurrence being planned for the month of September. Some questions for next time:
- What do you think of the number of games? Was 8 a good number or would you have preferred less? More?
- Should we have prizes next time? (If so, it would be probably Steam games and/or Alakajam! goodies)
- Did you mind the games being mostly for Windows only?
Any other thought or suggestion is welcome.
As for the next event… The 3rd Alakajam is finally approaching! It will be hosted in th 22-24th June week-end, which means the detailed schedule will be published next Monday. See you then :)

The 1st AKJ Tournament has begun! For the whole month of May, you will get to prove not your gamedev skills, but your gaming skills :) More rules info here
You'll find below the final selection of 8 games made by Alakajam! members. From arcade games to hardcore platformers to UFOs, you'll have plenty of material to test your skills. Have fun playing them and try your best to climb the leaderboard! A quick warning though: some games are Windows only. We'll aim for a fully cross-platform event next time, promised ;)
May the best player win!

Let's compete on jam games! 2 0

In May, Alakajam! is not hosting a gamedev event. Instead, there's something completely new in the works: we'll play and compete on game jam entries!
How it works
Throughout the month, everyone will get to play on a selection of 8 games (made in any past game jams) on which they'll try to make the highest scores/best times as possible. Using screenshots as proof, players will battle to enter (and remain in) the leaderboards.
Leaderboards points are awarded to all players that enter the top 10 of a game. At the end of the event, on May 31st, the player with the most points wins the tournament!
As usual, there's no prizes to be won other than bragging rights. We're just here to have fun!
Submit your game to the event
The list of 8 jam games to played is still in the works, and should be finalized on April 30th.
If your game supports setting a high score or a best time, please submit it below!
EDIT: List is locked down, and unveiled on Twitter
