Hey everyone! While playing and giving feedback to some of the jam entries, I came across some really creative and well-made games that sadly didn’t get many ratings or much attention. I thought it would be great to make a spotlight to those hidden gems :) So here’s a few of them I found interesting so far…

1.Gream Reaper Trial /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3737853

2.The Allocator /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3738984

3.Monday anxiety /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3737576

4.GameDev KickOff /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3740188

5.Mini-disc /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3737028

Hope you love them as much as I did, and feel free to drop some more if you find them :D

Please try  our game and let us know what you think!

Welcome to Duckbound, a light-hearted turn-based RPG that can best be described as if Pokemon and Osu! were combined into one! 
Although originally a downloadable, we've just created an in-browser version!

Oh  nice, I'll give them a try. There's so many it's easy to overlook real good ones, good thinking.
