As a solo dev, I challenged myself on to menu systems, sound FX, and scene transitions (hiding Godot's "black blink." What did you or your team challenge yourself to this go around?
This was my first jam ever. So my challenge was to just get something running and submit. I had fun with it and learned a lot.

My first solo game jam. First time trying pixel art. First time composing a NES-style music :)

This is my game, Tharsis: Martian Combat, which is a RTS that you can play on browser, good old 90s RTS vibe.
Rated and commected on your game!

I tried to challenge myself in making a very complex game for a game jam. Not sure if it totally worked out, but I tried my best :)
I've just played and rated your game!
Feel free to give Operation Knockback a try here:

This game jam I wanted to challenge myself to make something like a rhythm-based QWOP + Parappa game where you synthesize raps from phonemes... and after spending a week and a half floundering around figuring out wtf an audio scheduler was I hard pivoted to just making something simple with a good amount of polish!

I think manage to finish a game for a game jam itself is already a huge accomplishment for us. Nice game btw.

I usually make action games but I have never attempted a shooting game, I also wanted a game practiced how to tell a story and lore in a video game context. Whether or not I accomplished that in the two week game jam is debateable but it was nice to take a project and focus of developing new skills.
But the way, this is an excellent forum topic you beat me too the punch.
Either way my game was Artues Victus: Prologue X Aria

This is the first time i'm making the music myself. Although i only make like 2 original music for this (only the main menu and the intro music) and the rest of music in the game are from other sources, it's still a great challenge for me to write a music even though the music itself is kind of simple ._. Also this is the first time i actually try making a platformer games so this is also a challenge for me to what to watch for in making platformer game. I also try making bosses which something i rarely do when making games. nonetheless i'm satisfied with how the bosses turns out even if there are some bugs right there and then haha.
My game is Report From a Little Blue Planet : /jam/gamedevjs-2026/rate/4514360
Wow, knowing that this was your first platforming game ans your first time writing music I feel you did very well with your game! There is a few platform games on here and most range from great to ok player controller. I found your game had a very good character controller, i never experienced a moment where something never felt connect!
Very cool to learn the background of these games!
Thank you!! Maybe i should clarify this is the first proper platformer game i made. with enemies, collectible, and checkpoints and all. I made a mini parkour minigane section as part of among us type of game before (where your task is simply jumping and avoid falling with no enemies). But putting pieces together like where the enemies would be placed, which type of enemy work better for this specific area, etc to create a coherent game design turns out to be totally different experience!
Not only my first time in a Jam but also my first videogame ever as a solo dev. I started building the scope to make a small and fun game, but as time passed I discovered a lot of things that were not in my roadmap, in general it was an amazing experience I learn a lot of things and also I failed in other things but in general I think that maybe Game development is what I really want to focus!

I'm not usually big on roguelites, but I've played some solid ones lately and the genre really grew on me. So for the jam I set out to make an FPS roguelite with that old-school boomer shooter feel. /jam/gamedevjs-2026/rate/4487622
