I managed to play every single game submitted to the jam and left feedback for nearly every developer.

First of all, huge thanks to everyone who participated! It was really fun seeing so many different interpretations of the Hide & Seek theme. Even the unfinished projects had interesting ideas worth exploring.

My personal Top 4:

🥇 Operation Cover-Up

A brilliant twist on the theme: instead of solving crimes, you're hiding the evidence. Fantastic music, and the whole game feels surprisingly polished.

🥈 Seek the Thief

Clever use of surveillance cameras, crowds with unique NPC behaviors, and a really smart take on the theme.

🥉 Blindsight

One of the most original ideas in the jam. Using a camera flash to reveal the world around you made for a fresh and memorable experience.

⭐ Robbers and Cops!

Way more fun than I expected. I even kept driving around after collecting every coin just because the soundtrack was so good.

These are just my personal favorites—there were plenty of other games with awesome ideas and memorable moments.

What were your favorites?

That is some incredible dedication! Thanks for sharing your favourites after playing through every entry andriyz!

Thank you for spending so much time on all of our entries! I only did around 30, but it was great to see all the different versions of hide and seek that we came up with. My favorites in no particular order

Blindsight - as you said its game design wow'd me the most

Dog Sniffer: Airport - chill and fun, spending time with the good boy

Donut Chaser - an interesting way to use the assets with nice puzzle gameplay
