Most recent jam

The most recent game jam was The Eggplant 50 🍆 🛸 Ⅼ and we tried doing something a little different—a fan tribute to the upcoming UFO50. In that vein we attempted to create 50 jam games and managed a respectable 19 in the end. The jam will ran from January 20th 2024 to March 10th 2024 and the theme was Finding Poetry in Geometry based on the Eggplant episode 91: Finding Poetry in Geometry with Mahdi Bahrami (Tandis).

You can see and play the whole collection at The Eggplant 19 🍆 🛸 ⅩⅠⅩ.
