@RobbyZero is right, it’s racquetball, chims makecode forums, and pixel smash.

Nope! The most clicked makecode game is [raptor run!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/raptor-run-microsoft-makecode/291) It’s also is the most viewed topic with a whopping 206k views!
I hate to say this, but tmcf isn’t that big of a game. it hasn’t even gotten 500 clicks yet. I’m not saying its bad or anything but its not very high with clicks… Sorry Prof.@ChimbroDaPro
I feel so old knowing all of this stuff. [old man voice] _I remember the good old days when ocarina of time, the raycasting extension, fnaf camera test, blocky splatoon and dungeon were new… those were the days._ 👴

This is a pretty good report. (Not on channel 0 standards but still good) But… There is no possible way the next game jam will be a thanksgiving jam this is a real game jam that needs a real theme like the “Wild Jam” which was a absolute failure of a topic by me.
Plus thanksgiving was almost a month ago for me.
