[Announcement] MakeCode Arcade bigSMALL Game Jam!

bigSMALL Game Jam

Hey folks!

You’ve been waiting, and now our theme announcement is finally here! We are super excited to announce that the theme for our next game jam is bigSMALL!

Remember, any game you submit must involve this theme in some way. Here are some examples that work well with this theme:

  1. A puzzle game where you can change the sizes of objects to progress

  2. A platformer where your character can get bigger and smaller but only for a limited amount of time

  3. An RPG where your character is small so the rest of the world looks big

  4. A shoot ‘em up where the enemies slowly get bigger as you progress

This time the jam will run from Monday, April 6th to Monday, April 27th, ending at 11:59 PM PT, so get coding!

For full rules and submission details, check out the official game jam page.

By the way, what day is it?

I almost fell for it and would have watched the rickroll if not for the weird 7 second countdown to “Never gonna give you up” on bitley. My first thought was “why is @kiwiphoenix364 posting this?”.

BUT THEN I realized it’s a real game jam! So awesome! Mega cool!

@Kiwiphoenix364? I don’t remember you working for MakeCode…

Spoilers!

IT’S AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE, I WAS FOOLED, HOW WAS I FOOLED?
