GG everyone! This was super cool lol. Like, I said it before, there were SO MANY good entries in this jam and it kinda just blew my mind. I gotta say the top 2 were just INSANE, like, to think something that detailed was built in makecode arcade is just baffling… Rhythm code, i must say, kudos to @InvalidProject, is an absolutely stunning game, one of my favourites because of my geometry dash bias! Gameplay was stellar, and art was straight up PEAK

I completely agree… The Forest Campfire was absolutely beautiful! My only objection was that the quests were slightly repetitive. But I do think that The Picnic Basket, Ripple Nursery and The Joy of Pixels are up there too!

I’m so happy to win 1st in the Cozy Game Jam! I didn’t expect my game to even win honorable mentions, but I’m so glad and happy to get top! I’m so flabbergasted by all the other games as well! The art and styles were absolutely captivating :D.

alright, i have distributed badges to all of the winners and honorees whose forum accounts i know! if i missed you, please @ me!

once again, congrats to our winners:

## First Place: Rhythm Code!

[!["Rhythm Code!" game screenshot](https://cdn.makecode.com/api/40921-79622-15624-16091/thumb)](https://arcade.makecode.com/40921-79622-15624-16091)

[Rhythm Code!](https://arcade.makecode.com/40921-79622-15624-16091) by @InvalidProject features not just one, but THREE whole rhythm games to test your timing skills! Our judges loved the artwork, music, and rating system of this submission. Plus, rumor has it that each of these games is based on a different member of the MakeCode forums… Make sure you check out [this forum post](https://forum.makecode.com/t/my-game-jam-game-rhythm-code/32951) for more detailed instructions on how to play each of the games!

## Second Place: The Forest Campfire

[!["The Forest Campfire" game screenshot](https://cdn.makecode.com/api/50763-65106-55406-25942/thumb)](https://arcade.makecode.com/50763-65106-55406-25942)

[The Forest Campfire](https://arcade.makecode.com/50763-65106-55406-25942) by @Freastt and Toast is a delightful game where you complete quests to help out a goofy cast of characters on a camping trip. Our judges were absolutely _floored_ by the character art in this game and how polished all of the dialog looked. Not only that, but the writing left us grinning like maniacs through the whole thing! If you like this game, make sure to check out another of Freast’s games: [One Night At Scary Gary’s](https://arcade.makecode.com/S07056-15018-00192-01563) (which is decidedly less cozy but _is_ mentioned in an easter egg of this game).

> **Note from Richard** : “Games that feature me as a character receive no preferential treatment in game jam judging but also it doesn’t hurt either.”

## Third Place: The Joy of Pixels

[!["The Joy of Pixels" game screenshot](https://cdn.makecode.com/api/08245-57951-20701-25721/thumb)](https://arcade.makecode.com/08245-57951-20701-25721)

[The Joy of Pixels](https://arcade.makecode.com/08245-57951-20701-25721) by @Jedi is a painting sandbox game where you can create and save artworks made out of pixels! The attention to detail in this game is what impressed our judges the most; you can press the menu button to cycle through multiple modes where you can control things like your brush size, speed, and color as well as how zoomed in the canvas is. Plus, the setting is the very definition of coziness!

Finally after a year of being on Makecode I’ve gotten at least an honorable mention in a game jam.
