[Announcement] MakeCode Arcade Mini Game Jam #22 - Olympics Jam!

Hey folks!

It’s the first Monday of the month, so it’s time for a new mini game jam! The theme this month comes to us courtesy of @AlexK. That’s right! It’s time for an Olympics Jam!

For this jam, we want to see games that are inspired by the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic games. That could be a game about the games themselves, one of the events represented in the games, or even based on one of the many tiktok memes that the athletes have spawned so far. It’s up to you!

Some examples of good interpretations of this theme:

You can interpret it however you like as long as it’s obvious how your game relates to the theme. Also, no winter sports obviously

Rules

  1. Games should be built in MakeCode Arcade
  2. Games should clearly adhere to the theme without the need for any extra explanation
  3. Keep the games PG: no NSFW, offensive, or excessively violent content.
  4. You must be at least 9 years old to participate.
  5. All games must be submitted by someone who is at least 13 years old. Younger students are welcome to participate, but it must be in partnership with an adult and with parent permission.

You have three weeks to enter! The jam will close at 11:59 PM PDT on Monday, August 26th 2024. We will be playing all the submissions on our livestream on the Friday after the jam closes, so look forward to that!

Submit your games by posting them in this thread!

Speed fishing!(A sport I wish existed)
fishing is a sport, but in this game you try to catch the best and fastest fish to get a medal!(these would be fake fish but still)

Oh no, not sports! I’m allergic to sports (joke) so I might sit this one out.

Mario must race his brother Luigi in the Olympic games! Mash the A button to run faster, and that’s all! Ya it would’ve been longer if summer wasn’t ending tomorrow… :confused:

but… there is a temporary bug in the game…
so before you play the game, do this:
Go to the code and put the code in the “on a button pressed”
Then after that, play!

(also, there are a couple secret ways to fail! can you find them?)
