[Announcement] MakeCode Arcade Mini Game Jam #30 - Wizardry Jam

Hey folks!

It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time for a new mini game jam! The theme this month comes to us from @TeddyB. That’s right, it’s time for Wizardry Jam!

We’re looking for games about magic, pointy hats with stars on them, long white beards, etc. You can interpret wizardry however you want, but someone should be able to tell how your game relates to the theme without extra explanation.

Some examples of good interpretations of this theme could be:

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 and a half weeks to enter! The jam will close at 11:59 PM PDT on Thursday, August 28th 2025. As always, we will be playing all of the games on livestream on the last Friday of the month.

Submit your games by posting them in this thread!

That is so uncanny, I was literally looking at Noita a few days ago. It got suggested for me on steam based on some of the other games I have. I literally just finished writing this and it got approved :exploding_head:

For the full party that you start with yes and the wizard stays (think of ralsei from deltarune) ratio is 1:2
