Hi,

Just newly introduced to makecode due to Xtron Pro hardware.  
([https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xtron-pro/xtron-pro-creating-games-learning-programming-and-more](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xtron-pro/xtron-pro-creating-games-learning-programming-and-more))

I would like to ask the community what are their favorite makecode games.  
Also, I tried downloading the compilation games from the previous game jams, but wasn’t able to.  
[https://itch.io/jam/makecode-game-jam](https://itch.io/jam/makecode-game-jam) and the makecode url is [https://arcade.makecode.com/57567-92257-88339-49367](https://arcade.makecode.com/57567-92257-88339-49367) but it doesn’t load.

Appreciate any help.

Racquetball, North Winter Shore Adventure, Dungeon, and Space Rock Shooter 3D. Self promotion, I think I also did pretty good on Replayability.

No, not really. You might be able to ask the creators to send you the links, but that might take a minute.

You can find the games from the last game jam, Ocean Jam, in the `Game Jam` carrousel on MakeCode Arcade’s Home page: [https://arcade.makecode.com/](https://arcade.makecode.com/).

@7thking, I built a site that display games posted the forum in a gallery view. It has an all-time view (based on forum like counts): [https://games-gallery.jacobcarpenter.com/all-time](https://games-gallery.jacobcarpenter.com/all-time). Definitely some gems in there, but not a definitive list of the actual best games.

For the game jams, @hassan’s link is a good start. Each Jam also has their own page with some write-ups for the winners:

Ocean Jam: [https://arcade.makecode.com/gamejam/ocean](https://arcade.makecode.com/gamejam/ocean)  
Traffic Jam: [https://arcade.makecode.com/gamejam/traffic](https://arcade.makecode.com/gamejam/traffic)  
Garden Jam: [https://arcade.makecode.com/gamejam/garden](https://arcade.makecode.com/gamejam/garden)

Check out @jacob_c 's list at [https://games-gallery.jacobcarpenter.com/all-time](https://games-gallery.jacobcarpenter.com/all-time) for a gallery, it shows the threads tagged “game” ranked by the likes count of the first post.

Note that the gallery only shows the first-posted versions of games, so it may be worth checking the forum links for newer updates. For example (shameless self promotion), the latest versions of [Space Rocks 3D](https://forum.makecode.com/t/space-rocks-3d/6334/54) and [Boulders and Gems](https://forum.makecode.com/t/boulders-and-gems-work-in-progress/3365/21) have a lot more features and bugfixes compared to the initial ones.
