My favorite mini game jam was the Boss Rush, I love fighting bosses in video games :+1:
I also liked the idea of the Spooky mini game jam, but I didn’t really do anything for that one…

I request a do-over!

I would say Superhero (since I won that one), but I’m actually gonna say the prehistoric jam! It was the jam that really levelled up my developer skills and made me as good as I am today!

Big fan of the board game jam (that one was tough) and the proposed Pi Day / math-focused game jam. So much so that I think they should be recurring themes. :smile: OK, talk like a pirate day theme should be recurring, too!

Maybe there could be reoccurring jams while new jams go on so you have options and can come back to ones we like. We could do a poll after every jam to see if it comes back or not.
