Another game jam finished! Thank you for your patience as our judges played through 25 entries!! I'm glad to see that our addition of a Winter Game Jam has proved to be popular as well. Great to see so many return this year, as well as new competitors! I want to give a round of applause to the three judges you helped me this year: @ENLS, @PurpleZaffre and @Voltseon!

While you could guess who won through process of elimination by looking at the poll, let me announce the winners proper! We narrowed down the list from twenty-five to five. Here we go, in order of release:

Super Scientist Mountain by @👵👵👵

---

A single star fragment has fallen from the sky before the Sludgemon and other star fragments arrive! Then YOU choose which character finds the fragment. The ones that don't get the fragment then start to plot to take it for themselves... Super Scientist Mountain was inspired by games like Dark Souls and Super Smash Bros. Make use of Light Attacks, Special Attacks, and Doges to drain your opponents HP bar before you they do that to you!
