Welcome everyone to the second official Brackeys Game Jam!

It was a lot of fun last time so we're definitely doing another one! (and definitely more in the future) I hope we see lots of amazing games like last time, and more importantly, that you all have fun, get creative and make some games!

This jam is going to be really similar to the last one (but this time better organised). It's a week long jam where participants make games around a specific theme (announced on the start of the jam on this page and on our Discord server). The games are rated by other participants in specific categories (more on that in a bit).

Brackeys recently released a line of clothing, they have a game jam shirt which you can find here: Line of Code Game Jam Shirt

Huge thanks to Lizzardman for making the art for this game jam, making it at least 100% better!

Join our Discord server where you will be able to share your progress on the jam in the #gamejam channel, and just chat with the community. You can also get the game jam role to show that you are participating by running the !gamejam command in the #bot channel.


Anyone is allowed to participate as long as you're allowed to have an itch.io account.

Teams are allowed (and encouraged, it offers great experience!) We don't have a team limit, but we recommend teams from 2 to 4 members as it's easier to manage, bigger teams can get hectic very fast. You can find a team here: https://crowdforge.io/jams/brackeys-2

If you are in a team you should add your team members as contributors to your game so that they can also rate other games.

The games are rated by participants in 6 categories:

  • Game Design
  • Fun
  • Innovation
  • Theme
  • Graphics
  • Audio


The top overall game and the top game in each of the categories will get a special role on our Discord server.

Brackeys will also showcase and give feedback to their favourite games in a video, so look out for that!

And most importantly, you will hopefully have a working game and have fun making it! Game jams are a great time to experiment with ideas and in the end have something playable, sometimes people continue working on their jam games after it's over because they came up with a good idea and the jam game is very fun and interesting to play.


  • No NSFW games.
  • Everything has to be made during the jam. You can't use code or assets you made before the jam or from other sources.
  • Assets from the asset store aren't allowed either, except assets that don't contribute to the game and are used to make the work easier and improve your workflow. Example of allowed assets: TextMesh Pro, ProBuilder, Post Processing Stack, ShaderGraph, A.K.A. Package Manager assets. Standard assets aren't allowed. Another exception to this rule are fonts, you can use them as long as they're free and you follow their license.
  • All game engines and frameworks are allowed.
  • Generators where you have some sort of control over the output are allowed (like sfxr). Completely automatic generators are not.
  • After the jam is over (when submission time closes) you are allowed to fix game breaking bugs as long as you provide a changelog. After the jam is completely over (after the winners are announced and the rating period ends) you can do whatever you want, but it would be nice to leave the jam entry page unchanged so people can play the original game in the future.
