For what it’s worth, I tested all three games and they have all tackled the jam theme in a different way. The games are fairly small because of the jam’s time frame. I reckon you could play each one in about an hour, maybe two, depending on your experience.
I believe this is the first time that any of the authors have used PunyInform, so please show your support and encouragement by playing and rating their games.
Thanks to @fredrik for organising the jam. I couldn’t participate this time because of medical issues, but look forward to the next one.
I’ve finished all games in the jam. All are good and I really recommend others to try them out and vote. None of them are especially hard and you probably finish them in about an hour each.
I also completed all three games in the jam and really enjoyed all three of them. I think some of the authors are also the first time authors in any development system. Well done to all three authors and thanks for creating these small jewels!!
It seems a total of seven people have voted on the games. It would be great for our authors, two of which have never written a text adventure before, to get some more votes and some more feedback on their games. There’s still a week left of the voting period.
Hello, again! Are we using itch.io’s internal (1-5 stars) rating system for this competition? Similarly, do we use their comment system? Or is there another place that I ought to log feedback?
One way to give feedback is to join the PunyInform Discord server and send a message to the author there (all three submission authors are active there): PunyInform
As for leaving public reviews and comments about the game, I think it would be nicer to do so after voting has ended, so all judges can make up their own minds about the games.
PunyJam #2 is over. Final standings (maximum rating if 5 points):
Morris by Dee Cooke, 4.417 points
A Once In a Lifetime Opportunity by Interpied, 3.373 points
Face Your Fears by Sijnstra, 3.300 points
Look out for post-jam releases.
Big congratulations to all entrants for learning PunyInform, for completing their games and putting them up for judging. Extra congratulations to Dee Cooke of course, for placing first.
