The New Year, New Jam has come to an end. Our judges had an incredibly relaxing time at first, before they realised they faced the difficult job of picking just 10 games to award prize money.

Some creators took the ‘Relax’ theme literally, creating some amazing zen experiences we’ve ever seen in a game jam. Others decided that ‘Relax’ was a goal, not a prerequisite, and they had us sweating!

It was a great turnout overall and we hope you enjoyed creating and playing.

Before we get to the top 10, our team wanted to highlight some of the awesome games that just missed out on a prize:

• AutoCruise Co
• Bonfire Keeper
• Cooking Craze
• Courier 66
• Cozy Pizza - Pizzeria Builder
• Home Sweet Home
• LUMBER
• Relaxing Dreamscapes
• RX Lax
• Soul Sipper
• Spooky Ghosts
• Stressed Balls

Now let’s reveal our ten winners!
 

Reminder: You can check out all 100+ entries on gx.games.
