Winners of Kongregate Game Jam: Attraction

First of all, we would love to congratulate each and every developer who made a game for the Jam! For anyone not familiar with the concept of a game jam, game jams are events for developers to create concepts, often based on a theme or idea, in a short span of time (typically a few days to a few weeks). What they build is completely up to them; all they have to consider is the theme or constraint of the game jam.

Our first Kongregate Game Jam was a one-week game jam based around the theme Attraction. There were also optional modifiers for developers to consider to help develop their ideas. They were:

Modifier #1: No Text
Your game transcends letters and numbers. No letters, no numerals, no punctuation.

Modifier #2: Kongpanions
Your game leverages Kongpanions, the cute web-based creatures on Kongregate.com. You can use our API/JSON if you'd like.

Bonus Modifier: This Vine
This is not a real modifier. We just really like this Vine. A lot.

We had 65 entries for this jam from veteran and first-time developers alike, across a ton of different genres, competing for a handful of cool awards. You can play all of the games here for yourself.
