First PIXELFALLS Game Jam - September 2026

Thanks to everyone for taking part in the very first PIXELFALLS Game Jam—including those who didn't manage to submit a game but still offered heaps of positive encouragement!

  • Best Gameplay

    Twenty Second Shmup

    Very easy to pick up and play—you can really keep going if you string together shooting the clocks. Plus, this was the game that people, young and old, kept coming back to play at Comic Con.

  • Best Visuals

    Pixel-Pal Slots

    A wonderfully colorful game with cute sprites inspired by the well-loved Pac-Man.

  • Best Sound

    CIBR Proclamation

    Very close to winning Best Visuals, but this game had perhaps the most varied SFX, including great little music snippets and a real sense of urgency as the countdown timer ticks away.

  • Most Creative

    L.I.S.A

    Very close to winning Best Sound Design (thanks to the static and rewind/fast-forward audio). However, the CCTV camera perspective, full-screen static, and time-manipulation mechanics make it exceptionally ingenious.
