With 504 submissions and over 3,000 participants, the 2021 Epic MegaJam was nothing if not jam-packed with talent.
So what happened during our largest jam to date?
Developers brought their A-game, turning an ambiguous theme—Running Out of Space—into a collection of games that all had a different take on what “space” actually means. Is it about land management (Kramped Kingdoms), shrinking rooms (Claustrophobia), or the preferences of cats (IF I FITS I SITS)? Just seeing what people did with it was half the fun. And we had the best time!

Thank you to everyone that participated. It’s not easy to create a game in seven days. That’ll put anyone’s endurance to the test, but you all succeeded, and showed how tight this community can be!
