THANK YOU to everyone who played and rated Two-Timin' Towers! We're honoured to be in the top 20 with so many other great games
It was a great idea for two timin tower
By far my favorite game of the top 20! I was laughing out loud at the concept! Super fun
Love the concept my dude! Was eager to tell a friend who loves TD games!
Yours was my favorite from the Top 10. The concept is hilariously great
Such a great idea to combine the genres. Wouldn’t look out of place on the e-shop! Congratulations
It's an absolute honor te be among the 20 winners! After Losing CTRL I didn't have much faith that our game would be mentioned, and it popping up right in the next spot was stunning to say the least. Thank you so much to everyone who played and enjoyed our game, Emergency Protocol, and a big thank you to Mark for hosting this amazing Jam!
Tbh if it were the other way round I would've felt the same. Your game has such a unique mechanic and absolutely deserves a spot in the top 20 imho. I'm glad we both made it :D
I think you really hit the mark with the title! I could immediately remember the game just from the name (which wasn't true for many other games), and that theming provides meaning to a "weird" mechanic really well.
@@littlebughunter I’m assuming you’re part of the team for Losing CTRL - congratulations to you too! I haven’t had the chance to play your game yet but it looked very interesting and well polished when mark showcased it
@Milan Pupavac You're right, winner is a bit too competitive of a word. I'll call them Top Marks from now on, since that's a much better name anyways ^^
Oh my god the little smile the robot has when he makes it across is so cute
"The Robot You Control is a Tsundere"
Of course someone would make that
I spotted that too ;-)
What time stamp?
@@actrouse 22:53 one of the videos
Lol, mine team game xd
@@ilushkins3763 Well - a title is catchy ;-)
It's honestly a dream come true to be part of the top 20 this year, being surrounded by so many innovative and creative ideas. Thank you so much to everyone who played and rated Restless Wing Syndrome, and to Mark for hosting this awesome event. Already looking forward to next year!
Congratulations! The game looks awesome!
As someone who's just making his first game since high school (a 13 year gap), seeing the quality of your entry (and all the others!) is both amazing and daunting. It seems I've spent about 2 months doing less than what yourselves and others are able to do in 2 days!
May I ask a few questions about the game development? how many people did you have develop Restless Wing Syndrome in the jam? What sort of prep do you do pre-jam? Do you have any assets ready beforehand that you take from other games? or do you truly come up with the idea, visuals, audio, code etc. all in 48 hours?
Thanks in advance if you answer any of those! Congratulations again on your great work!
@@moocowp4970 Thank you so much! So I worked alone for this jam, and created pretty much all assets during the 48 hours. I've made a lot of platformers in the last 6 years (started with scratch, moved to game maker in 2016). Therefore, being able to pull little pieces of code from my other small projects, along with just overall experience in the genre, made the design and coding process of the game go very smoothly. This gave me more time to work on the art, music, and polish. In terms of pre-jam prep I just made sure that my schedule was completely free for the duration, and planned out how I would structure my time on certain tasks. Hope this helps, and thanks again!
Well done, i'm on the third re-play and i can't help playing it
The controls are spot on and the level design perfectly highlights and serves the gameplay.
Also, i've found myself spending more time that i expected in the credit screen, when you are free to jump.
I think this is indicative of how smooth the controls are, and also it made me think about the theme "Out of Control"
When, in these games, you gain the "control" back, either one of the two following things is going to happen (maybe more than 2, but i'm going full Mark Brown so...) :
1) The game suddendly becomes empty, as you take out of the equation the mechanic which you used to build your game
2) You feel a sense of relief, of power, you feel "unchained" and you just want to play with that mechanic , until the game take it away from you again.
Your game falls under the second scenario. And I think this can be a significant factor in a good "Out of Control" game.
If you are going to implement it in the full game, i'm sure you will use it wisely.
I will 100% play the full game.
very well done
@@leko8873 Thanks! Very inspiring! I'm still in awe at how good your game is for being made in such a short time!
Is there somewhere we can see the other games you've made previously?
Yours was my favourite 😊
So many silly games this year. Love this theme.
more like *genius*
are they? i'm now regretting being too busy to play them ;(
I played about 70 games during the voting period, this is the small collection of games that I was going to show my team, if anyone is interested in playing a handful of games: itch.io/c/1053347/gmtk-top
I really want to do this jam theme again. Even while working on my game the first time around I was constantly thinking of new ideas and possibilities for the theme. There’s just so much potential!
This is why game jams are awesome. Even though you are restricted to a theme, you can make very cool games out of this limitation.
Had a lot of fun participating this year! Now to mentally prepare for GMTK Game Jam 2021.
Just make Hollow Knight Silksong for the next game jam
Starving knight: a game by mossbag
@Arnav Kumar a bind of a titan
holy shit it's god himself
Oh hey it's the guy who talks about bugs for a living
So many amazing games this year, HUGE congrats to the winners!!! (and great theme btw)
your game didn't go top 20
Glad you got into the video. Found out about this from your channel
Haziq Amry Adventure same
Hello!
Hogang
Still can't quite believe I made it into the top 20 with Genre Hopper! I'm beyond thrilled! I love Restless Wing Syndrome and Laser Guy - honestly all of these games are brilliant! Thank you so much to Mark and everyone who played, rated or took part this year.
hi?
What where the prizes?
Mate, take the idea and run with it. Flesh it out and make a full fledged game. The idea's so good. If you did I'd buy it on steam! (Or Nintendo switch - the only game platforms I own)
Oh wow, more than half of these you showed I could easily imagine being full fledged games with a bit more pollish. Fantastic year! Thanks for bringing the community together and making this possible!
Even then, with a few more levels, for 1 or 2 bucks this is an easy purchase for me
@AD The Millenium Kid The jump doesn't have a timer though, you have full control over when you jump.
But it is a cute platformer, one of the best I've played on mobile.
Or early 2000 Newgrounds and Miniclip games.
Back when the pros and insanely dedicated teens and nerds really put their all out for nothing just for the joy of it.
Didn't get paid, there wasn't even advertisement for them back then yet we got so much and even some franchises not to mention the animations.
i agree
CONGRATS to all the submitters for completing a game and getting your ideas out there!
And, just as importantly, CONGRATS to everyone who gave it a shot but *didn't* submit anything! You have gained more experience than any amount of "if only I could" can ever provide.
This is the best comment
Valve during their wilderness period ^^^

I think a few of the participants worked as teams, but I’m not sure.

"This just needs some polish and further development and it'll be a seriously good and fun game that I and many others will want to play!" I swear I thought that like 21 times while watching this video. There are so many genuinely incredible ideas here that are just begging to be made. That last one in particular looked like a game that could be a speedrunners dream to master as well as have the mass appeal of a simple but addictive mobile game. I look forward to seeing some of these get explored in more depth.
I don’t think addictive is a compliment..
@@jacobwingers5206 that's because you're a square, jimbo
14:32 mind was kind of blown with that one, that guy should work on that a little bit and release it
As a free 2 play on mobiles (I know, I know but hey, everyone needs money) it would be a hit.

cleaning the system put a huge smile on my face from just how silly but great the idea is. major "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy" vibes, but with a unique spin.
Hey, yeah it is similar, but it's even more similar to "pogostuck - rage with your friends" ... look it up on youtube. but do yourself a favor and never get it... its too frustrating xD
That’s just what I thought
"with a unique *spin* "
I see what you did there
Go give Q.W.O.P. a try :)
@@zeikjt fun fact for anyone unaware: Q.W.O.P. was also by Bennett Foddy :)
00:49 Hey that's our game! My name is "Crowno" not "Rowno" though! haha
But seriously it was great to finally be able to submit a game to this jam and this theme was very fun to work with. It's incredible to see how many cool ideas people managed to come up with the same theme. Congrats everyone, and thanks Mark for hosting another successful jam!
Great job
Oops, sorry for the tag mess up!
This game has superb pixel art and the idea of looking at a retro console while playing it is also really amazing. Congrats. :)
Game Maker's Toolkit it’s ok, you were Out Of Control xd
O
Anyone else laughing their ass off at the bouncy stick game at the end? Something about the concept and the way it moves is so... pathetic, yet extremely endearing. Poor stick.
Gameplay before graphics. Clean up the physics, make some more visually interesting levels and you’ve got a solid title

right when you mentioned it i saw it and i was in hysterics
"Bob no.. Bob Bob NO.. Bob.. you stupid bob" had me dead lmao
Wait, when was that? I missed it. :O

Such inspiring creations! Thanks for hosting this cool event Mark and will be back next year for sure :)
YOOO NOA
I created my first game (in this jam) with your tutorials. Thanks!
People can get so creative, i love things like this!

I still have no idea if this is a joke about the theme or everybody giving super chats so that Mark can buy a quieter keyboard
Who?
@@sinnombre3594 Mr Brown himself. The chat was A N G E R Y because of "clak-a-clak-a"
16:07 Make the Way is just like Lego Junkbot! It was an old flash game on the lego website where you had to build lego terrain around Junkbot, who was constantly moving, so he could reach the goal. Brings back memories
It was very fun being part of the jam! Thank you to everyone who played my game "Suspicious Sheep" and watched the DevLog! :)
The presentation video cracked me up XD
So proud of our game (Laser guy) being spotlighted
I found this video after stumbling upon Sam Hogan's channel and I gotta say: This is so amazing! Not only is this such an awesome, creativity-fueling challenge but the concepts people then came up with in such a short amount of time are actually incredible! Most of them even managed to add incredibly polished and unique game design and made their creations seemingly very fun to play. For someone with no game development or even coding experience this is really astounding to watch and I'm very excited for more of these challenges in the future!
There are a lot of game jams throughout the year if you're curious. Too many to count now (www.indiegamejams.com/) but some of the bigger ones I know about are Ludum Dare, Global Game Jam, 7 Day First Person Shooter, and Train Jam (which didn't happen this year because of COVID-19).
LoL. I was ranked at #190 overall. Missed the top 100 by 90 games. Oh well, not bad none the less. Congrats to the winners and the ones selected by Mark :)
This was really fun to participate in, thanks Mark :)
I shouldn’t be surprised at all to see you here given your altergame levels and mastergame, but for some reason I was surprised anyway.
Does anyone have a link to Serponge's game?
I've already seen so many amazing games from this jam I can't imagine what will be in the top 20

I thought there were not that many good game designers in the world.
Now I know they are just not recognized. These are genius!
That's... Such a backhanded compliment. We're here. We just don't get recognised for our work and we often have to compromise our values and designs to satiate superiors :/ there are a lot of indie and AAA Devs that are doing great work out there. Just gotta know where to look
@@cookiemonster59263 Yes, thats what I'm saying, but I need to see devs like these create big budget titles since they have the design and principles down so good that experimentation often goes great.
Most AAA titles are very uninspired in my opinion, its very rehashed and a chore to play.
These devs show that great questions are still left behind and need exploration. That is what my comment was referring to, I hate that they have such a small light when they have the biggest creative power.
Like the new Halo, "what if it was Halo 1... But with grappling hook?!?!". That is boring.
@@El_Andru You're putting that on developers and not publishers/publishing companies, though. AAA devs don't get that kind of input because we have to listen to what our bosses are saying we should do. The only exception are game directors who get to pitch the actual game ideas. Furthermore, most of the time, we're not really allowed to take too many risks because it's seen as financially risky / goes against previously established game design rules, like long grass is something you can always hide in, etc. The issue here isn't the devs :/ it's the fucking system. Trust me, we want to make AAA games that are more risky but it's borderline impossible to get the money. An AAA mobile game can cost about $1M to make with a full team of 20. Console games are closer to about 30-40M, and trust me, it fucking sucks to be told that your idea is good but that it's not something the studio is willing to risk the money on :(
@@cookiemonster59263 Yeah, chill out, I never mentioned publishers but that is what I was referring to.
I told you I'm on the side of the devs, its the people that hide creative potential who I'm disappointed in.
I of course know about financially risky things, but I believe that good game design can stretch the core of a franchise and make the next iteration of it. I think getting too stale will eventually hurt the franchise so experimentation needs to keep happening in order for the franchise to keep itself alive and strong.
I don't know if you are getting heated over this which it's not my intention, because we are basically agreeing on everything.
@@El_Andru Nah I'm not getting heated, don't worry. Just know that it's hard to know game design politics if you're not in game design 😊
Laserwave looks like a game I would love to get into, especially if they could get a whole bunch of good music involved.
Regardless of who got to the top 100 list, I think the jam proves how creative and original we all can be, and what we can achieve with our imagination. The great video, jam, and community!
Participating in this jam was such a great experience, glad that my first game jam was the biggest online jam ever 😁
This was my first jam but wow was it fun! I'm proud to say I reached my goal of rating 100+ games. It was cool to talk with the different devs and see all the takes on the theme.
Big thanks to everyone who played and/or commented on my team's game, Bloodlust
"The Robot you control is a Tsundere"
You've had my interest but now you have my attention
I love how much variety is here. Kudos to everyone who took part, either making or playing. That’s a staggering amount of games.
Why do I feel so anxious despite knowing that I won't get picked?
lol same
im not even submitting but got anxious
Who knows if maybe they put you in by mistake! xp
Same. Better luck for us in the Brackeys game jam
@Arnav Kumar Didn't make the rankings: itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/695735
#239 overall.
Tbh I pretty much knew I wasn't going to get picked when a key's path was showed without my game getting a mention. It's pretty much the same genre if one such exists.
I want to know more about "The Robot you control is a Tsundere"
Once again I am just absolutely amazed at the amount of talent some of you people put into this. How you manage to squize something that is both creative, gorgeous and so much polish out in 48 hours boggles my mind. Absolutely amazing work each and everyone!
Deepnight is a game jam genius, been doing this for decades and he's still got it!
It is amazing to see, what cool ideas the fellow jammers had. Participating in the jam was a blast, thank you so much!
21:03 happy to see that this game made it in the top 20
edit: great background music choice btw^^
This jam has been so much fun, and I've been so impressed by how friendly, hardworking, and creative the whole community has been. Congrats all, and can't wait for next year!
July 2020 I had no knowledge of coding or game development and it never occurred to me that it was something I could do. Now I am learning, and by July 2021 I will hopefully be participating in my first game jam!! Looking forward to signing up.
I know this is really for game devs, but, as a lowly back-end engineer, i really enjoyed the whole thing. I don't want to sound naive but its a really nice online experience and those don't really exist anymore. Nice to see.
I don't really think this is for game devs only. Anyone who can make something playable can submit a piece of software.
@@1996Pinocchio Sure, i mean (to my mind) if you can develop a game thats playable: you are a game developer. I meant its enjoyable to observe regardless of being able to contribute.
@@tobyclements4812 Oh sure, I agree on that second part. :)
That tower defense bullet hell mashup should be fleshed out to a full game. Easily my favorite of the ones showcased, would buy in a heartbeat.
The game where you can use the keys as platforms at the expense of that button is so clever! Great job everyone, so many unique ideas!
Holy crap, I'm so impressed. This is one of the few times where lots and lots of creators can get together and do something amazing.
3:26 this looks so cool
Really enjoyed your long streams and was happy to see some of the winners were in those streams.
So many cool concepts this year! Thanks to everyone who submitted games and congrats to the Top 100 and Top 20!
these were wonderful!
congrats to all the participants for making this happen, seeing all these games and ideas are a treat
Even though for being my fourth gamejam to do. I can call this year a success on my standpoint on making it furthur than i ever did. Plus it got my the courage to actually practice coding for a change which I felt proud of and going to continue throughout rest of the year to be prepeared for next years. :)
Congrats! Keep going :)
@@jpope125 thanks for the support. I defently am gonna keep going. :)
@@CreativeSteve69 Nice! Programming is like most other skills and the more you practice the better you get, good luck :)
@@zeikjt thanks for the confident boos as well @ZeikJT i appreciate that. :)
This was my first jam. I had a great time!
I was really curious to see how much the jam would grow this year over last; definitely wasn't expecting another doubling over last year! Too many awesome games. This year's top 20 had a lot of games I'd be willing to purchase right now, too. Hats off to everyone who contributed!
Brilliant! Honestly, I could see plenty of those as full games. Don't stop, y'all are amazing.
"the jam will be back in 2021"
will there be a 2021?
noone knows
2020, part 2
There will be a 2021. The question is, will we be there?
oh wow a toki pona speaker
2021: Soon 😨😂
Mark: I can’t play every game I don’t have the time
Also mark: I beat this game 4 times
The amount of creativity and talent on display here is just amazing. So much wonderful and unique games. Thank you for this, easily one of the best game marathons this year. Congrats to all participants & GMTK for this 😊
Thanks for creating this opportunity for everyone who took part! This was a great event and my first game jam, loved it!

Welcome to the game dev community.

I'd say that it´s trust
It was a great experience to participate in this jam! Now time to play this awesome games.
As someone who just started (trying) to learn programming, I am in awe that people made THESE in just 48 hours!! From design to code to playtesting, I can barely wrap my head around it! Many kudos to ALL participants, your creativity and thrive are truly an inspiration.
I also want to emphazise this fact: There are now 5477 new pieces of interactive media that didn't exist last month. That is both a fascinating and heartbreaking prospect, since most of us will never get to play a fraction of these in our lifetime.
These are all pretty cool, but I wanna see the masterpiece "The Robot You Control is a Tsundere!?".
It was a great jam! These top 20 are so awesome! I need to study coding more XD Glad I tried something new, mixed with something I've done before. (only half stress haha) I got to play 215 games and 177 played my game. Thanks for all the awesome feedback! I made a devlog for my game :D
The overwhelming creativity of these games brings me so much joy.
These games are amazing. Props to all the fantastic creatives and MGTK for setting this up!
8:15 “he got lasers again” absolutely ended me
Watching this just makes me sad and nostalgic for the heyday of Flash games when most of these would be free to play in browser and the only restriction to access was trying to dodge my school's site blocker.
Seeing all of this talent and creativity on display is a joy to watch
Amazing every time. I can't believe I've been watching GMTK for 3 years.
I'm shocked that out of the twenty highlighted games only one went the pun route of interpreting "control" as the ctrl key.
Imagine that last pogo game with sound effects and music.Hilarious!
What a great game analysis! And that pogo stick has so much gameplay in so little game.
Its amazing.
I honestly think this was the best Game Jam so far!
This concept pushed many developers to make the most fun, bizarre yet simple games to ever be imagined
Best of wishes to you all!
Mark: YOU STUPID BOB
all the bobs out there: "crying"
Don't think I didn't see "The robot you control is a tsundere"
This was my first jam, I had a blast and it was so cool to see so many amazing games. Thanks for organizing it Mark!
I always love this over and over again. I use this for writing stories in school. Amazing!
Suggestion: for couple of games you commented that they could just add few more levels and release it on steam right away. Did they release it? I dunno, I never heard of them again. Did any of those top 20 games from last year jam released? Never heard of them. But maybe they did, so how about actually highlighting that fact over your next videos, to inform us all and provide a lot of PR for said games, I'd say it's a win-win situation - we could play "full" versions and the creators will get more moneyz for their work :P
Sure, the creators have to keep you informed if they released and if they changed the name.
I saw the match the face and shoot it game on switch. I think that was from last year
The jam was only a couple weeks ago, despite the accelerated schedule of the jam itself I'd think most devs would want a bit more time to polish before releasing on steam. I know I would (although I wasn't in the top 20 for a reason)
@@TheOobo I mainly meant previous jams, of course, but my point is some devs will polish their games and release it - most of us will probably never know
@@lukehaworth5144 fair point, I'm not following any switch releases...
@@LeonserGT They are definitely not easy to find but here are two (one is the game mentioned above):
store.steampowered.com/app/1219530/Kickochet/
store.steampowered.com/app/1144150/Singled_Out/
Would be cool if Mark could do a big request for games that got released / are being worked on for full release but that is a big ask :)
number 20 is just like the game "Ribbit" from Nitrome and i loved that game
so i will also try this other thing
This is such a good community of creative people and deeply devoted fans. I love being a fan of GMTK.
Congratulations to all the +5000 games. There's some really great ideas and definetely lots of potential in there. Mad respects for all the participants!

Wow some absolute gems in here, thank you so much for running the Jam, it got me back into Unity and making games - also my first game jam and have only good things to say about the itch io community...until next time.
I'm so proud of you!!!
I'm so proud of every game dev that spitted out these ideas.
Not even sure why, but I'm so so proud of every of you who participated to the jam.
I didn't, couse I'm not a game dev. Yet!

Somehow I'm getting PTSD from Getting Over It watching this...😅
Why is everyone over-hyper about "Pink River" here and on twitter? he surely made a beautiful well-polished game, but his take on the theme wasn't that special or amazing, and that's what the jam is about: finding clever ways to interpret the theme. Game design and mechanic wise, I didn't feel that game had too much to offer. No hate tho, just stating my point of view, it's still an awesome game and thinking they made it on 48h is outstanding
I only liked this comment because of the honesty for opinion
understandable have a nice day. Yeah I can agree with that, but there was no other game that took that sort of idea, and everything was, in fact, beautifully made, beyond what many teams could have ever done in a matter of 2 days
@@ron0studios thats true
Yeah It was 10/10 on presentation, art and visual creativity. However gameplay wise I didn't really find it that intriguing. I mean it wasnt that bad, but maybe like 4/10 on the gameplay itself.
To answer your "why": hype is popularity-driven, and Pink River has excellent broad appeal. Lots of people appreciate a 'good game': one that looks nice and plays well and feels solid. The jam might be about finding clever ways to interpret the theme, but hype doesn't adhere to the shape of its container.
What amazes me most about these gamejams is that within 48 hours so much quality stuff was created, and all of it can immediately be expanded upon after the gamejam ends. I would love to see more of Timelock, emergency protocol and Losing CTRL for example
This was my first game jam in a long time and I really enjoyed it.
