Over the weekend, 144 games were submitted, more than twice as many as our previous Weekend Jam. Thousands of ratings were cast by participants across the entries, with 2,328 ratings given to 140 games.
The theme was "Start With A Starter", challenging participants to pick one of GDevelop's starter projects and turn it into a complete game in just 48 hours.
And now, it's time to announce the winners!
