GMTK 2026 Game Jam submissions go live

gamingJul 26, 2026501,460

The GMTK 2026 "Count Down" game jam submissions are now live on itch.io, with dozens of short indie entries available to play. rawktron released Bit Rot, a puzzle game in which you repair a failing drive while your salvage code corrupts itself every eighth instruction and deletes itself as it runs. rawktron says the project grew from a desire to make a "zach-like" game and to use an ANSI rendering engine the developer had been experimenting with. Perfect Pixel published Countdown by Francis Bean, a short entry that frames the choice as whether you will save the world or save yourself. munji, Luisjakg, and deRedBlob uploaded Click Clock, billed as the ultimate Clock Tower Defense. Multiple solo and small-team developers posted four-day and last-minute entries across genres, and the submissions are available now on itch.io for players to try.

Hoagie Harmony! The game I made in 4 days for #GMTKJam You have a job making sandwiches, when you want to be making music!! So, why not do your job while practicing the piano at the same time? Rent is due in three days! Good luck!!! Ironically, the game does not involve chords. Link below!! 🥪🎹

Been working on a game for the #gmtkjam recently! Heres some footage of the current state of one of the boss fights. Should likely be releasing in around 12 hours when the jam ends. If anyone wants to help playtest for balancing purposes let me know #gamedev #godot

I wanted to make a game about a little wizard skater who struck stylish poses and earned multipliers to attack enemies, but due to exhaustion and a lack of time, I only managed to make a game about a little wizard who pogo-jumps on enemies for this year's #GMTKJam lol #gmtk
