๐ซง The Global Game Jam was last weekend! The theme was ๐ซงbubbles๐ซง - which was interpreted in countless ways.
And, of course, many LGIN members participated with their regular teams or other jammers. Here's a little thread of some games they made during the weekend!

๐ Some #indiegames have a very long tail (or in this case, cape), and keep getting updates for ages. Puddle Knights by Lockpickle is five years old, and recently received a graphics update.
