N64brew Game Jam 2022
The third installment of the 64brew game jam is now complete! We had one in 2020 and another last year so it’s safe to say that it’s becoming a yearly tradition. The theme was announced on 27 Aug and the N64brew Game Jam 2022 competition ran from the 30th of August through to the deadline on 30th of October.
The competition was held and hosted on the N64brew Discord server. Now that the competition is complete, you can find the ROMs for download here, or on each individual page (linked below).
