GMTK 2026 Game Jam submissions go live

gamingJul 26, 202640918

Dozens of short entries for the GMTK Game Jam 2026 Count Down theme are live on itch.io. Rawktron uploaded Bit Rot, a puzzle game about salvaging a failing hard drive where every eighth instruction executes then deletes itself, and the developer warns about Windows Defender and macOS verification prompts. Perfect Pixel submitted Countdown by Francis Bean, which frames its premise as a choice to "save the world or save yourself." Munji, Luisjakg and deRedBlob released Click Clock, billed as an "ultimate Clock Tower Defense." Multiple solo and small-team projects also posted developer notes, screenshots, and play links, inviting players to try the jam builds now and offer feedback to creators.

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

My submission for #GMTK2026 is live! Go play it. For a solo project in 4 days, I'm very happy with how it turned out. A metroidvania where you're constrained by the number of rooms you can explore in one attempt. #gamedev #godot #indiedev quantumplator.itch.io/bloodbound

My submission to #GMTKJam Psycho Seconds, a single level platformer roguelike with a COUNT DOWN. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart Beat the level to unlock new abilities then play the level over with new hazards and enemies and a tightened count down timer.
