Congratulations to every creator who built, submitted, played and rated. Here are the community rankings, category leaders and judge-picked spotlight awards.
🏆 Best Use of AI / Tools — WIND//SWEPT
Codex across design, coding and testing—plus a gameplay bot built for the trailer, Playwright capture and FFmpeg assembly. A standout use of the tooling itself, not only AI-generated assets.
🌍 Best World — Pet Rock
A strange retro-advert aesthetic, creepy-cozy narrative, distinctive dialogue and the relationship between the player, their mother and a suspicious pet rock create a memorable little world.
⭐ Judges' Pick — Rock Star Pebble
Ambitious, charming and memorable, with enough originality and personality to earn the pick despite its rough edges.
Great games come from vision and iteration, not from who hand-typed every line or hand-drew every pixel. Build an immersive world with whatever gets you there: AI art, AI audio, coding agents, asset packs, your own hands, or all of it at once. Bring the experience. We judge that, not your process.
ROCK
Material, movement, music, metaphor—or something else entirely.
Mine it. Stack it. Build with it. Climb it. Roll it. Rock the stage. Rock the boat. Hit rock bottom. Become someone’s rock. Befriend a pet rock. Reinvent rock–paper–scissors.
These are only examples—not a checklist. Surprise us with your interpretation.
Voting is by participants and invited judges, never the public. Four things, each rated 1 to 5:
Plus judge-picked spotlight awards:

6PM BST is 17:00 UTC.
List what you used on your submission page (for example Claude Code, Midjourney, Suno). If you used no AI tools, say so. It is a badge of honor here, not a confession. No disclosure means no entry.
You are responsible for your tools' terms and any third-party claims on what you generate. No trademarked or infringing content.
We will not train any model on your submission. We may feature entries to promote the jam.
Obvious zero-effort, single-prompt dumps may be removed. The bar is a real experience, made well.
This is a build-cool-stuff space. Tool-shaming and flame wars get moderated.
The theme is ROCK. The clock is running—hit Join jam at the top of this page and start building.
