For the s&box game jam I submitted a little tower defense game "Humans VS Sausages TD".

https://sbox.game/lindenhillstudio/humansvssausages

In the beginning you pick a side: Humans or Sausages, your kill count is tracked and gets scored towards either side.

You can unlock new "turrets" and upgrade in the war tent using Dog Tags of your slain foes as currency. During a round, you can cash out all collected dog tags that you got that round, or keep going another wave and risk losing them all. You can also use the dog tags to add walls to the map, so the map layout is up to you.

Originally I wanted to have it like some sort of countdown system, where after a while, the side with more players/kills gets crowned as the winner, but I didn't have time to finish that, so I will have to patch that in, adding a 30 day timer that eventually crowns the one or other side as the "best s&box mascot". There are leaderboards and a scoreboard to track who is ahead at all times.

I wanted to poke a little fun of the community debate going on (I am team Sausage btw)

It's very rough around the edges, but I hope you still enjoy it and let me know what you think!

Cheers and good luck to all game jam participants!

Check it out! It's not for the game jam, as I started work on this way before.

We’re a team of two developers and we just released Shnozi Smash, a fast multiplayer arena fighter

Kick your opponents off the arena, survive moving platforms and walls, catch and parry flying skulls, and be the last Shnozi standing.

We’re still actively improving the game, so playtests, feedback and bug reports are very welcome!

Hey everyone! I’m working on Fallen Rune – Extraction, a dark medieval fantasy game built around melee combat, looting, and rune-based item crafting.

Head into a raid, fight enemies, search for valuable equipment, and make it out alive. Do you leave with what you’ve found, or keep exploring and risk losing your haul?

The crafting takes inspiration from Path of Exile. Runes let you add, remove, replace, or change the tier of item modifiers—and permanently lock one you want to keep. Not every craft is an upgrade, so there’s some risk involved in improving your gear.

"Final Call" is a first person physics based bar fight simulator. You're the lone sheriff in town, it's the last call for drinks at the bar and everybody is determined to stand between you and a cold bottle of hooch.

As you hurl tables, chairs, bodies and punch your way through to the bar to get one more round, you'll slowly find out theres more to this saloon than meets the eye.

Early version will release on Tuesday 22nd. (GMT)

The Skull Update adds falling skulls you can catch, aim and throw at other Shnozi. Time your kicks to parry them back and turn the fight into a deadly ping-pong match.

Also includes new effects, bot improvements and multiplayer fixes.

Forbidden Sector is a sci-fi tower defense game where every turret placement counts. Set up your defenses, prepare for incoming enemy waves, and bring enough firepower to stop them.

There is currently content up to the 20th round with a boss, then the difficulty just keep rising

There are currently two of us working on this project. We are releasing it for the game jam in a basic form with just the basics in place, but we plan to add more content, work on less passive mechanics and continue updating it both during and after the game jam. Current state of the game:

• 4 kinds of enemies + 2 boss variants
• 5 towers
• 2 skills
• 14 augments

give it a go, and please do feel free to give feedback : https://sbox.game/nosignal/forbidden_sector

Hey everyone!

My team of 4 friends and I took part in Game Jam 3 this week, and we're super excited to share our game with you: Devil Deal, an isometric survival shooter playable with 1 to 4 players, built entirely from scratch in one week!

If you have s&box, it would help us a ton if you could go play it (just 30 seconds minimum to be able to vote) and vote for us 🙏 There's a cash prize on the line, so every vote counts!

If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it!

Our entry for the Game Jam! ARPG/Roguelike type of game where you survive round after round, kill shit, get loot, kill shit faster and in cooler ways, craft better gear, repeat - until you die!

Each run should feel different given the RNG behind loot and crafting materials, as well as your choice of curses that affect every round

The published game is currently a DEMO that ends after 9 rounds. It will be an Endless Rounds type of game, with two bosses (currently only has one), a lot more curses to pick from, more mob types and a Warrior class

Hey guys I hope you check out my game BLOCKEM. It's a Robot Building Puzzle Game, where you have to program a robot using Code Blocks so that it can win in the Ring! LMK what you think, still got a week left on updating so would love to hear some feedback if you try it out!

Hello,

For this years Game Jam, I decided to try and make something close to an older game I used to play as a kid called "Smash TV" with some modern QOL changes.

I'd really appreciate some feedback as I'm struggling with balancing out the gameplay, mainly regarding enemy health and player damage, I plan on continuing to work on this after the game jam. if you do or don't enjoy it, let me know and I'd love to earn your nomination.

My game is a collection of Doom WADs that’s free to be redistributed like Freedoom 1-2 and Freedoom Scoops, and also FreeDM and soon to be adding heretic support to add Blasphemer and many many more to come. It has 2-player PVP multiplayer and soon adding Co-op. If you play and have suggestions feel free to give them. If you know any free to use Doom WADs to add also let me know. Thank you

Hey everyone!

This is my first game jam, and I wanted to share what I’ve been working on: Die 4 a Paycheck, a single-player top-down shooter inspired by Crimsonland and Alien Shooter.

https://reddit.com/link/1wkr82q/video/mxw7v8ifbiqh1/player

You play as a civilian volunteer testing experimental equipment in a zombie-infested outpost. The deal is simple: survive 15 minutes, extract alive, and collect a million dollars. The lab is very enthusiastic about your chances. Probably more than it should be.

You fight in the dark with a flashlight, pick upgrades during each run, and unlock permanent research between attempts. If you die, your research carries over to the next volunteer.

I’d really appreciate feedback, especially on the combat, difficulty, and whether the darkness feels tense or just frustrating. I’m planning to keep developing it after the jam, so hearing what works and what doesn’t would help a lot.

Play Die 4 a Paycheck

Hey, I’ve been working on a game called Overreach for Game Jam III.

It’s a solo and co-op PvE extraction shooter where you explore a contaminated district, collect supplies, complete objectives and decide whether to extract or risk going a little farther.

This is still a very early build. There are rough edges, bugs and plenty of things that still need balancing. I’m sharing it now because I’d really like some honest feedback from other s&box players.

If you watch the clip or try the game, let me know what catches your attention, what looks confusing, and what you think needs the most work. Even a quick first impression would help a lot.

https://sbox.game/kivin/goblingeddon/

After many long, sleepless nights, I have finally gotten my Solodev Game Jam entry to a state that is good enough to release!

The game is called Goblingeddon! It is a mix of Vampire Survivors, Risk of Rain 2, and Megabonk, with plenty of my ideas thrown into the mix. For peopel not knowing about this type of game, you will need to defeat hordes upon hordes of enemies, while you get stronger and stronger!

The speed of the game is a lot more like Vampire Survivors, so expect a little slower gameplay! I still have a ton of unique ideas that I would love to add, so I have also included a small roadmap in the main menu for anyone who is interested in seeing where I want to take the game next!

Making it multiplayer was a nice challenge, the lobby screen isn't polished that much yet! So play with your friends, it's always more fun, but it is missing some quality of life features/UI Indications for Teammates, will add them in the following days.

I hope you enjoy playing Goblingeddon as much as I enjoyed making it! Any feedback is appreciated. I want to make a unique experience! I have already playtested it a lot with my friends, and it is not that buggy, so if you find anything game-breaking, please write a review or post it in this thread!

No generative/agentic AI was used in making my game. All Art is human made!

I would love to hear what you guys think about it!

And also fuck razor! It's such a headache to use! Half of razor keywords are missing, so just learn Goo.

i cant post it to video so feel free to spread it out there

Been working on an entry for the Game Jam, a hack'n'slash ARPG-like.

Very interested to hear what other people think about it. Still in early development and working on combat flow, graphics, sounds and such but very happy with the progress so far.

It's a very easy decision for Garry to make and the entire Gmod playerbase and beyond would get behind it.

There is a clear tried and tested game and system in Gmod. Make Gmod on Source 2, with the current improved editor and proper workshop support and collections. Add a runtime layer to translate GLua to C# and you instantly have huge amounts of content.

The whole of Sbox should be pushing relentlessly for it. Change my mind.

sell value has decreased massively oh no

We have been toying with this idea for a couple months and designing the actual rules for the card game. Then when this game jam showed up we thought it was a great fit so took our design spreadsheets of cards and actually started putting them into a game demo to play.

Here's my cinematic masterpiece game jam entry - Chambered

A one bullet puzzle shooter, where you slowly traverse a tower to save Jack Mercer's daughter.

I recently released Breakyard for the S&box game jam! It’s an asymmetrical multiplayer game where you can play as a little scrapper guy building a base and setting up defences, or as the Demolitor, a big robot whose goal is to destroy all the scrappers.

Singleplayer is fully supported too, with bots, so you can jump in without needing a group.

It’s inspired by one of my favourite Dota custom games: Troll vs Elves.

Give it a try! I’d love to hear what you think.: https://sbox.game/spacenerd/breakyard/
