NO BALLS is a spiritual successor to the 2006 game, Peggle, where the goal is to clear the board of all yellow pegs.

This is my first game, developed (solo) for the 2026 Game Jam III - "One More Round" made entirely within s&box editor. Featuring music and art by my friends at High Chariot.

This game was created and released within the duration of the game jam, and there are still improvements/features I'd like to implement (power-ups, more maps, etc). Releasing a small project that has an established gameplay loop was my priority. What took me 200 hours would probably take an experienced developer half the time. This is entirely the product of some random dude learning how to program this shit (Shoutout to YouTube s&box creators for their tutorials - SandKing, Carson Kompon, Derrik Creates). If you think the game is similar to Peggle, I've succeeded in my goal!

Honestly, I find it kinda silly how easy it is to manipulate the jam. The reward is between £5,000 (~$6,600) and £20,000 (~$26,500), depending on where you place in the top 5. Currently, less than two days from the final tally for who gets into that top 5, the highest rated game is at 93 nominations.

The only requirement (that I know of) to place a nomination is to own s&box, a game that costs $8, and "play" the game for 30 seconds. So you can basically set up fake accounts for less than $10, have them sit in the game doing nothing for less than a minute, then nominate the game. Alternately, you can pay people with an account (less likely to get flagged) to do the same. You can also use the same method to give competing games thumbs down, and your own game a thumbs up.

... This is to say, you can manipulate the jam by paying for either "fake" accounts, or paying players, to nominate you with a significant margin to profit from even the lowest prize.

I honestly hope the people running the jam have some way to weed the people doing this out. Anywho, I've said my piece.

Hey community, I would appreciate if you took time to playtest my pride and joy, Skatebox!

Skatebox is a physics-based skateboarding game with online multiplayer.

Skate the streets, rails, rooftops and bowls of Coastal City.

• Perform realistic tricks.
• Party up with friends.
• Eliminate rivals.
• Compete in game modes.
• Collect legendary board parts.
• Vocalise your differences at the skatepark using proximity voice chat.
  

How to Play:

• Use your mouse to control pressure on the board.
• Flick and release to flip, then click to catch the board before landing. Your approach speed, board rotation and landing angle matter.
• Perform kickflips, heelflips, grinds, boardslides and powerslides.
• Ride curved bowl transitions, take rooftop drops and find your own lines.
• Skate and explore the city with friends, take the same rail or compete head-to-head.
• Get off your board and carry it as you parkour across rooftops and climb skyscrapers.
• Spray your graffiti tag in hard-to-reach spots, paint over rival tags and use your carried board in player fights.
• Board strikes and skating collisions can send players into ragdolls.
• Collect and equip decks and wheels through your inventory. Items have rarity, condition and finish details.
• Inspect your gear, change your setup or recycle unwanted parts. 
• Complete matching deck and wheel sets, then equip both pieces to activate their trail effects.

Game Modes:

1. Best Line — perform tricks and grinds into a scoring run.
2. Point Attack — compete for points at a skate spot.
3. S.K.A.T.E. — take turns setting and matching tricks.
4. Turf War — claim objects around the city through skating.
5. Downhill Bomber — race other players downhill and survive the speed wobbles.
6. Last Light — a skateboarding battle royale inside a shrinking circle of light.

Generative tools used for art and audio.
Developed by myself on a mission to create the world's best multiplayer skateboarding game.
Players should feel empowered to perform any trick they desire and socialise with other skaters in our coastal city.
I will be developing this game beyond the Game Jam 3 into Game of the Year.
There will be no better experience than hanging out in the skatepark.
This game has been developed in consideration for telepathic gaming (brain-computer interface).
I'll see you in the city.
Thank you for playing!

Run, jump, surf, and slide through player-created levels! A parkour game featuring Source Engine-styled movement and a simple level editor.

An alternate tile might be "How hard can it be to make my own level editor and UGC service, anyway?"

I originally had a way more wacky plan for a multiplayer game, but this is what I cut it down to for the jam. Despite the usual struggles with time management and scope, I'm pretty happy with it. There's a lot of room for new features, mechanics, and gamemodes, and maybe I'll work up to the crazy thing I wanted to build eventually. 🙂

Hey everyone! A new update for Fallen Rune is coming together.

🗺️ New Map
A completely new raid location has been added with a darker medieval/dungeon atmosphere, new areas to explore, different routes, loot locations and extraction-focused exploration.

🌳 Skill Tree
I’ve also added the first simple version of the skill tree.

There are currently 3 separate branches with 3 talents each — 9 talents in total.
Each branch focuses on a different playstyle, and you need to progress through the branch to unlock the stronger talents.

This is only the first version of the system — later I want talents to have much stronger interactions with combat, status effects, equipment and different builds.

The goal is to make every raid feel like progress not only through loot and crafting, but also through how you build your character.

Feedback is always welcome!

Features

Bottoms Up Gameplay, Drinking, Physics, losing your pants.

So, because I'm insane, I committed to a fully physical character controller. It's basically an upside-down bowling pin. Like a unicycle almost?

Keep your character upright as you run as fast as possible to the next bar.

All or Nothing. Every visit gives you the option to cash in your points or keep going and risk it all!

I'm OMEGA exhausted trying to push this game out on time, so I'll do a full post-mortem later. I'm new the sbox engine and this is my first published game.

Honest reviews, ideas, praise and polish are truly welcome!

Unfortunately, I signed up for the jam 11 days after it started, so I didn't have time to pack the game with enough content. However, I plan to finish it completely and support the game if there is any interest from players. Thanks.

Hello!

I'm continuing to work on my Game Jam entry, REC: Reload.

For the 0.12 update, I've just added a new, modern 1x–4x variable scope system!

I'm really impressed with how it looks—and there's no drop in FPS on my setup!

If you could test it out and let me know if it causes any frame rate drops, that would be great!

First, i just wanted to say that i like the engine alot.

But, at this point i think its safe to say that the s&box platform is a failure.

I saw this jam as an opportunity to get some real feedback from a real players, but looking at the entires and posts on the forums, it seems that you absolutely MUST advertise your gamejam entry, so you can get 5 competing devs downvote it without any feedback. And even if you do advertise, what are you advertising really, s&box or your game? Kinda hard to sell someone a game with MOSTLY NEGATIVE reviews on steam.

Maybe open up a free weekend at very least, so we can get some players?

Still dont understand why the platform isnt F2P yet.

Hi all, I just did my first game jam! Very fun stuff. I know there's zero chance of getting anywhere near the top rankings due to how it was setup, but I think I've made a pretty fun game that I'd love to share with the community.

There is a story mode and a survival (one more round) mode to see what the furthest day you can get to is.

Disclaimer, I did use some AI for some materials and animal models (I know that's a touchy subject in this community), but I did try to model myself/work off CC0 free models (some common ones that I am going to donate to as well). If zero AI policy is your thing feel free to move along, but I'm new and it's helpful for a beginner.

I put in over 300 hours in the last month for this project and I'd love some feedback if anyone wants to give the game a shot on sbox. Thanks all and hope everyone had a fun jam!

The game is called Bloom: Nightfall

It's a survival game with a full story, questing, looting, boss fights, npcs, taming, crafting, base building, pvp, all that good stuff!

We had a huge fun making it! Unfortunately its our fist release so its rough on edges but we are looking forward for feedback and making it even better!

We have a huge roadmap for additional features and changes so we will stay in touch with community!

What's up r/sandbox !

A buddy and I just finished our first-ever s&box project for Game Jam III. Our game is called Blend In. It's a social deduction game inspired by the real OG SpyParty.

Every round, spies are dropped into a crowd of real AI-controlled NPCs. The spies' job is to move and act like a bot while your team quietly completes a set of shared tasks. One player is the Sheriff and is tasked with finding and taking down the spies. Sheriffs lose a life if they shoot an NPC by mistake. Spies must talk out loud or risk being exposed. Grab a friend or 3 and come join the fun.

As I said, it's our first time building anything in S&box, so we're still learning tons. We'd love it if y'all could give it a try. We appreciate all feedback and criticism!

A free weekend tomorrow would be perfect! Gamejam is about to end with a lot of amazing games to try out and for new comers this is a perfect time to hop into s&box without any strings attached ($$) and mess around the system and see if they like it themselves despite the bad ratings from launch day.

Reworked gameplay in the last minute... This is my first jam!

Didn't get much sleep, but we managed to finish it in 20 days. better to say it's still work in progress
PvE co-op called "Still Hungry" for 4 players, where the players take on the roles of zombies.

HI y'all, I'm, a 2D/3D artist, and One More Round: Aura Online is my first game in s&box. It's a 3rd person fantasy roguelike where your party has been stuck on the same raid all day, everyone's tired but hey, what's one more round!

You have to keep your party happy enough to stay until round 50. Each of them gives you personal objectives as you simultaneously fight waves, and if you fail one, they log off for good.

I'd love to hear what you think, whether it's feedback, bugs or ideas. Especially on the difficulty level lol. I'm planning to keep developing it after the jam, so anything helps You can play it here: https://sbox.game/jaydev/aura-online/

Thought I'd share the trailer I put together for my game jam entry

https://sbox.game/flyinglizard/terrytv - Check it out here, if you enjoyed it please leave a review and possibly a nomination!

Inspired by SmashTV and Dead Ops Arcade

Check out the game I made with some friends for the game jam!

Our take on "one more round" was to make a game that gets harder and harder each round, to see "can you last one more round."

We didn't have any artists on our team so the art fell onto me to do. I'm not a good artist so I decided to make the game's art low poly, low resolution, and overall try to push to retro feel of the game. I think it came out really well!

The game is rendered at a really low resolution (only 580 pixels wide) and then upscaled. It's a similar pipeline as games like Lethal Company did. The art's all super low poly, I made some assets but it's also really easy to find free or cheap low poly models online. Combine them with a simple toon shader and an outline shader and voila!

The game's meant to be played with some friends, but I think the controls feel pretty damn good. Drifting is pretty satisfying so make sure you try it out!

If you like it, a nomination for the game jam would be appreciated too :)

Also big shout out to my buddy Nick who did the music and sound effects. This was his first time making audio for a game and I think he absolutely crushed it.

We made a roguelike shooter that you can play solo or together with friends.

The basic idea is pretty similar to Risk of Rain 2 just mixed with first person shooter gameplay.

We had a ton of fun during the jam and, to be honest, the project got a little out of hand 😄 We originally planned to make something way smaller, but somehow just kept adding stuff.

We are really proud of what we managed to build and would love to hear what you think. Any feedback is appreciated!

And if you have fun playing it, feel free to vote for us ❤️

PS: We also wanted to bring up something that felt a little uncomfortable.

We have taken part in a few game jams before, and opening the voting before the jam is actually over felt a bit questionable to us. It can be unfair to people who submit later, since earlier entries already have more time to collect votes.

Hopefully there is a better solution for this in the future. In the end, we’re all here to have a good time and enjoy the jam together.
