About the jam
This week, Game Builder Garage is turning 2 years old! Since the game's release, we got to play so many breathtaking creations from all over the world. But the first GBG creations we ever got to see, the ones showcased in the game's announcement trailer, were never released to the public.
So, to celebrate this anniversary, let's take a trip back to the past, and imagine what it could be like to play those lost trailer games! To participate, pick your favorite trailer game from the list below, and let it inspire you to create something! You could try to faithfully recreate it, or even remix the idea in fun and unexpected ways! Just make sure the original trailer game can be recognized in your creation.
Have fun, and happy programming!

Rules and Q&A
How much time do I have to make my game?
Submissions open on June 3, 23:59 UTC+1, and close on June 10, 23:59 UTC+1. This gives you a whole week to create and submit your game!
Can I submit multiple games?
You may only submit one game to the jam. However, your game can be split into up to 3 game IDs as long as they are connected using Swap-Game Nodon!
Does my game need the same name as the trailer game I chose?
Definitely not, you can give your game any name you want.
Can I submit a game that wasn't created in Game Builder Garage?
This jam is focused on Game Builder Garage, and thus we can only accept creations made with it!
Can I team up with other people?
Of course! Just make sure to credit everybody involved when submitting the game.
Can I reuse logic and textures from a game I've already made?
Yes, but most of your game's content should be created specifically for the jam.
What am I allowed to put in my game?
Your game must be appropriate for all ages. It may not contain things such as nudity, graphic violence, profanity, or discrimination.
Can I make videos or livestreams about the jam?
Absolutely! If you do, please consider using the #gbgjam hashtag to make your work easier to find by others!
