The game reviews have been tallied, and the Winner is Shattering Steel, by Recryptech. After two very close 2nd place games with Flowjam 2021’s Growth of Winter and then again with the 2021 Summer Flowjam entry The Illusionist , Recryptech doubled down with the very fun, juicy, and highly polished Shattering Steel . Not only did this game earn a well-deserved top spot, it also as scored a rating of 4.01 - which is the highest rated Flowjam entry since we began collecting ratings.
Congratulations, @Recryptech! Your entry was absolutely my favorite! You managed to create a simple customization system that was surprisingly fun to experiment with and had a well set atmosphere. This was a well-earned win
I just saw this, this is really great to hear! I’m so glad you all liked it, I put a lot of effort into Shattering Steel, so it means a lot that not only did you guys like it, but it also won! I’ve been racing for that first place finish for a while now, and have learned some great lessons and competed against countless great games and creators. I don’t plan to stop anytime soon, but to finally achieve this is amazing. Major thanks to @Mhx_Air for the amazing work with the soundtrack and for his devoted effort to pump out something great. He was great to work with, and without him, I know for sure this game wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining or unique. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and I wish everyone well on their own game development journies as well!
sorry I’m late to respond, but congrats @Recryptech ! it was a very well deserved win and my personal favourite from the jam.
it was great to see @TinkerSmith enter and place too!
and good job to everyone else! even the unfinished games had some really cool ideas.
one unfinished (I think?) idea I liked was iteration: COLONY
for some reason it reminds me of the Multiverse game on mathletics I used to play in elementary school, not sure why.
