Over 48 hours in late January 2011, game makers, artists, musicians and programmers gathered at the Media Design School in Auckland and the University of Waikato in Hamilton to make games!  75 Kiwis took part, making over 15 games.  Some of them are below for your game-playing pleasure.  

Globally over 7400 'jammers' in 169 locations made over 1100 games on the same weekend. New Zealand gamers were the first to kickoff, working from 5pm on Friday 28 January until Sunday 30.

This year's games were based around the theme of 'Extinction'.

Remember: these games were made fast. There may be bugs, weird requirements but also the seed of some neat ideas.  The games are free to play, under a Creative Commons License.
