In 2025 I discovered Game Jams and made 18 Games or games-like little pieces.
it was the time to fuck around and find out, everything is all over the place, I could play around without commitment. Tobias Zarges stopped teaching at KHK, and
Jeremy Couillard started.
Tobis seminars and influence was really important to me starting out and beyond that.
January and february
Tiny Cowboy Parade This is a little musicthingy. I like the vibe, but there is not much to do, besides listening to music.
Cat who is an interiour designer My second point and click game. I like the idea and the world and all the posters I made so you,
the cat who is an interiour designer, can decorate this small empty depressing universe. It also looks very cute.
However I didnt know about playtesting back then and it shows!
Getting myself horses for my birthday I made this on my birthday before my little party as a gift for myself and I love it.
March
Just wait in the car A game where you are the getawaydriver and well... you wait in the car. Also you play on your phone and you make big decisions.
First time I let my friend Sina and my bf Janis voice act and they are soooo goooooood!!!!!
I made this for the nokia jam, but got disqualified for music beyond nokia capabilities whoops. But i gotta say the music i made for this is kinda good, so that was worth it.
Eternal Flame 2
I love this one. I made it for the Girly Game Jam and got 5th of 72 places hehe.
Its a dressup-poem about princesses and I got it all voice acted by Janis.
Funny enough, it was inspired by flans Titanic 2 , hence the name.
Manifesting Machine
Contrapoints said once about a video of hers, that she should have worked it out on therapy, but good therapists are hard to find and its easier to just tell youtube.
This game is similar.

Somewhere in the middle
I love this one! It's about how things do not always go as planed, unrequired love and finding ones way.
However, lots of people didnt like it or thought it was not game enough, and I get that. It is a lot of reading.
If you dont mind a text based game, I think its worth checking out though. Also it has good music, I made the melodies and my little brother the drums and it is really catchy!
I made this for the 1bit jam and got 26th of 102.
Apocalypse Doctor
This one is not as good. It's fine. It's okay.
This was also for a jam, the micro jam, and the theme was zombies. I wanted to make zombies in an interesting way, and i did that, but other than that I had nothing to say.
placed 13th of 39.
June and July
Horseduel
A horse themed trading card mobile game. You play it on your phone with friends who play it on their phones.
One person on the internet really loved it and my a exel spreadsheet for everyhorse and eventually they got them all. What more could i wish for.
Point of no return 2
There is something about this one. I hit some sort of nostalgic nerve and i think it is finished enough to be enjoyed, but unfinished enough to be sort of weird?
I feel like when my games get better there will be less space for that.
September
Writing emails at work
A destop simulator for nihilistic marxists? Someone wrote in my comment section: "the jank you’ve made is the polar opposite of corporate shine, making the whole thing feel like caramelldansen’s stuck in my head during a microsoft teams call."
and I think I leave it at that.
it was made for a jam, I think I could have made a cooler ending but alas.
October
Birds and Bunkers
I made this so quickly I dont remember a whole lot about it.
I made it for the unpolished jam and ranked 2nd of 44. Dont ask me why, people just really love to fish.
Angry kitty
I made this for class, so its very unusual for me, such a gamey game. My first game with a highscore, wow numbers go up.
From a design standpoint, I felt like this turned out very me, I had so much fun selecting the music and making the backgrounds, that was very fun!
I fell in love with godot while making this.
Like a pirate
I made this for the wareware jam or scareware jam as it was for helloween! The topic was slime!
Making this was sososo much fun, it is about sinking with your ship.
I think everyone should make a game with wareware, it's so easy and so fun! It really feels more like a toy than a tool!
November
BeachPartyFun
This is a neocities webpage game about finding your way to the beach and to the beachparty! Will you find it?
It is a loveletter to existing in the internet even though social media feels more and more hellscapeish.
Trashy sparkly webpages will always have a space in my heart and I had so much fun learning how to make them and realising how much fun it is!
I hope I take some time soon to make another trashy webpage game, it is really so silly!
