Summer Party Jam
The editorial cut: top finishers and games we couldn't stop thinking about.
“The Crucible. Eight levels of arena descent with a trader, a socketed-totem upgrade tree, and banked loot between runs, all playable in co-op.”
“Flames of Liberation. Faction warfare with a real tutorial that teaches the systems before it puts you against other people.”
“24 Chairs of Doom. A last-one-standing party game for a room of up to 24, with a survival leaderboard that turns pure chance into a running score.”
Featured games
Standout polish or surprise. Worth your time.
“DEEPSMOKE. Built by the Star team, so it sat out the top three. Still one of the best things made this jam.”
“Moon Raiders. Built by the Star team, so it sat out the top three. Every kill refills your oxygen, so attacking is how you stay alive.”
