If you haven’t heard about it yet, we’re back with a new game jam, and thanks to our sponsor, Kwalee, the winner has a chance at a potential publishing deal plus other really cool prizes! For those unfamiliar, Kwalee is a leading UK publisher and developer of hyper casual mobile games founded by gaming industry icon David Darling. Some of their hit titles include Draw It, Shootout 3D, Off the Rails 3D, Rocket Sky!, and Go Fish! It’s a huge honor to be partnering up with them for this month’s game jam.
