Brackeys Game Jam 2020 - BEST GAMES!

 so we recently held the third official

practice game jam an event where you get

one week to make a game from scratch and

we were so overwhelmed with how many

people participated in the jam over

2,800 people joined and we got more than

700 submissions which is over twice as

many as the second jam and almost five

times the first Jam it's always super

fun to see what you guys can make in

such a short amount of time and this Jam

was actually kind of special because

it's the first time that we've allowed

people to use pre-made assets and I'm

extremely impressed with how well

everyone was able to utilize this in a

unique and creative way so before we get

into it a huge thanks to everyone who

participated in the jam and helped make

it a success over the past few weeks

we've been playing a bunch of the games

and while all of them are cool in their

own way we've chosen a few we'd like to

show in this video so without further

ado let's have a look at some awesome

games from the breakfast game Jam

but first this video is sponsored by V

game the game is a music and sound

effects library especially made for game

developers the goal is to help minimize

the time it takes to find exactly the

right sound for your game what makes me

game different from a normal music

library is that it lets you search by

video game categories and then download

specific parts of the soundtrack like

drum and bass stingers bumpers and stems

to vary the soundtrack so that it fits

these specific parts of your game

besides this they even allow you to

search based on music key level of

intensity mood and much more the game

offers a wide selection of tracks from

composers and sound designers around the

world starting at only $3 - more

high-end tracks made by Grammy and gang

Award winners who've created music for

games like god of war so if you're

looking for music or sounds for a game

you're working on I definitely recommend

to check out V game will of course have

a link to their site in the description

along with a guide on how to most

efficiently start using V game so the

theme for the jam was holes and holy

moly did we get a lot of cool different

takes on that theme some of you took it

very literally

for example in feed a hole where you

literally play as a whole and in this

pit trying to swallow as much as it can

I was surprised how engage the gut in

this simple gameplay for some reason I

just found it so satisfying to watch

stuff fall into the pit especially the

small red cubes at the start other games

had a more abstract interpretation of

the theme in

the whole truth for example you're a

detective trying to figure out what

happened at a crime scene and in which

order in other words the case has holes

and you're trying to fill them you walk

around the scene and gather clues that

you can put together to create events

these events have to be put in the right

order to solve the case

the game itself is very intuitive and

the UI felt great to navigate and the

fact that you can move the clothes

around as you see fit is a very nice

touch and it makes it way easier to

organize in a way that makes sense to

you next up we have manhole man in this

first person manhole shooter your job is

to cover up the open sewers with walled

manholes to keep the aliens from rising

into the world from the underworld let

me be honest this game was weird but in

a good way and oddly amusing somehow

especially the newspaper menu was very

well thought out and a nice addition to

the game in order to win however you had

to fight the alien boss on the highest

building by surfing to the top and let's

just say that my surfing skills are

quite rusty so I never made it

apparently thousands of hours in sea a

source wasn't enough and now that we are

in the subject of aliens in whole me not

you play as planet Earth your main

objective to escape an evil alien race

that's trying to poke holes in you

however with every hole you get a weapon

appears making it easier to kill aliens

but of course more risky because you

have fewer lives the goal is to get an

upgrade three weapons which means that

you intentionally have to lose lives in

order to win this makes for a really

interesting mechanic where you

constantly have to decide between

staying safe and adding more firepower

on top of that all sprites are hand

drawn on paper which gives the game a

very unique art style and on the topic

of poking holes and stuff

fluffy flight is a physics-based puzzle

game where you have to transport an egg

to safety and you could say that this

game is pretty extraordinary

of course the egg is strapped to a

balloon that you can control instead you

have to poke holes in the side of the

balloon so that the air pressure will

push it in the opposite direction

however the balloon only contains a

limited amount of air and if you lose

too much it pops

but luckily you have three bandages so

that the holes can be patched back up I

must say that this mechanic really blew

me away get it because the arias book

anyway you can also refill your air by

flying into air bubbles oh and I forgot

to mention that there are spikes

everywhere just waiting to poke some

holes in our fragile balloon making some

of the levels quite difficult

fluffy flight is a nice take on the

theme it has great gameplay level design

audio and all this together it just

makes the game pop okay I promise this

was the last one I don't want to

exaggerate now one of the most stunning

games of this gem is obliterator in fact

we will completely blown away by the

amazing graphics shader effects and

overall atmosphere I mean just look at

this however obliterator is just as

beautiful as it is frustratingly hard

it starts off all peaceful you just

cruise around in your spaceship soaking

in the view and suddenly buzz music

starts playing and black holes start

flying to what you to avoid them hitting

you you have to stun the black holes

with asteroids by using your gravity gun

however it's not as easy as it sounds

controlling the spaceship gets

exponentially harder the slower your

flying if you're going backwards it's

just impossible for me at least but

despite my lack of skills I played this

game for way too long

however I think it's good to remember

that you don't need high fidelity 3d

graphics to make a good looking game a

good example of this is hole punch this

is a game that despite its simple

graphics still manages to look good and

on top of that it's just crazy fun in

hole punch you're a very strong guy that

can slice up any part of the level with

a single punch the goal is simple get

from start to finish while collecting

keys or coins along the way how you get

to the finish line though is completely

up to you you can play cautiously

considering every slice but as I did for

the last few levels furiously clicking

to destroy absolutely everything as fast

as possible the game is very polished

and has quite a lot of levels the

controls feel good both working and

punching and the soundtrack had me

completely invested the entire time

it's good right now next up we have

entered the diction which is a 2d puzzle

game the goal is to dig through the

level to get to the exit without getting

shot by arrows it sounds simple but

these few mechanics can create some

pretty challenging levels and I overall

really enjoyed it and staying on the

topic of mining in piti piti

you also play as a miner who's trying to

take his way down a pit to gather

precious metals while having to avoid

the gloomy enemies who try to stop you

along the way one of the really cool

things about this game is how the menu

is set up at the top of the game when

learning the controls you have the

opportunity of controlling game

variables by digging your way to the

different option buttons very cool way

to merge gameplay with an options menu

and combine this with a well-executed

NES pixel art style and P deep it

definitely stands out now many of the

games were weird or had some weird

mechanics but portholes hid a whole new

level I'll just let it speak for itself

I can't believe how many times I've

watched this crap it's so confusing and

weird and the music is just I love it

thank you for submitting this

masterpiece now in wormholes you only

have two actions placing into and exit

portals with the left and right mouse

buttons the game instantly reminded me

of a top-down portal so of course I

liked it a lot

plus it was just fun watching the little

men fly across the screen regardless if

they hit the right spot or not and

another game about portals is room below

a puzzle game where you have to guide

robots safely through the levels by

using portals room below has a decent

amount of stages along with different

portals and obstacles and it is

surprisingly good at introducing the new

mechanics so that I never felt lost or

confused oh and it's a nice touch with

the collective of breakfast game jam

jars and staying in the puzzle game

genre we have a whole lot of colors this

is a really solid puzzle game that gets

quite challenging pretty fast I really

like the setting and the backgrounds

serving as an in-game tutorial was a

very nice touch

however I must admit that it took me

embarrassingly long to realize that you

could combine colors oh and that thump

sound when you go through a gate

that is satisfying next up we played

realm of holes in this game you're

caught in the realm of holes and in

order to escape you need to gather all

the cosmic holes in the realm a very

unique gameplay element in this game is

the fact that it has warp holes

scattered all around the realm just like

normal portals you can enter one and

come out of another

however some holes will warp parts of

the realm itself in practice this means

that the entire level rotates so that

you get to explore the environment in a

new way and discover new areas

throughout the game you slowly learn

where the different warp holes lead you

how they alter the realm and how you can

use this to your advantage

the game is also filled with secret

passages that often feature hidden

riddles that will help you get through

certain stages of the game later on and

that's pretty much all the games we had

time to cover in this video of course

there are so many amazing games that we

haven't talked about so I definitely

encourage you to go play them yourself

that's of course a link to all them in
