I developped Memes Die Too on my own for Game Off 2022. This big game jam hosted by GitHub lasted one month, and the theme was “cliché”. Game Off is dedicated to open source software.
Out of 567 submissions, my game was the 4th most rated game. It was ranked #15 / 567 in Innovation, #28 / 567 in Theme interpretation, and #64 / 567 overall. Within the jam’s voting span (1 month), Memes Die Too was played 364 times.
