The best game will receive expert development support from the GameMaker team, before being unleashed within the Opera GX desktop browser. The GX Game Jam is being hosted with GameMaker Studio 2 - the world’s leading 2D game development engine, and in collaboration with Game Jolt, one of the largest communities for games and the people who make and play them. The winning game will gain the prestige of becoming the first playable game to ever feature in Opera GX, helping to entertain gamers during those rare offline moments that would otherwise make them cry. The top three artists will also win cash prizes of $3k, $7k and $10K. The GX Game Jam competition will give one winner the unique opportunity for their game to be played by millions in the Opera GX offline page.


We created the GX Game Jam to call on all artists and creative gamers to make the offline experience fun,’ said Maciej Kocemba, Product Director of Opera GX. ‘When the internet is out, some browsers get on our nerves with dinosaurs or surfing games which only reminds gamers that without the internet we’re back to the stone age and can’t surf the web. Opera GX, the world’s first web browser built specifically for gamers, today announced a challenge for the best in-browser offline game: the Opera GX Game Jam 2021. Ever lost the game due to lag? Got kicked out from a server when your WiFi went crazy? The Internet is great when it works.

Opera GX is calling on artists and game creators to make a game for the browser’s ‘No Internet’ page that displays when your WiFi is out.Dinosaurs are long extinct and surfing is better with the internet up - this is GX’s response to offline games in other browsers.
