#849@levelsio@LEVELSIO🏆 The Vibe Jam of 2026 sponsored by @cursor_ai + @boltdotnew + @heyglif + @tripoai is now being judged!
Me and @s13k_ are now judging the ~1000 games of When either one of us likes a game, it goes on to the next round, so it's like a first stage
@s13k_ built an awesome judging system that lets us just play the games in the browser (most work in an iframe) and then immediately score them
Then in the second round, we send the remaining games to the other judges: - @timsoret from @oddtalesgames - @ericzakariasson from @cursor_ai - @NicolaManzini from VibeSail - Alessandro from @OverJumpRally
The prizes are: - First place: $25,000 - Second place: $10,000 - Third place: $5,000
19 games done, 926 to go!

#849@levelsio@LEVELSIO✨ The cool thing about this year's Vibe Jam is that most games now have an actually working ⭕️ Vibeverse portals where you can walk, run, swim, drive or sail from one game straight into the other one
The more player your game sends to the portal to other games, the more players you receive back!
Kinda like a link exchange but for games 😊
You can enter the portal with any of the 945 games submitted here: https://vibej.am/2026/#games

#849@levelsio@LEVELSIOOne of my favorite games from last year's Vibe Jam was http://vibesail.com
And I'm honored the creator @NicolaManzini wanted to be a judge for this year's jam when I asked him!
#849@levelsio@LEVELSIO🏆 Round 1 of judging the Vibe Jam of 2026 sponsored @cursor_ai + @boltdotnew + @heyglif + @tripoai is finished now
We've gone through almost 1000 submissions now, and there's some really great games in there and a huge leap vs last year's #vibejam
We're now onto Round 2 where me and @s13k_ start rating games a score of 1 to 10, I think we can finish that this week
Then in Round 3 the other judges enter to rate the final 50-100 games and we will know the winners!
I'm a bit slow but that's what happens with so many submissions, and I want to give games a proper chance, not just skip through!
P.S. @s13k_ built a great judging system for us to use, most games work fine in an iframe and if not we open it in a new tab to rate, which you can see here

🕹️ 945 games submitted 🛝 242,212 players 👁️ ~12 million views on X
Now me and @s13k_ will start the judging process, probably pre-vetting games first with some help from AI (like if the games load at all) and then they go on to all the judges
I want to thank everyone who participated! ❤️ There's only 3 cash prizes but even if you don't win, I hope you all had fun creating things, which is the best part of AI for me, it lets me create things I could never have dreamt of making before
It's already clear to me from the submissions that AI's ability to help you create beautiful and fun games has progressed a lot, last year's games looked clunky and basic, this year's games are starting to look like stuff you could find on Steam
There's no specific deadline for when judging is done but we'll try to be as fast as possible, last year it took 2 weeks I think!
