Five great games were created for Knox Game Jam 2025. Thanks to everyone who attended the kickoff and created a game. Great job everyone!
Reality Breach is a browser-based bullet hell game with an alternate reality theme and cell-shaded graphics. Players take on the role of a “Reality Architect” who must navigate through collapsing realities while battling entities that seek to corrupt and merge these realities together.
This is a prototype game powered by Generative AI. It creates an interactive experience based on a user-supplied theme, generating both text and images dynamically.
A stealth game featuring combo-based spellcasting. As you obtain implants, your connection to the net will increase, empowering your spells and making you more vulnerable to incursions. Strange forces lurk within the net, and do not take kindly to interlopers.
This is a cross between an asteroids style shooter and Conway’s Game of Life simulation. The objective is to clear the blocks on each of the levels. The blocks will change based on the rules of Conway’s Game of Life.
