This latest Game Jam comes off the heels of multiple previous events held by Opera, which, in addition to the current title available in the desktop GX browser, have also seen over 1,900 unique games built and submitted for inclusion. Opera GX Mobile is its mobile version available on both Android and iOS. Opera GX is the only browser designed for gamers, as it offers a myriad of customization options, including color themes, sound effects, background music, as well as CPU, RAM, and Network Bandwidth limiters designed to leave more of the computer's resources for gaming. This makes Opera GX the only internet browser that is putting the future developments of their service into the hands of the community. The voting process will begin with an internal review by Opera, after which the chosen titles will be put up for a vote on social media to select the top 10. The remaining prize money will be distributed between the top 5 runners-up, with a portion going to titles that receive the most plays.
Hosted in partnership with GameMaker – the fastest and friendliest cross-platform game development engine – the Game Jam, running from ( October 4th, 2022), is offering $36,000 in total prize money, with $10,000 going to the ultimate winner. Now, the team set a bounty to find the best mobile offline game and to offer it to Opera GX mobile's vast audience. The competition was won by Operius, the first thrilling offline game, which has already been played millions of times. In 2021, the desktop version of Opera GX ran a Game Jam to create its first offline game. Opera GX is out to change this and offer a thrilling alternative made, like its browser, for true gamers. Those games include a prehistorically simple dinosaur game and a not particularly thrilling surfing adventure. Web browsers often feature simple offline games that can be played via the application when the user's internet connection drops.
After all, they're the ones that are going to be playing it when the nightmare of no data or WiFi strikes," said Maciej Kocemba, product director at Opera.
But as the only browser built specifically for gamers, we're incredibly excited to be putting this awesome opportunity to create the first Opera GX offline mobile game into the hands of our passionate community of game developers and users.
"All the other in-browser mobile games were created ages ago, behind closed doors.
